Hi, Allan. Actually, putting Linux on the PS 3 has some really good possabilities of designing accessible games for it. Linux does use some open source tool kits such as SDL, OpenGL, OpenAL, etc. I don't know if Sony plans to use the open source tool kits or use their own, but I can certainly see some potential for accessible game development for the platform here. Two apis that really go far in Linux is OpenGL and OpenAL. OpenGL has been said to render 3D graphics better than DirectX Direct3D. The OpenAL api is suppose to be able to do everything DirectX DirectSound does so 3D effects should be easy enough to design. This actually offers some awsome possabilities for Linux gamers. A version can be designed to run on Linux PC's, and can also be ported to run with the PS 3 version of Linux. Who knows Linux 5 years from now might begin to replace the Windows game station as the new accessible game platform. Exciting thoughts.
