How to play PC games on your ps3 http://marauderforever.blogspot.com/2008/01/pc-ps3-love.html Not tried it yet but looks interesting.....
thats class - being able to mod the OS and add homebrew apps gives the hackers lots of opportunities for messing about with the PS3 making it a really popular platform. However, it will mean lots more ripped of games for them - it's a double edged sword
yeah, i'm running linux on my ps3 now but sony have locked up the graphics quite a bit so not really using it for anything other than mame / snes9x It looks like you still need a high end pc to run the pc games but it means you can have yourr pc one place and the ps3 downstairs and still play the pc games...
I read a big post about hoe to modfy the kernel to get more out of it but it was removed by the time i got in from work to have a proper look - not found anyhting since...
