PS3 To Get BBC iPlayer As Well News

Following last week's news of BBC iPlayer compatibility with the Wii, the PS3 is now set to join the party as well...
The BBC is looking at the best way to bring its iPlayer service to the PS3, adding that it will be officially implemented on the platform "in due course". This follows last week's announcement that the broadcaster's on demand service will come to Nintendo's Wii.
The news comes from the BBC's own Internet Blog, where Anthony Rose commented, "We're investigating the optimal video profile and browser proposition to enable us to officially make iPlayer available on PS3 in due course."
Rose also had a few choice words for the anonymous internet coder(s) who managed to make the iPlayer for Wii available on the PS3. "By the way, if the person who created the ps3iplayer port is looking for a job at the BBC, (s)he's welcome to contact me."
By typing ps3iplayer.com into your PS3 browser you can currently get an unofficial version of the BBC iPlayer for Sony's next-gen system. The coder(s) responsible for this translation provide their mission statement on the ps3iplayer site:
"It's mainly a demonstration of how easily the BBC could support the PS3 with their Wii version. This does nothing more than mask your PS3's user-agent string and makes half a dozen changes to make the JavaScript and CSS function correctly on the PS3. It only took a day to produce, so come on BBC - how about implementing this properly?"
Well, it would appear that their wish will be granted in the not too distant future.
