Linuxdevices.com features TerraSoft's sale of Sony Playstation 3 pre-installed with Linux:

Linux distributor TerraSoft is accepting pre-orders for Sony Playstation3 gaming devices pre-installed with Linux, alongside the PS3's native gaming OS. Additionally, TerraSoft, IBM, RapidMind, and Vivendi game publisher High moon Studios are offering seminars to help game developers exploit the PS3's Cell architecture.

This is so cool! If not for the price, I'd snag one myself. I wonder if the Wii can be hacked as well. Hmmm...

Why buy a plain vanilla PS3 when you can get Linux with it, right? What are you waiting for? Order one today!

TerraSoft says its Linux-enabled PS3 will come with a DVD, installation guide, sticker, and "flippy" -- presumably a dog toy. The device will have a 60GB hard drive, 256MB of non-expandable Rambus RAM, gigabit Ethernet, WiFi, 4 USB ports, a Blueray DVD player, and HDMI and Sony Multi AV graphics ports. Users must supply a keyboard and mouse, and must purchase separate HDMI or component-to-multi-AV cables in order to connect the device to high-definition displays (the PS3 supports "1080p" output).
