Great. Can I get a PS3 and run Linux on it yet? (no)
This just reimburses the poor folks who thought Sony wasn't a fucking complete asshole org. Remember when they shipped a rootkit on their crappy music CDs a few year back? Yeah, THAT bunch of assholes. Anyway, this is only a payout, they are not going to update the firmware to let normal people use Linux on it. Are they? It would be too little too late, AFAIC. YMMV.
