"PS3 has Linux installed and programming is allowed. License fees are not required for individual developers. Licensed PS3 game developers can get SDK and technical support by SCE, but Linux programmers while not having to pay a license fee, obviously won't get as much support. In Linux, Cell is under the hardware layer of the OS supervisor, but things including SPEs are expected to be open to developers. Didn't show off non-game apps at E3, because well, it's E3.."

Linux programs - CHECK
Keyboard and Mouse - CHECK
Who needs a new computer when you have the fastest processor in the world , 7900gtx+, and a blue ray player.
