Linux is awesome. Although it's a pain to start up, emulating NES/SNES/etc games on the SixAxis (wireless) is too good - I end up playing Ninty games on the PS3 more often than Sony games! (jk)

edit: How about askin if ppl care about trophies?  I'm not big on bragging about what I've beat, but I do like having what accomplishments I've done on record... it sorta pushed me into playing PixelJunk Eden / Uncharted.
