Obviously the Hulu and Netflix won't work up here, but the YouTube integration is impressive. The ESPN button also works actually. I'm running it through Parallels, and PlayOn and TVersity get along fine, I thought for sure they'd conflict with each other but they don't. I'm starting to like TVersity even more than MediaLink, which is a native Mac app, and Mediatomb, which is Linux, but I was able to compile it for my Mac. TVersity offers the holy grail, transcoding video on the fly. The PS3, as open as it is, still needs to support more media formats in my library. Anyway, PlayOn is cool. Try it out.
