Nah, bad idea. OtherOS was removed, so you cannot run linux on the current PS3 models, or if firmware was upgraded to 3.21+. The PS3 doesn't really offer more, what a modern Blu-Ray player cannot, in terms of media playback and streaming.
How much is a PS3 in your country? You might want to check how much a Laptop/Desktop with i3 processors are selling, probably a better deal and saves you some hassle.
