PS3 firmware 2.40: The good, the bad, and the belated {Joystiq}

Since when has anyone been able to install OSX on a PS3? I know Linux can be done with the limit on hardware access (no RSX functionality just frame buffer)but I've not seen OSX done yet. Let me know of a site showing how to get OSX in my PS3 and I'll install it.
"A decent framerate/speed/fluidity" Yeah not really most of the games have been running better (and in some cases looking better too) on the 360 with only a few exceptions.
"Lets you move swiftly between games, web pages and media without quiting the game" Since when? some of this is coming with 2.4 but not all of it. especially the between games, you select another game and it will quit the current one your in period, as a matter of fact Sony showed that, it is neat to be able to select another game though as long as it's an installed one.
Keyboard is supported for text entry in a lot of 360 games, but not game play, but then again on the PS3 only a few games support it as well, but at least some of games do support mice on the PS3.
I've got both machines and both have their quirks but the 360's interface was still more mature than the PS3s. Sony has been doing some good catch up and you do have some valid points (like the whole harddrive issue) but there are some quirks even in the features that the PS3 supports (like copying files from a share source, major pain if you have a lot of them, the file copy has quit on me a few times for no apparent reason). Oh and the PS3 didn't have all those features you mentioned at launch (I've had mine since launch).
Rumor: Xbox 360 dropping to $299.99 {Joystiq}
Jun 26th 2008 9:15PM Funny thing is the majority of multiplatform games have had better graphics on the 360 not on the PS3 or have come out even. (I have both systems).

Jun 26th 2008 9:06PM You should check your facts, the 360 can upscale DVD with a HDMI cable or the VGA cable and DOES NOT NEED THE HD-DVD attachment to do so. It never needed that to upscale DVDs.

May 19th 2008 7:20PM For all the people making comments about the 20GB and 40GB PS3s, newsflash the drive can be replaced by any generic 2.5 SATA drive. My 20GB PS3 has had a 120GB drive in it from day one. Also the drive swap doesn't void warranty either it was on page 8 of the manual on how to do it.

PS3 firmware v2.30 is out: new PS Store and DTS-HD MA now yours for the taking {Engadget}
Apr 15th 2008 4:08AM It's not broken New Line titles have issues with a bunch of Blu-Ray players and 7.1 Pan's Labyrinth does the same thing to me but Saw IV works perfectly and they both have the same soundtrack specs. I saw a posting about New Line titles 7.1 issues over on AVS. The PS3 isn't alone with this problem.
Error Code 85010: Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection 'Smashed' {Joystiq}
Mar 11th 2008 3:17PM Great you own 2 of the 3 but you try to speak from authority on a system you don't even own and a service you don't use(the 360 and Live!) still just as bad. I have all 3 and use all 3. Guess that trumps the misinformation you've spouted about Live.

Mar 11th 2008 2:18PM Sorry Dnice that's BS, the only major outage was during this Xmas season, my 360 that has been connected and working (fortunately for me) since launch hasn't had any problems with it (that 360 is now going away to college with my daughter replaced by an Elite) and the the 360 in total sales is still solidly number 2. So stop being a biased fanboy who is divorced from reality. Oh and By the way I can say your a fanboy because I have all 3 consoles sitting in my entertainment center and I know they all have their shortcomings but making stuff up just because you only own one is just sad.
PS3 firmware version 2.10 apparently coming tomorrow {Engadget}
