If I want a PS3 I'll pick one up in Japan made custom to take english games or even better order it although, I was thinking on buying their PS3 consoles for cheap yen in Japan and then selling them here for big bucks, after all isn't that the way the americans made their economy?
Why do you need to customise it for English games?
Two points:
- Where games are concerned, the console AND all the games are region free
- They're on Blu-Ray discs so the developer can stick all languages on the one disc and still have space to work out Pi to 32 million places.
If you actually read the article, you'll notice that it shows the XP startup screen, which would imply that they are using a PC emulator to run real XP software, whereas wine only emulates the Windows environment. Really, for XP to be usefull on the PS3, they have to, since noone compiles Windows software for the Cell Broadband Engine.
It's nothing like wine. Wine is a layer to make Windows apps work as part of X. What they are doing is like Virtual PC, which emulates the processor and BIOS.
