Limitless(well not really but you knowwhat I mean)

I know about the many homebrew games that will be playable!I know if it comes with a full version of linux it's basically a pc out of the box and what a pc it would be with all that power!

I have a feeling linux games will be playable but get this sony says people(homebrew)won't have to pay for the license fee making it available finally for smaller companies can you say red orcastra,what about mods!!!!muhuhahaha

Hummm. It's a interesting idea ,but I don't think it will happen I'm not as familiar with WINE though as you might be.Isn't it unix only(I know cross platform but still).http://www.winehq.com/

But It would be funny as hell to see people running ms pc games(halo)on a ps3.If this happens it would be crazy and because ms owns all licenses and property to their os I couldn't see it happening.Of coarse it's open source on the other hand!!!!!!I think linux being in millions of homes by 2008 with be a real problem for ms.But this is only if ps3 sells well and it will.
