Amiga & AROS They better check that thermostat down in hell, because, believe it or not, AmigaOS4 has found a computer to run on - a computer which we will actually be able to buy. I kid you not. "After months of designs and negotiations Amiga, Inc. and ACK Software Controls, Inc. are pleased to announce that new hardware is on its way for Amiga users. Initially, two systems will be produced that address two different market needs. The first is a consumer entry design that will offer a complete product with a target price point of USD 500, while the second will be of a power design that would have a target price point of USD 1500. The PowerPC architecture will continue to be the architecture of choice for these new systems. Manufacturing and final price information along with product launch schedules will be following in the next week." Sure they can fly.

Actually, PS3 is selling so bad at the moment, you could probably find them on store shelfs gathering dust. Wii is a whole other story, you don't want to know what I had to go through trying to get one for my nephew before Christmas and I still wasn't able to get him one. The PS3's price point and lack of games is not sitting well with gamers. Nintendo has always been good at attracting non-hardcore gamers and the Wii is no exception, it is crafted so that everyone can play not just hardcore gaming fans. Its like in the 80's with Atari, I used to see old people playing pac-man. Nintendo's first system was a monster and mostly due to their broad appeal.

Anyways on topic. If Sony would release the drivers (which I really don't see them doing until they pretty much milked the cow dry), using it as a computer isn't a good idea, especially with the amount of ram it has.
