PlayStation 3 HDD to Ship With Linux

timtwobuck writes "Gamespot.com is reporting that Ken Kutaragi, president of Sony Computer Entertainment, has disclosed in an interview that PlayStation 3 will natively run Linux. In fact, it will come bundled with it, if you purchase the HDD peripheral." From the article: "But while Linux would require a hard drive to run on, Kutaragi told Impress PC Watch, 'We're not going to equip [the PS3 with] a HDD by default, because no matter how much [capacity] we put in it, it won't be enough.' It was unclear whether he was referring to the previously known fact that the PS3 would not have an internal hard drive or whether he was indicating that the device would not come with the external 2.5-inch detachable HDD outlined in the specs revealed at E3."

So that when people submit articles to Slashdot, they won't be made up entirely of spelling errors..

Just remember, Reporters are Idiots. Period, all the time. Just because you see the mistakes in this article and not others other people that don't know much about tech think this is a factual well written article.

All articles are this bad, missleading and wrong. You just don't have all the facts and can only guess that the reporter knows what their talking about and has their facts right.

Re:This guy doesn't appear to know shit...

[Blakey Rat]

Please. EVERY SINGLE THING Sony announces before the product is released is bullshit. Their marketing department probably has never even SEEN the actual console... or is this one going to be able to render Toy Story in real-time? Ooo, will games have powerful emotions in them because of the "emotion engine?" (After all, a hardware chip is the correct way of producing emotions, not good writing/artwork/direction!)

The saddest part is that people are falling for the same bullshit Sony announced before the PS1 and before the PS2. Sony marketing = BULLSHIT. Period.
