ps3 playing pc games

[flyguyspy]

hey imodudes
check it
ps3 HD shipped with linux installed
could i run lets say Bf2 on a PC then?

[mjolnir1134]

I have no idea, could you provide a link to where you found such information?

I doubt it'll play PC games... even though it is one heck of a powerful system.

I remember seeing a chart saying it'll play:

• PS1 games
• PS2 games
• PS3 games (no brainer)
• CDs and DVDs

I remeber seeing a PS2 cluster some Uni bulit that was running linux, so it should be possable but I haven't see anything about it shipping with.

Another edit: your right, it sounds like it will be add-on.

Thats a lot of PS2's, how would they get the idea (and the money) to do that?!

Well, it all sounds like some sort of mod to get Playstations running PC games...

found all my ps3 info at the ps3.ign site!

Will the PlayStation 3 come equipped with a hard drive? How big will it be?

Sony will make a hard drive available for the PlayStation 3, but it will be a separate add-on. It will be a 2.5" removable drive, allowing you to transport large files and swap it out for other drives for more space. Additionally, the drive will come with a version of Linux pre-installed, thereby making the PlayStation 3 a full-fledged PC as soon as the HD is installed.

Sony has not yet announced a size for the drive, though it's basically hinted that it will increase the capacity of available drives for sale over time.

A seperate add-on...meh...

Wow, I guess it might work then! Now I can't wait for the PS3. It has all these awesome features... *faint* (Jeez I need a job now. Hopefully all that computer upgrading I've spent hundreds of dollars on doesn't go to waste on a PS3 )

[flyguyspy]

well i imagine a ps3 with harddrive wil be, i dunno, 600$, 700$.
the thing supposedly costs 479$ US to manufacture! i dont wanna even know CAN$.
and the graphics card is more powerful then the 7800 gtx!
its gonna be so sweet
it'll be marketed as the uber-device of yesteryear!

[Bizkitkid2001]

The PS3 will be sold for $399 in the US.

What about http://transgaming.org/ then?

However much the hard drive for the PS2 was will be the same price the PS3 hard drive will be.

The Xbox 360 is going to own the PS3.

[JimRune]

Wonderful insight on your part.

Where did these Xbox fans come from, anyway? Before Xbox, there was PS2 and GameCube.. Then Microsoft had to come and screw it up like they always have.

Even the new Zelda on the Gamecube looks better than any game being developed
for the 360!!

Although Zelda looks awesome,and I've been waiting for another great Zelda game since OOT, There is one game for Xbox 360 that looks ALOT better (at least graphics-wise)....Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion!!!!!

LOOK AT THAT!!!!! AMAZING!! THAT IS A REAL SCREENSHOT!!!!!!

[cryptoguy]

Dude, Xbox will never even come close to the ps3 cell processor.

[eagle1]

Yep, I was waiting for an out of this world showcase from the 360 but
the leap from Xbox to 360 is like a Radeon 9600 Pro to a 6600GT in the graphics dept. ....

How are they planning to compete with the PS3 like that.?
Don't know... Still, 360 does not convince me.
Going to wait for the PS3 and Revolution.
