  I'll tell you.  It's was on PS3 Linux where it should be.  Well, that is until some hackers didn't appreciate the platform and access that Sony gave them and wanted to open the PS3 completely.  Now think about this, if Sony already gave them the ability to run Linux and homebrew apps/games, what's the point of hacking the system completely.  The only reason I can think of is piracy.

You do know sony removed ps3 linux support right?

Of course I realise that.  My point is the platform was there for homebrew.  But it wasn't good enough for some, so they tried hacking the entire system.  Sony responded by taking away what they were using to hack it.  They should have just been happy with what they were given, as it was much more than the other console companies gave them.
