PlayStation Video Unlimited

This is the new PlayStation Video Unlimited service. This PlayStation app runs at a full 60 frames per second (when you see it on a PS3), has tons of 3D graphics effects, full-speed 1080p video playback, and a fluid, hardware accelerated, animated user experience. What you may not know is that this is a web app.

It uses the Trilithium platform, whose APIs allow access to the PS3 hardware (CPU cores, GPU, video playback engine etc.) via JavaScript.

Inspired, as are many other quotes from The Wire.
