Do serious people go for XBox rather than PS2?
I haven't heard much about Linux on the PS2 lately.
Has it faded away?
Is it easier to put Linux on the XBox?

Incidentally, I though PS3 was supposed to be out by now.
I saw PS2 slightly cheaper in Power City;
does that mean PS3 is on the way?
[I'm hoping I can get a cheap PS2 when PS3 comes out.]
