Now here's an interesting use for a PlayStation 2: The GameShark Media Player (a rebranded version of the QCast Tuner I had spotted quite some time ago) turns a Windows, Linux or Mac OS X computer into a media server and enables the PlayStation 2 to play MPEG-1, 2 and 4, DivX 3.X to 5.X, WMV, MP3, OGG, JPEG, etc.
