This news makes Sony's announcement of Linux support via the console 100% official and means that users will essentially be able to turn their gaming system into a fully-functioning computer, replete with whatever applications they feel like installing, be it for entertainment or business.

I don't understand the negativity about this...people just need to research or something. I've heard everything from the RAM would make it run like crap to the PS3 being virus-galore. Really, google is your friend.

I also don't get why people are mad about it becoming a PC, if you don't need one, don't use it. It won't change your gaming experience at all. It's like a whole nother partition on the hard drive...
