Would you like to get on the PlayStation Store using your PC? You might have your own reasons for wanting to try it but for the heck of it, we guess it pays to know stuff. Some have even claimed that they downloaded Gran Turismo HD, and the files are encrypted as *.pkg files.

Anyway, if ever you are interested, here's what you should do:

• Open Mozilla Firefox
• In the Address Bar, type: about:config
• Right click on the table, then click "New"
• Then choose "String" and type: general.useragent.override
• Click Ok, then type: Mozilla/5.0 (PLAYSTATION 3; 1.00)
• Close the tab, open a new window and go to: https://account.np.ac.playstation.net/login.gvm

Regarding your downloaded stuff like demos, you can always transfer them to your console anyway. If you've figured out a good reason why anyone should do this, kindly inform us. Thanks!

Yes, the void has been filled! You will be able to install Fedora Core 5 on your PS3s right now if you have all the components ready! The void we're talking about here is the OtherOS Installer which has just been released by Sony on their Open Platform for PLAYSTATION site. So let us be the first ones to tell you how it's done. We're getting our own PS3 in a few hours and we'll make sure that you have the whole install process with pictures later on.

First, download all of the components that I've listed here.

• PS3 Linux Addon CD - Burn it on a CD at a slow speed (4x - 16x)
• OtherOS Installer by Sony
• Fedora Core 5 PPC image (DVD) - Burn it at a slow speed (2x - 8x)
• HTTP Download - [here]
  
• Bittorrent Download - [here]
