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.

Absolutely hilarious.
