"Other OS" WAS my primary reason of purchasing a PS3 about a year ago. Didn't own a single game, and owned just one Blu-Ray movie.
I just sold the damn thing on Craigslist. Didn't make all of my money back (of course), but enough to dump a little extra money in my amateur radio hobby.
Like everybody else here -- I really despise Sony for all they've done over the years. But, they do make some good stuff I suppose. Got an MRI a month ago and noticed "Sony" labels on various pieces of equipment in the 'control room'.
I'm not an audiophile in the slightest (I can't tell the difference in MP3, FLAC, etc... -- everything above 128 bitrate sounds exactly the same to me) but I still like their headphones.
(skip forward a few minutes) Actually, my headphones are Phillips, not Sony...
