Hype is gone, now it's just a ripoff (Score 1)

I'll admit Linux on my PS2 sounded cool, but I'm definately not paying $200 bucks US (or $1million canadian... stupid economy) for a Linux OS that Sony won't allow to do anything but surf the net and compile a few programs. I'll do that on my desktop. Sony won't even allow you to rip music from a CDROM since they won't be recognized. Perhaps this would be a good deal if the harddrive could be used for future PS2 games (FFXI anyone?) but the webpage explicitly says it cannot be used for PS2 games. And I have to buy another $30 memory card? Sony's just trying to sucker in Linux enthusiasts to hand over some cash. Bad deal!
