have they released it for ps3 yet? i know you could get it on the wii, but i didn't think you could get it on ps3

if you type in ps3iplayer.com on the ps3 someone's edited the wii version to let you watch stuff on ur ps3, might be worth giving that a go

last i heard was iplayer would work on ps3 'in due course'

edit:

from iplayer site
"Play programmes from the past seven days and watch them on the website through Click to Play (streaming). This works on Windows, Macs, Linux, Nintendo Wii and iPhones - and we're working on more ways"

has anyone else got it working on their ps3?
