"ken_vs_ryu" at ps3mods.blogspot.com has found a way to download torrent files directly to the PS3 without using a client.
"Here are the instructions on downloading torrents directly to the PS3 via TorrentRelay.com.
1. Find torrent link.
* hint: mininova links are easy to memorize.
2. Copy .torrent link *for example:www.mininoa.org/get/########
3. Go to http://torrentrelay.com
4. Click on 2nd input box with [Get URL] next to it. Type in the link from step #2.
5. Click on [Get URL].
6. # Click on the file you want. It will list all the files available on the torrent.
7. Save As dialog should pop up.
8. We only tried an mp3 and it was downloaded directly into the Music folder.
This really isn't good for the torrent community since the PS3 cannot seed files but it's interesting that it's possible.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
What I am still shocked about is the ps3 is 1 year and 8 months old now or 7, something like that, and there is not no hint or sign of an emulator for the system without installing the cumbersom linux. That is shocking with the webbrowser and all you'd think the ps3 would've been cracked 1 week out from launch.
You can actually stream AVIs from the web browser on the PS3 too. There's some sites out there that are specifically made for the PS3 web browser only to achieve this task. It works really good.
lol torrents are awful use newsgroups
NOT interested at all...but I still post :)
will have a gander later when i'm in but two things strike me as potential problems
1. torrent speeds especially on larger files like TV shows etc. downloading an mp3 is one thing, but this is quite another.
2. mutiple files in a single torrent. i.e downloading albums, series etc
