20 Gig Playstation 3 Discontinued?
Sun, 2007-03-04 22:37 — mikeThis dude at Gamedrift seems to think so.
You can save some money by buying the 20 gig version, and just swapping the hard drive with a bigger one. eh too bad they are no longer making these.

Larger Hard drive on the PS3 - HDD Mod
Tue, 2007-01-09 15:07 — mike"If you're like me, my 60GB PS3 does not have the storage capacity that I require. I am running Yellow Dog Linux and I'm going to need more room on the HD for installs and files that I want locally. That little 10GB partition the PS3 XMB is using is going quick; all those demos and videos that the Sony store is dumping is really beginning to add up. Not only that, what about my music and PS1 downloads for the PSP."

Xbox 360 controller can be used instead of the Sixaxis
Tue, 2007-01-09 15:03 — mikeSomeone else has hacked up their system and got the "almighty" 360 controller working on it. If you've got Linux on your PS3, you can most certainly use the wired version of the 360 controller. Its functionality has been tested with snes9x (an emulation program that kicks bum) and Doom and passes with flying colors.
If you want to install the driver onto your PS3, the install file is here.

$19,000 Worth of PS3s Stolen from UPS — By Employees
Mon, 2006-12-25 16:25 — mikeA trio of UPS employees have been arrested for stealing more than $19,000 worth of the systems from the delivery companys Elmwood distribution center, according to Jefferson Parish Sheriffs Office incident and arrest reports. Sean Weber, 25, of Harvey, Norbert Joseph, 37, of Picayune, Miss., and Jasel Bolden, 29, of Gretna were booked with theft valued at more than $500.
The men worked nights at UPS and shipped at least 20 of the PlayStation 3 units and 24 wireless video game controllers to their day job at Andrews Sport Company Inc. in Jefferson, using pilfered mailing labels, the arrest report said.
Nicely done, except that the total worth of all of those PS3's is somewhere around 100$... i don't think anyone wants a PS3 anymore.
