Only 690mb~, and has the biggest list of hardware supported you have and will ever see in your life.
i mean, a PC from the 1990's will work 100% FFS.
It won't work, PC OS linux is written for x86 CPU's
The PS3 uses the cell broadband processor

CHRISTIANITY: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

Yeah but the problem with our situation is that car technology isnt moving anywhere near as fast as computers. :cry:

The PS3's failure rate is more like 4-6%, and the wii is less than 2%...
take into account the fact the Xbox 360 has sold more than double the amount of units the PS3 has, and the failure rate is actually not bad.

Besides, The newer 360's don't have this problem, nor do the elites.
