tha_toadman Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 bwhsh8r, i mostly agree with you to an exent but "something that will only be obsolete allmost right after we get it" is quite the statement. after hearing of ramblings that the ps4 (why they're mentioning it now is beyond me...the 3rd one STILL has plenty of bugs) is going to come out in 2010. so not quite... i'm here to tell you all i'm going to get one in at least 6 to 8 months (at the normal price) and YDL will be installed on it (linux for you haters) as well as an upgraded hard drive. Who knows...by that time, they may have a "loader" out for it too. Anyway, i guess i'm in the minority in this thread but that's quite alright with me. Lastly, I NEVER buy the 1st generation of any product! While sony's still tweaking bugs, I'm saving money and once the time is right and the 'early adopter' phase is done and gone...i'll jump in.

GBK.Xscape Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 the ps3 is a GOOD deal (not sarcastic) a blu-ray player costs around a $1,000 and all it does is play blu-ray discs but for the ps3 u can play blu-ray discs, video games, and use it as a computer.

Nofences Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I am surprised we havent seen pictures of someone running OSx86 on their PS3 yet! (Yes I realize that is not realistically possible, but you can make a picture of just about anything!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
