BBC: iPlayer for PS3 "in due course"

Anthony Rose, the Head of Digital Media Technology for the BBC, has said that the company is currently looking into the process of making the iPlayer available for Sony’s PlayStation 3 console.

Writing on his blog in response to the appearance of iplayerps3.com – a website that allows PS3 owners to stream the service on their console – Rose commented, “We’d love to be on every popular device tomorrow, including the PS3, and it was on our roadmap.”

"We’re investigating the optimal video profile and browser proposition to enable us to officially make iPlayer available on PS3 in due course."

The BBC is currently only offering use of the iPlayer for Nintendo’s Wii console.

Stay tuned.
