There's an option right in the PS3 menu to install a different version of linux to the unit. If that's not homebrew/media centre friendly I don't know what is.

Good news from IGN is that it will run ANY unprotected content at 1080p if you so desire - e.g. bittorrents of movies, etc.

-->dagamer34"Wait, doesn't this start to open up a whole new bag of tricks in terms of HDD speed for games that "install" to the HDD? Because, clearly a 100GB 7200RPM drive is faster than a 20GB 4200RPM drive. Oh, and did Sony bother to think about heat buildup if people put in faster drives? Will it affect games since they are often poorly coded and fully exploit the fact that each system is the same?" interesting questions..but these days, on heat wise, 4200rpm and 7200rpm are basically the same...the heat on 7200rpm are not much more than a 1ºC worse than a 4200rpm...i don't even know why in the hell they make 4200rpm sata drives...
