PlayStation 3 Could Support Mac OS X

Posted by Zonk on from the it-could-do-many-things dept.

ucahg writes "Sony's website has a press release stating that they will release the PS3 in 2006. The most interesting part about the page, though, is the last sentence which reads: 'The integrated Cell processor will be able to support a variety of operating systems (such as Linux or Apple's Tiger).' Is this what Steve Jobs was talking about when he said Apple and Sony looked forward to cooperating more in the future?"

    Wow.

    Just, wow.

    Take an 8-month old report of Apple looking to "work with" Sony. Add marketing speak from the initial burst of info about Cell, and how it is designed to run "multiple OSs".

    Add some Sony fanboyism.

    Add some "Slashdot Anti-Microsoftism(TM)".

    Watch the speculation fly. And watch people make complete asses of themselves.

    This is hands down the stupidest, weakest thing I have read here in a long time.

    This is an overblown misinterpretation of a GAMING CONSOLE. You will not be running the PS3 like a PC or your dumb-assed Mac. It will play games. This is (roughly) how it will go.

    Step 1) Insert Game
    Step 2) Play Game
    Step 3) Realize the OS is of no concern to using a gaming console and return to your pathetic, rumor-mongering existence
    Step 4) Masturbate
    Step 5) Sleep

    Any questions?
