...XBMC runs on Linux now. If there were accelerated graphics drivers for Linux on the PS3 you could do the same thing but actually play HD content over HDMI

That was actually one of my first thoughts when I learned that XBMC was was being ported to Linux and that the PS3 would run Linux. Then I found out exactly how restricted the hardware access would be and Sony lost a sale.
