Right now the new PS3 out is the 80 GB, it comes with a DualShock 3 controller and isn't Backwards Compatible. - $400
There is also a limited edition PS3 that is 160 GB and it comes with Uncharted: Drakes Fortune - It's a fun little adventure game, your plane crashes in the jungle and you are being attacked by some treasure hunters I guess and you have guns. I've only played the demo a little bit, but its a good game. - $500
I haven't done any hacking or modding at all, other than running a NES emulator. It works pretty good, its just a little slow and doesn't have any audio. There should be an update soon, that last version came out several months ago.
I have tried to stream media before, but theres something with my router or computer firewall that won't let my PS3 connect to my PC. I gotta try it again sometime to try to get it to work. It's suppose to be fairly easy to use but I haven't got it up yet.
The PSP-PS3 functions are nice, you can use remoteplay to put the PS3 screen on your PSP and play videos or downloadable games that are compatible. You can connect to your PS3 with your PSP from anywhere in the world I guess, as long as you have an internet connection. Say you are at school or something, you can use your PSP to turn on your PS3 and watch the videos or listen to the music that is on your PS3. It would be awesome if they can update this more with a future PSP so you can play some PS3 games on your PSP! The new PSP would of coarse have all the controls.. hopefully.
There is a lot of free content, demos, trailers, wallpapers, w/e. You can rent or buy movies/tv shows on the Playstation Network as well. It costs I think $4 to rent a movie and $15 to buy one and download it to your system. Tv Shows are like $7 a season or something? I have no idea, but it was fairly cheap.
There are pretty good games out but since you're not too much of a hardcore gamer I can suggest..
Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction
Metal Gear Solid 4 - Awesome story.
Resistance: Fall of Man - Fun to play splitscreen.
LittleBigPlanet is suppose to be a tite game, but Idk.
Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution - Really fun strategic game, you definitely should look this one up.
Those are just a few you might like.
