Hi Ageless,

Thanks for asking the question.

It's a shame that it will never happen.
As I am sure that it would have been benificial
with all the PS3's out there giving additional
processing power to the various projects.

Yup, removing "Install Other OS" feature was not good.

Perhaps now "George Hotz" aka "geohot" has found the
PS3's master key, someone may be able to sign the app
and get it to work?

Unless Sony's restraining order gets approved and then
they can pull all details and software that he has produced.

On a more legal note, I would have thought that we should at
least be given an choice of which projects we want to crunch
on the system. They could give an option on which one we would
like to install or offer them in the PlayStation Network for
download? Just a though =)

This has probably been asked before, but cant
find any posts.

Does anyone know if Boinc will eventually make it
to the PS3? I know that now Linux has now
been disabled from being installed, we cant run
Boinc that way.

But has anyone at Boinc been in talks with Sony
themselves to see if they would help get Boinc running
on the PS3.

I know F@H is already bundled with the PS3, but with
Boinc, we have more choice on more projects to run.

Surely doing this is a positive for Sony?
