Obviously we're still a few months away from "practical" uses (i.e. actually loading unsigned binaries or backup ISOs) but I was wondering what people hope will come from this.
I, personally, don't care for ISO loaders (I earn enough money to by an original game every once in a while), but what I'd really want to be able to is run an unrestricted version of Linux (i.e. with hw-accelerated video) on my PS3, since I use it as a media center and I'm kinda annoyed that I have to re-encode almost every video I'm streaming to it (it happens on the fly but it still has some rather annoying problems associated with it)
However, what is more relevant here at XeNTaX is that I'd really like to hack away at the graphics/sound files for all those PS3-Games that I have. Too bad that this is probably one of the last things that will come from this project, as hacking the disk encryption keys is not really required for running an unsigned executable, but I can be patient

Oh, and of course the Demoscene could also hugely benefit from this hack, seeing what groups like Plastic can do with the full power of the PS3 ("Linger in the Shadows")
What do you think?
