heh heh, awww.

I\'m sure that if it\'s a success in Japan they\'ll port it, but it probably won\'t be for a year or two... too bad, the more people we have workin\' on games, the better the games (can) get.

Well, it\'s a bit sad for that small group of people that would actually buy (and use) the thing. But to the remaining 99,9% of PS2 owners it doesn\'t mean a thing. :)

Just a development tool!
That\'s like a painter saying\'
"Bah, it\'s just paint just let me look at other peoples paintings"...
Well programming is intelectually much harder but it\'s the same concept. I believe if you really love games and you don\'t add to creating them in some shape or form thats just wrong man..
Alright sorry, I just want my Linux kit...
Just tell the monkeys to stop laughfing...
Why are they throwing bows at me?...
tell them to go away........

Doesn\'t really bother me. I know that I wouldn\'t have purchased it.

I\'m for Linux all the way.  Maybe it will make development easier, which will produce more games.

Anything that\'ll give Microsoft a rival!

I already use Linux now. So Linux on my PS2 would be awesome! Hopefully they\'ll be able to bring it to the US.

I want PS2 Linux so I can play the Linux versions of UT and Q3 with mouse, keyboard and TCP/IP multiplayer support.
