If you use TVersity as your media server it will convert anything your ps3 can't play back on the fly and stream it to your ps3 in a format it can cope with. So whatever you download if your pc can play it then it'll work on your ps3.
According to the little brass plate attached to the last coin smashing machine I saw, the Coinage Offences act of 1936 was the piece of legislation which prohibited, amongst other things, the defacing of any current coin. This was repealed in its entirety by the Forgery and Counterfeiting Act of 1981.

In Satnav head-to-head: Navman S100 vs TomTom Go 540 Live
"We put two top-end models from TomTom and Navman - respectively"
Isn't the TomTom 940 their top end model, with the 740 below that? I'd say this makes the 540 more of a middle of the range model...
