Well wouldnt it be hella lulz if Steam released a client for Linux and then PS3 otherOS support was reinstated and it had the functions of the GPU ect. Then you could run like Doom 3 and Steam games from Linux on a PS3.

Having an argument with a guy over the internet i know its pointless but i just want some clarification on the subject.
Valve did a total u-turn on PS3 development not because Sony paid them off but because Valve deciding to port to Mac makes it possible to port from Mac to PS3 because of the similarities like openGL use on Mac and the Power PC architecture. They are actively seeking to hire Playstation developers. Also because Microsoft are unwilling to integrate features such as Steamworks due to its use of xbox live, Sony are more than willing to allow integration of Steamworks into its version of the games for cross platform chat with Steam and achievements ect.
The whole point was the PS3 development didn't benefit anything other than solely PS3 development but now because of Mac ports and integrated features not only is it easier to develop for that system but also worthwhile because it expands upon Steam.
NOT because of a $550k handout. I cant even find this fucking "handout" on a search.
Valve never developed for Playstation in the first place they outsourced PS3 development to EA and stopped because it was to hard for Valve to do it themselves and other companies couldn't deliver the quality they wanted.

It really has nothing to do with Sony paying off Valve or the (dis)similarities of Mac and PS3.
(FYI, Mac no longer use PowerPC and PS3 uses OpenGL ES v1.1, which is a striped out, old version of what OSX uses.)
Companies makes these types of decisions not because of their skill or development abilities (which they can easily obtain the talent), but because it makes perfect business sense. It is a terrible decision for a company (Valve) to segment themselves from a market (PS3) just because they didn't invest their time and money to that market (PS3). You have to give some to get some, simple as that. Valve could invest $20 million on PS3 talent, and down the road get $100 million in return from customers.
You get what I am saying? The reason of Valve moving/invested towards OSX is because Valve will have another market to make money.

So, whos hacked there PS3 already?
I realise that they are not the exact same but it allows them to port over more easily imagine rather than straight from direct x. I also think that they can offer a lot on PS3 with Steamworks ect. They said they gave up on PS3 because it didn't benefit them they didn't get anything out of it i can find an article if you like.
Its stupid $550k is nothing Valve are obviously doing it on their terms. Their development is all linked Steam and Steamworks, the Mac OS stuff, the xbox 360 and the pc ports. The PS3 is still difficult to develop for if you have no experience with it which they dont, so if Valve put effort into it in the past all they got as PS3 development skills nothing else that helped any of their other development now its a case of yes it does improve on other things they and can bring a good experience to PS3 users with the added features over the 360 version.
They didnt like how frustrating and time consuming the development but now they can deliver, like i said they want to take on PS3 developers.
EDIT: Hookey they released a new firmware security fix for the jailbreak and that so you need to stay on the older one if you want to try it but then you cant update or go online.

I do love my PS3, but it doesn't save me money in any way shape or form, it costed less to purchase, but games are more expensive, even used. I just bought a bunch of top notch titles during the steam sales (55 games) for $150, which included games like both Bioshocks, both Dirts, All Red Factions, All Company of Heroes, Just Cause 2, Metro 2033, and a bunch of other great things, even used some of those titles are quite new, wouldn't have been possible on either console.

The Tv looks good infinity 
And i have just completed White Knight Chronicles and i have to say it is actually a fun game if you play it more and if you like the type of battle system it uses.
Definitely going do a 2nd playthrough and i can't wait for the 2nd game to be released in UK.

VERY nice. Sammy or LG always get my vote. I had a pretty sweet 1080i 40" Samsung in white.......I miss that TV! But my 42" 1080p LG is a bit better

That is the stupidest thing that Sony has come up for the PS3.
First, there is something called the PS2.
Second, the EE chip is not required to play PS2 games, it can be done via software.
Third, PS2 emulators on the PC can upscale PS2 games to a gorgeous "near HD" quality, while the game remains untouched. So why the hell can't the same be done on the PS3? Only reason I can think of is that Sony can resell upscaled games (God of War Collections, Team ICO Collections, etc).

Sweet good to hear! I've really been looking forward to PlayStation move since the early demos of it.
I might buy two so I can play with my family.

From the videos I've seen and the testimonies I've heard, it seems to be a whole lot better than the Wii remote. I'd like to try it out, but like you, I'm not a fan of motion control. Plus, I'd have to move my PS3 out of my bedroom to get enough space to move around with the controller.
