'Value for money' for the PS3 is getting better & better all the time. The price I paid is being offset by the amount it can do at every update.

I was toying over an EyeTV only a few weeks back until I downloaded the latest update & it seems the PS3 will be doing a similar job to that of an EyeTV. A few more filetypes need to be supported, but it's well on the way.

OS4 on the PS3 would be a great string to it's bow IMO.

I might be interested enough to buy both .. However the lack of access to the GPU - the RSX from nvidia is a large turnoff..

As a user I don't have much interest in PS3. I've got a desktop tied to a desk, I don't have much use for another, which is what the PS3 would be. I do want a laptop, which ps3 doesn't help with.

As a developer for OS4, there could be a few useful things to it. It's got bluray and HDCP, so one coule potentially use this as a platform to create players, drivers, APIs, secure data transfer stuff, etc. to play HD movies. I'd still prefer a laptop though. I'm really not likely to buy any more OS4 hardware that's not a laptop.

I have my A1 for desktop use aswell and also really misses an Amiga Laptop.
But i would also like to see OS4 on my newly bought PS3 and would certainly buy a copy if/when it becomes available.

Having access to OS4 in my living room would be nice for when my GF uses my A1. I also think a lot (thousands, ten thousands?) of Ex-Amigans would give OS4 a try if it was available for the PS3 and priced just below game price.

IMHO Amiga and Hyperion should have released that version long time ago.

I could not be more pleased with my PS3, and intend to have several in the house, as computers for my two boys and another as a central part of entertainment centre. I am considering making one my main home computer as well.

Having recent got a Benq HDTV monitor (<a href="http://www.benq.com.au/products/LCD/?product=1010" target="_blank">FP241w</a>), I am overwhelmed by what comes through the screen.

OS4 would be my ideal OtherOS on it. I have Ubantu Linux at the moment, as far as Linux goes it is fine, but I don't like Linux at all, especially its slow boot. OS4 quick and easy booting and switch-off shutdown fits; Linux does not.

PS3 is a fixed architecture, and powerful, much more so than anything we are looking at in amiga HW. Plus it has already sold in its millions and thus represents the biggest potential market we have.

PS-Home is coming out soon and with that a means of advertising our OS.

It just seems such a logical way to go. No hacks required, a games console inviting in a foreign OS is found nowhere else.

And we have X11 server technology, and hence many of the essential and familiar SW products are a much simpler port away.

It is not a question of a PS3 owner wanting OS4 on their HW, but rather OS4 needs such a HW platform. It needs to break out beyond its community shell and begin to find new generations of Amigans - now.

MikeB mentioned PS3 Home which is rumoured for open beta release in three days time, with a stage one release perhaps around November.

There is a good deal of significance in this. At first it will probably not appear to much, a handy meeting place, some communications and a small market place.

However, the potential, if it is not stuffed up, is enormous.

People should take a look at Second-life, I am not recommending it, but there are features there worth considering, and aspects of these are inherent in PS-Home.

Virtual worlds have a lot of potential power, especially for the internet.

I call it the principle Virtual Geographic Self-Organization.

Instead of vying for notice on the Net, by intrusive advertising, sometimes very misleading, consider the power of Virtual Geography. Consider, for instance, a town of Porn (probably more a metropolis given the size of the industry). Go there and you know what you are getting, moreover, be there and your customers come willingly.

Apply the same logic, to any other industry or service. OSland, a place for Operating Systems, within a metropolis of Computing in the region of Software.

In terms of commerce and a better functioning web, virtual space in a geographical sense, self-organises, perhaps into stalls and shop fronts. The point being there is every reason to be in the right place (or several right places), and not popping up where you are not sought.

It is possible to staff shops, that is have people able to answer real questions. The communications aspect is very strongly developed.

If Sony, in the long term, does it right, and there are signs of this (the ability to kit private rooms with HTML pages, the market - mostly up market, spaces, the use of secure deposit based monetary system), then PS home is a power in its own right.

AmigaOS should be there in its early days, the first release I don't expect a lot from PS Home, but if they keep developing it, then it could well be the place to be for practically anything.

Endless google lists, could well become swiftly a thing of the past.

I don't understand why there are still peoples who discuss PS3 for OS4. Let me be crystally clear here:

-there is 99% chance that OS4 will be released for Cyber and Blizzard
-there is 33% chance that OS4 will be released for SAM
-there is 3% chance it will be released for Macs Mini
-there is 0.03% it will be released for PS3

The whole hype about Cell has stopped anyways.

Now I've finally got my PS3. It works so fine and I'm very happy with it. The only thing that I'm dissapointed with is the
web browser, its too slow. I'll see if I install Linux on the PS3 as a workaround but Amiga OS4 would be wounderful... running Opera!

So YES, I want OS4 for my PS3.... pppplleeease!!!
