Utterly ludicrous.
SecretBonusPoint said:Although that said, did anything interesting ever come out of the PS3 Linux scene anyway? Seemed like a complete novelty at best to put the "COMPUTER" into the PR mouthful PLAYSTATION 3 COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM®

V_Ben said:Fair enough. I don't know anybody that uses this feature, so if it frees up some more memory, i'm cool with that. Besides, if you want Linux on something, buy a cheap PC.
Hmm. So will the partition become unusable or will it merge with the game os partition?For those PS3 users who are currently using the Other OS feature but choose to install the system software update, to avoid data loss they first need to back-up any data stored within the hard drive partition used by the Other OS, as they will not be able to access that data following the update.
Seriously WTF is SOny thinking! They could just go try to go after geohot's ass but instead they screw all phat PS3 owners.Soneet said:I once saw someone have an LCD screen, keyboard and mouse and a PS3 in his room. I asked where the computer was and it turned out that the PS3 was the computer thanks to Linux. That made me think PS3s were awesome. I guess Sony doesn't think the same ._.
Hence the removal of a low use feature (outside of hardcore circles)Cep said:And the the community will hopefully oblige them, they DO NOT like to be fucked with.
They weren't selling them Slims if they needed Linux anyway.Valkyr Junkie said:Just companies that were buying PS3s to turn them into server farms. Sony loses a ton of money in this scenario.
No, because 1) those companies just need the cheap computing powers, not the blu-ray and game function and 2) Sony loses money on each PS3 and those companies were purchasing no software or peripherals.Valkyr Junkie said:Just companies that were buying PS3s to turn them into server farms.

Y2Kev said:What can you do with OtherOS on PS3? I thought it was gimpo'd.
It pretty much runs as a terribly slow computer with parts of the hardware locked out, so it was effectively only useful for emulating SNES games, and browsing the web.Y2Kev said:What can you do with OtherOS on PS3? I thought it was gimpo'd.

Y2Kev said:I'm sure Sony can sell large clients like the US Army special PS3s if they want them with OtherOS. I bet they might even give them a solution that allows them to access the full PS3 under OtherOS.
