The new PS3 is going to have a hard drive with Linux pre-installed. This will have to be purchased seperately, but still sounds like a pretty neat thing. This means that with an attached hard drive, you could use the PS3 as an all around networked media player, file server, or desktop PC. The interview touts the interesting things that can be done with Cell processor, and hints at the hacking possibilities that will be available. I for one, am pretty excited to see the potential of this device once it comes out. Sony is now touting the PS3 as a "supercomputer", as opposed to the MS/Nintendo track of calling it a "toy".
