wow, didnt expect that. good news

So if the ps3 can support any USB then will it be possible to transform the PS3 into a very powerful PC with keyboard, mouse, printer, internet browsing. That would be so cool, as i have been looking at getting a computer in my room. PC and PS3 for £400, now that would be cheap.

Im probably expecting too much here but oh well :roll:

it supports keyboard,mouse,internet browsing 8)

dunno about printer

well if it can support any USB and any driver can be installed then a driver for the oldest of usb printers could be specially made, but sony will probably bring out special keyboards and thing for rediculous money.

**TIP FOR EVERYONE

EB games and gamestop(i think its gamestop) will not be taking any reserve orders for the PS3 till september.

But dont panick, sony have told them to do it(or not in this case), it is so that they can be told by sony exactly how many will be delivered to each company, so that they wont overbook.

This way if you pre order with EB games, then you will recieve your PS3 on release date. 22nd - 24th sep is the time they start taking orders, so i will be on there alot around that time.

Well it's linux. Get some egg head to write up a driver for it.

Just hope they don't install a crappy distro. :P
