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........

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.
