cheap redundant hardware (Score 1)

I can see this has benefits both in the gameing market and as cheap PC's. However one problem I see is that as the pace of gameing console developement increases, linux hackers are going to be constantly chasing the cat trying to keep up with the new consoles out on the market.

On the other hand, it means that these cheap consoles which can be used as PC's will be even cheaper, quicker, because they will be redundant so soon (in terms of being the latest and greatest console) resulting in them hopefully being adopted as *really* cheap PC's with a free OS
