This achievement has earned you your "Pop Star" Level 3 Badge!

The title "Record Set for LOWEST Super Mario Bros Score" is a bit misleading though. It should say: "The lowest SMB finishing score" or something like that. The lowest score of that game is 0 unless you can somehow gain negative points, which was what I was expecting to see after reading the title.

I would totally work out in this! Is there a Portal version?

Congratulations! Your video, Super Mario Bros if it had next-gen sound effects, has reached the #1 spot in the current Top 15 New Videos listing. This is a very difficult thing to accomplish but you managed to pull it off. For your contribution you have been awarded 2 Power Points.

This achievement has earned you your "Golden One" Level 20 Badge!

I was just working my way through the unsifted videos and was lucky enough to find it. Normally I go only a couple of pages into the unsifted realm, but I stuck it out to page 4 and there it was. Fate?

BTW, I used to be a frickin GOD at Super Mario Bros, but now I don't even touch a game controller unless my son asks me to play Little Big Planet. The last game I played regularly was the original Mortal Kombat on Sega Genesis. Who's old? I am.

Interesting. I pretty much only use PS3 to play games (which is rare), watch BDMVs, stream NetFlix and as a DLNA device (PlayOn, PS3 Media Server). It would be cool to play SNES/NES ROMS on there. I wish there was a better DLNA interface other than the stupid folders. That's what irks me the most, to be honest.

Let me know what you do with it when you hack it.

As soon as I got my PS3 I realized it had more potential than playing games...since I'm not even a big gamer I figured I should utilize everything available. Eventually I caught up with the history of PS3's open-source origins. Originally you were able to load linux and install your own files onto PS3 as if it were any ol' computer. Then they decided to take that away with an update (firmware >3.41). Since they were advertising an open sourced system, they couldn't legally take that away without being sued (which they were) so they claimed the updates were optional. Here's the kicker, without the updates you could no longer watch blue-ray nor access playstation network, nor play many of the games.

*enter hackers*
They pretty much found ways to hack ps3, but as far as I know it requires actual hardware that you must purchase. These days it is pretty cheap hardware.

It's hard to pretend like I'm totally pissed about this since I didn't even own a PS3 when open-source was king, but now that I know it did exist, I want a piece of that vintage console.

You have lofty goals for your PS3. I never thought about it, to be honest, but it sounds like you've got an even better idea for the PS3 - let me know how all that works out. I wish there was a way to change the DLNA interface to something better. Maybe there is somewhere? Would be nice if you could modify that.

Yes...the PS3 interface is horrid. I have 50 giggle-bytes (sounds cuter) of music on my laptop...are you saying I have to search through all the folders of music and porn...er...videos? I found a way around this though...I have winamp remote and I use the PS3 browser to log into orbcast which is a front end for winamp remote. That let's me search, so it's a little better. What's a VCN? I mostly want a media server actually connected to my television so that I can easily run programs straight from the source. I like the front end of those moxy boxee foxy roxy soxy and lixy programs. I think some of those I made up though.

Also, the Hulu shows that are on PlayON are the same as the ones on Hulu plus...which exclude a lot of good shows you can watch on the good ol' fashioned internet. They figured since most PS3's are hooked to TV and most computers are hooked up to smaller monitors, people will keep their cable bills if they keep some of the shows via internet only. The PS3 browser, if you haven't notice, won't play ANY Hulu...and that's no accident.

A jailbreak would allow me to potentially have an open source PS3 (just as god intended it). They came up with some bullshit that open source would be a security threat to the playstation network...when really it's all copyright bullshit that companies like Hulu and those clients of Hulu have agreed upon. If I want to run yellow dog linux on my PS3, why shouldn't I be able to do that? Then I wouldn't need to struggle through the PS3 interface. Also, I'd like to load some emulators for SNES onto my playstation...god forbid Nintendo gives rights to sell Super Mario Bros Allstars to Sony.

Not a fan of Playon, huh? Well, it's probably the PS3's DLNA interface that bothers you the most. Question, how are you using it if you don't have a media server? My configuration is an old PC I was going to get rid of connected to my wireless router via ethernet cable. I run PS3 Media Server and Playon (I also run a VCN so I can access it without having to plug in a keyboard or mouse.).

I don't use boxee or any of the other DLNA units, just the PS3 because I already own it. The interface isn't awesome, but whatever. And playon is great for me because it was a one time fee of $80-90 bucks which is a single month's cable bill, to be honest. And now I only pay for NetFlix, and my Hulu stream is free. You can't beat free.

What's the benefits of jailbreaking your PS3?

In reply to this comment by rottenseed:
I have playon, I don't like it as much as I like the user interfaces of Hulu, Netflix, etc. However, I do like that you can download scripts for channels. I use it for comedy central, cartoon network, etc. I'm about halfway sure that I'm going to build a media center so that I can use moxi boxee and all the other 'ox-(ies). I just don't know if I want to spend close to a grand doing it. Or $600 at the least.

I use PS3 Media Server and Playon. Playon costs, but there's a onetime fee only.
