Linux is awesome on the PS3. Sony shouldn't be blamed for allowing it, but they should be blamed for poor design IF it turns out they didn't put enough security into the system to protect content developers, but that remains to be seen.
However, the XBox360 will not be left out of HD game storage. If by holiday season 2007 there are great games that need more than DVD9 space then Microsoft will be able to sell the HD add-on for $100 by then, and they will probably do a game+HDdrive bundle for $150 for the first title that needs it. It will prove their brilliant strategy: release a console a year ahead of the competition and give people a great upgrade to spend their holiday dollars on in 2007.
They are both great consoles. I own neither yet, but PS3 with linux capabilities may beat out the cheaper XBox360+GearsOfWar for my gaming dollars. I have until PS3's are more available to make up my mind.

Exactly, just like the highly successful and widely supported PS2 HDD......
they have said countless times they will not use the HD-DVD add-on for games. just movies. and yea i know its their word, and companies break their word. i still rather though dont see the big deal of using 2 disks if needed to put one game on.
