A couple blogs ago I talked about fixin PS3s. I finally got the one I bought working again. I ended up with a copy of Modern Warfare 2 for free. Since I don't like the game, and have it on 360 anyway, I traded it for Resistance 2. Some would say I traded down, but I think they are very wrong.

Anyway, because I am a nerd, I decided to try installing Linux on the PS3. I succeeded, but I am entirely unimpressed. I don't understand how anyone would consider this a value added feature and am somewhat glad Sony took it out in recent models. The reason it sucks is because even the most recent versions of Unbuntu can not take advantage of the multi-core architecture of the cell. They also can only use about 20 MBs of the already pathetic 256 MBs of system RAM. Its slow, pointless, and buggy. For the $299 price of the PS3 you could build a very nice Ubuntu based Mini ITX computer that has HDMI out.Anyway, I'm throughly unimpressed and would encourage everyone who's ever been curious that PS3 linux suxs and is a complete waste of time.

On another note, I'm on PS3 again. PSN name is "zgreenwell" and I still mostly just play Fat Princess.
