Hot on the heals of yesterdays post about the BBC’s iPlayer being released on the Nintendo Wii comes the news that iPlayer is available on the Playstation 3! However in this case its not official, but has been done through the enterprising efforts of a PS3 owner who wasn’t willing to wait for an official version.

iPlayer easy on the PS3

Apparently the owner did it as a demonstration on how easy it would be for the BBC to support the PS3, and according to his website required only small tweaks to make the Javascript and CSS to make it work. Meanwhile the BBC have said that they will get around to the implementing the iPlayer on the PS3, but that this would have to wait in line along with all the other plans for the player. However the fact that someone has manage to get the iPlayer working on the PS3 has so impressed the BBC that they have offered them a job!

So with the iPlayer reasonably imminent, and with Sony’s Blu-ray winning the DVD format wars, now might be a good time to invest in a new Playstation 3.

How do you plan to access the iPlayer?
