Re:They said WHAT!? (Score 1)

I've played the few attempts at console RTSs, and they're pretty awful for a few reasons: After the first several times you play an RTS, you learn build hotkeys. Not enough buttons on a console to pull this off (which is the same problem as a console has with Tactical FPSs). The cursors from a joystick are too inaccurate and too slow to be effective (which is the universal problem for most PC gamers who also console game). RTS games require speed in selection and moving about the battlefield. Both they and regular strategy games require accuracy so you don't botch unit orders. Linux on a PS3 has a couple of drawbacks for someone who wants an office box. First and foremost, it doesn't run Office. OO may be able to do a decent job reading Word, Powerpoint, and Excel files most of the time, but (and granted, my experience is a bit out of date on this) there's always huge file mess-ups when there's any kind of screwy formatting. If you're collaberating with anyone, that's a problem. Second, I don't know how well developed the PS3 install is, but I'm hazarding a guess that unless Ubuntu or Knoppix got ahold of it, it's harder than an ordinary user wants to deal with.
