The PS3 is coming along nicely now, this year is definitely a turning point for it. A global news feature, in-game XMB access, cross game chat, movie downloads and Home are all due this year :)

Hi
Hope this is in the right forum.
Can anyone tell me if I can stream films/divx shorts/etc.

Your PS3 is a media centre and you can view videos and music which is stored on it, or from a PC (using Windows Media Player, TVersity or some other DLNA program). You cannot stream from the PS3 to another device, unless its another PS3. :)
