Yes, I turned both of them into PC's last month, it took me the better half of 30 minutes. I found that the PC360 runs The Witcher and Empire: Total War better, but the PS3PC has it beat with Stalker and Crysis. Hope this helps!

Are you sure? I heard that PC360 can pull better numbers for Crysis. I only use mine for WoW though.

Sorry guys, but we all know the Wii turned into a PC is the graphical powerhouse of the bunch.

I turned my DreamCast into a PC the other night. Then 5 hot chicks gave me their phone numbers. True Story.

If you mean by that, installing another OS then yes, I did try installing YDL (Yellow Dog Linux) on my PS3 and it works fine and it supports all extensions for video, audio and images, browsing is much faster and you have a lot of other options, I'd recommend to give it a try, you'll be amazed by many things I'm sure :) just google "YDL for PS3"

i turned my 360 into pc and ran crysis, i was amazed by the performance, i was getting 120fps with all settings turned to highest. cant believe hermits get like 20fps from crysis running on medium on their $5000 pcs when you can get 360 for a lot cheaper and get better performance

You can run your pc with your DS believe it or not. I'm hoping to run linux on my PS3 one day, once i work out how.
