Sony said that ps3 is more than a console... So without marketing speech sony ps3 is only a console. And that is what my promblem is with the mainstream consoles. These units is only game machines. You can use them for other things but you will be realize that ps3 is for game. Not for wordprocessing, not for music composing, not for dtp works. Of course some crazy japanese university fellow will surely do for a toast/tea maker for it, but in real life you wouldn't torture your ps3 for such a tasks
In the old days amiga was a good game machine and a personal computer in one. One time you play on it, the other you work on it. That's why i hate consoles: you can't do these on it.
Whoever running os4 on ps3 is funny thing.
