    Linux on PS3

    ok, new question...if i recall, the Cell cpu is 64bit only right? so i would need the x64 version of linux? out of curiosity, would a USB DVD burner work from the PS3? i was wondering if its possible to burn DVD's from linux on it. if so, it could make a decent computer replacement...sorta

    How long without playing a game do you decide to sell it?

    i always keep my games, pretty much regardless. on rare occasion i'll fire up one of my old ones, even if at the time i didnt think much of it. never know, at some point the games might become very rare and hard to find. for instance, i have 2 games that are old and difficult to find anymore...
