Hi folks, I'm mulling over getting a PS3 for Christmas for the family, mainly for Bluray playback, but also for the odd game or two. Now I realise the new PS3 Slimline doesn't support the 'Other OS' option, although I have the option of getting one of the original PS3 consoles (a 40GB I think).
The thing that attracts me to getting one of the original PS3 consoles is the fact that I can run Ubuntu on it. However I'm wondering what is like on there? What I'd like to do is play HD video files and possibly a few emulators, but I have read that when the PS3 is in 'Other OS' mode it limits the graphics hardware and memory, so I'm wondering if I'd possibly be better of getting a standalone Bluray player (which are now pretty cheap) and also something like an Atom/ION based PC for media playback? Is anyone on here running Ubuntu on the PS3? Ta, Rob -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
