I have a passing interest in this kind of thing, for novelty's sake more than anything.

I might have to buy the next console that comes out and just leave it boxed up in the closet for a year or two, so when this stuff surfaces I can experiment. I feel oddly left out when I hear about this stuff and either don't have the correct version or just don't have the hardware itself.

I had a friend growing up with an amazing PS2 that basically functioned as a media server. Absolutely blew me away at the time.
