So you're saying that PS3 would run LFS badly?
I think it would run it good.. xbox360 too.. maybe even playstation 1 would run it at low fps ^^
Because LFS doesn't require so much "power".

Ok I meant that, with the current tools/applications available it would be probably be much easier to run LFS on an Xbox. There is a Linux OS availalbe on Xbox (AFAIK)

Running Linux on PS3 - I'm not sure about. Well, I looked it up 2.6 Linus can be done. So meh, easy on both then. And imo PS3 would run it faster. Sorry for confusion.

FWIW, I had the choice to buy both systems, I instead bought a better gaming PC because I play it more often, and I had some left to buy a G25. If I "HAD" to buy one - it would be PS3. My PSP would talk to him nicely.

We can't really tell Eagle what to get, he has his own needs and his own reasons for needing a console. So Eagle, if you feel you need a console, for gaimg with friends etc, then you don't have to get better PC parts because a few people here would do that themselves.

Isn't X-Box live better than PS3 online or something? It's free isn't it?

Xbox live is NOT free, but something in the back of my mind tells me that PS3 online is.

PS3 free internet which on 360 you have to pay or get a trial also PS3 has got alot better graphics Also has its own brain sort of (It can think to what to do in games)
Alot better then 360
You also get a wireless controller :shock:
But most likely with the Xbox you probley will get the Red Dot virus that kills your Xbox/Playstation.
You can also with a PS3 Chose between a 40gb hardrive or a 80 gb hardrive
Also the playstation is BLUERAY! :headbang:
The xbox isnt :)
