That is a good point... I bet there is nothing else as powerful at the price point either. It would make an excellent Linux media server.

  Sony advertised this as a feature of the PS3 called "OtherOS" and then got sued when they turned around and removed it with a software update. Settlement was supposedly $65 but it looks like affected people got a whole $10 for their trouble: https://www.reddit.com/r/PS3/comments/9izcpm/has_anyone_received_the_65_from_the_ps3_sony/ https://www.reddit.com/r/PS3/comments/9izcpm/has_anyone_rece... There were some clusters made out of PS3s, presumably the operators kept these from updating, but they wouldn't be able to replace failed units with new ones anymore: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2010/05/how-removing-ps3-linux-hurts-the-air-force/?comments=1 https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2010/05/how-removing-ps3-linu...

    I remember that. It seems like there were some restrictions that held back performance in OtherOS mode, though. It was too bad that they didn't keep it up.

      You couldn't get GPU access. You had full access to the Cell BE though.
