So I recently purchased a new slim ps3, but since I can't install linux on it and use firefox, I was wondering if there was a way to watch stuff on ESPN 360 via the ps3?
Does anyone know what the netflix dvd is coded in? I figure there has to be a way to code a dvd to act as a browser that would be capable of displaying espn 360 content. Any ideas?

So much for the theory that no one wants linux on their PS3...
The netflix disk is just a bluray live disk, I don't have another player to test it with, so I am not sure if they followed the standard to the letter. I would try it with linux, but I have yet to find a bd-live compatable linux bluray player (nor have I searched for one).
the netflix dsic, uses BD live to stream content from a netflix server... but i think unless u got ps3 dev tools u cant make a dsic that can play espn, the only way i can realy think of doing that is use the ps3 web broswer, copy the shows onto the ps3, stream from pc, or put all the shows on a BD disc.
The Play on looks interesting, but don't know if I could rationalize paying the $40 for the limited use I would have.
Have special ps3 development tools would make sense and causes a barrier there. I have tried to use the ps3 browser, but espn 360 requires and install file and it doesn't work on the ps3.

Thanks all for the help.
BTW...Sony has dropped the price of their dev tools a lot...you can get all the tools, plus a dev-console for just $2000...a great deal, but it is still doubtfull that ESPN would make a disk...as they would also have to hire at least one programmer, and they would have to have the disks pressed. It would be a cool feature for them to include in the next fifa or ESPN game...but the ability to watch real matches live through the internet would probably attract few sales.
