Yeah - That's why we're keeping our PS2. I'm about to buy the 250GB PS3
and will set up mediatomb for it as a follow-on. Good thing the TV we
got for it has 2 HDMI, 1 HD Component Video, 1 standard AV, and 1 RF for
inputs. That gives us our cable TV/DVR box, PS3, and PS2 in HD, and
leaves an input for our old N64.

Superb picture by the way. It's the new Vizio 23" Razor LED if you're
interested.

Cheers,

Chris
