"Pre-transcoded to MPEG2" ? Interesting way of putting it... If only  
because every single recording my Myth box captures is in MPEG2 (HDTV  
of course being that way from the head end and my analog stuff being  
captured using a hardware MPEG2 encoder card). I'm assuming the PS3  
will handle 1080i and 720p MPEG2 in that mode?

/me has been angling to get ahold of a PS3 for a while, but can't yet  
really justify it...
