    Yeah, I think I'll finally pick one of these up now, but it'll probably be for gaming/movies rather than DC. I'm fed up with having to pay for Xbox Live!

    It sounds like it will probably be much more difficult to get Linux running on it, but I'm sure somebody will figure it out eventually.

    with version 3 of the firmware of a PS3, it is not possible anymore to install a 3rd-party-OS - at least official - does anyone know if also the "fat" PS3 is affected?
