    Yeah, the Blu-Ray players alone are like $2,000 or close to that, so the PS3, is actually VERY cheap, just people aren't thinking about everything inside the box.

    lolololol That's a crazy amount to save, but man, where have I been in the last 5 months? 5 months ago, it was way over $1,000... is Blu-Ray losing the HD-DVD/Blu-Ray war? Or is it getting easier to mass-produce?

    Lol, yeah, hmm.. can Windows OS be installed or is there a problem with trying to install it? I would keep Linux 100%, but just wondering if you can invite an enemy into another enemies home base?

    Lol Microsoft needs to give it up, they don't monopolize the PC universe anymore, anyone with even 1-2 years knowledge of a PC, can install a new OS or whatever they want. Freedom of speech? Well freedom of entertainment.

    Yeah man, I love Linux, best OS I have ever tinkered with, I don't use it on this PC, because this PC would crash over and over again, and wouldn't be worth all the trouble, can't wait to upgrade :lol:

    I tinker around with Mepis a LOT, I don't think it is widely used, but I go for the less common distributions of almost anything, all the time.
