"3. Available from the public mirrors -- Monday, March 3, 2008." says it all

Vitalogy6301d ago

This is a bunch of crap. Linux is more like windows now, i mean, if you want a copy you pay for it.

I was looking at terrasoft website and i saw YDL 6.0 for sale with a 6 months license. what the hell is that, linux wasn't supposed to be free!?

All the advertising agains the monopoly of M$ and Win and after all, linux are getting the same way.

What's next? Shut down the Open Office and price it!?

Think about it guys!

mighty_douche6301d ago

did you read, its avaliable from the 3 of march free.

Terrasoft charge not for linux itself but for the 6 months SUPPORT they give you with it, they also supply it on a DVD with all the paperwork to go along with it. You epect them to give you all of that for nothing???

Kain816301d ago

will come Pre-installed in all PS3s that awesome news.
i hope they making it for PSP too.

Guys i heard a rumor that Divx will come on PSP too is that true?

Ju6301d ago (Edited 6301d ago )

I think they mean pre-installed if you buy a PS3 thru TerraSoft.

They should package the DVD and distribute it thru the game channels to reach a wider audience.

ELite_Ghost6300d ago

DivX already came out for psp

Vitalogy6301d ago

Awesome news were if sony put YDL on PSN to download FOR FREE and not like terrasoft has on his website, buying ydl 6.0 with 6 months license.

Linux wasn't supposed to be free?

Most of the PS3 users don't really care about another OS on their PS3, but some would like to try it out just to see how it works or just for simply curiosity.

Bebedora6301d ago

Of course you can download YDL for free - from their website. You can click yourself to a mirror site with the proper iso:s to download.

What you buy is support and possibly shipping of media. It is optional.

prunchess6301d ago

I won't be installing this untill they start supporting and running the wi-fi on the ps3.

mighty_douche6301d ago

Thats a fair comment!

Personally im still waiting for sony to allow them to use both the RSX and SPU's (Cell). But i dont see either happening anytime soon.

Wi-Fi would be really handy though!

Bebedora6301d ago

The spu:s are programmable as of the release of the PS3. libspe and now libspe2 is possible to use. The RSX will probably never happend though. I can only see a possible jump in gfx with help of the spe:s.

Status of wi-fi I don't know much about though.

Ju6300d ago

What's the problem with WiFi ? It works since YDL 5. Same with the SPUs. It comes with the latest CELL SDK 3.0, full SPU gcc compilers included.

Interesting is, that they have DualShock controller support now. I am curious if this is thru blue tooth or USB, though. I am also curious, if blue tooth mouse/kb now works without a hazel.

Gotta try that out next week. And I also hope I can boot it thru petitboot.

Why Dark Souls 2 Deserves a Second Chance in 2025

As difficult and frustrating as it is, people should consider reliving the Dark Souls 2 experience, especially because of what's coming to the game.

Many of those who hate Dark Souls II hate it because it's not Dark Souls. The same people love Dark Souls III because it isn't Dark Souls II.

And so many of the issues at the centre of common complaints about DS2 are present in DS3 and sometimes even DS1. The hatred and bile spewed over this perfectly decent game is ludicrous.

CrimsonWing691d 14h ago

I don’t think it’s a terrible game, but like a movie sequel by a different director, for me, it does NOT capture any of the “magic” felt from the Miyazaki entries. Boss battles don’t feel epic, environments don’t have the same sense of awe, the enemy variety isn’t particularly interesting, the art direction just feels bland, about the only thing I can give it praise for is some of the music.

Now, again, this is only how I feel about it, so I’m not trying to invalidate his you feel about the game, but it is the worst entry in the series due to those factors and it’s the least re-visited entry, for me.

Is it decent as a game on its own? Sure. But in comparison to the Miyazaki entries, it does not stack up and I believe that’s where many were disappointed with it.

PrimeVinister1d 11h ago

Completely fair. I cannot disagree either, mate.

MrWood1d 13h ago (Edited 1d 13h ago )

You can also play it in VR flawlessly on PC & controller with the LukeRoss mod so… another reason to jump back in with extra immersion.

jznrpg1d 13h ago

It’s not a bad game it’s just not as good as the others

Shadow Man1d ago

The controls felt very clunky to me, I tried playing it after beating Darksouls 3 and it didn’t feel fluid, obviously the hit detection is less superior for been an older game.

Best skateboarding game ever made

Yi-Long1d 6h ago

Agreed. Skate 3, Def Jam FFNY, Black, Burnout 3, NBA Street v3, TimeSplitters FP, SSX3, Mirror’s Edge, etc etc. Fantastic era, and after that EA just dropped off completely.

How Sony Fixed Their PS3 Launch Mistakes

This is the story of how the creators of the all-time best selling console almost crippled its own successor’s early life.

They retired Ken Kutaragi, moved away from overly expensive custom hardware, and went with more traditional hardware available to the market and listened to developer needs.

Profchaos1d 9h ago

It's true but also PlayStation publicly came out and stated third party wasn't important to them.

ironic that what worked for them the previous generation caused them significant pain in the subsequent one.

The PS2 was actually a significant challenge to develop for far worse than the PS1 ever was but the competition at the time was struggling so much they couldn't make up the ground Dreamcast had a stigma of being a last gen console by the time the PS2 came around and looked inferior compared to games like grab Turismo 3, the GameCube and Xbox were still a ways away and PlayStation had the reputation as being the place to play it was a perfect storm for them and the GTA games not coming to Dreamcast and Sony's embrace really helped.

Third party basically drove PlayStation yi success over more capable consoles Xbox may have looked better at the time but it didn't have GTA 3, vc, Sa or the stories games the mainline entries didn't hit the Xbox until many years after being on PlayStation.

Then the PS3 with it's cell architecture ramped it up again and just hurt Devs they didn't focus on the GPU as much as they should have and they didn't realise their deals they made with IBM could have resulted in the cell architecture being shared with Microsoft which it was and it did help them develop the 360

But really the 90s and 2000s were a wild time for game consoles now it's a little boring it's all off the shelf components and everything is mostly the same

gunnerforlife1d 11h ago

After losing so many 3rd party exclusives, they buckled down and concentrated on amazing first party games! God of war 3, Killzone 2, resistance, uncharted, the last of us, MgS4, little big planet, demon souls and so many more games!! They won the gamers back by playing smart! Even though the media and all big gaming websites from ign, gamespot, kotaku etc were all against it!! I had fun with ps2, but it's ps3 where I really grew up and had the time of my life.

BlackCountryBob1d 1h ago

It’s weird to look back on how even today the games media narrative was stuck in 2006 to say it was overpriced and had no games which was outsold by 360 (all incorrect).

In many ways, it’s similar to how the Xbox One was never really able to move past the launch even though after a year or so it was an entirely different proposition (but Microsoft didn’t do nearly as good a job as Sony did to recover IMO).

gunnerforlife7h ago

I'm glad it received the hate from western media! It humbled them quite a lot and forced them to buckle down and concentrate where it mattered most! Games games games!! And they learned a lot from their mistakes with ps3 and they made one of the greatest consoles ever in ps4!!

So true! Where Sony realised their mistakes and corrected everything, MS were either too arrogant to change course or just didn't have the tools/capabilities to correct course and get back to basics! Games games games! Which is sad because with no rival, Sony this generation has stagnated a lot!! This generation is a write off in my books!!!

OhReginald20h ago

I was committed to that whole generation. What turned Ps3 around from being a failure to a success was in 2009 with the releases of the first ps3 slim model with a cheaper price tag, the kevin butler marketing campaign, and a ton of 1st party AAA games that were critically acclaimed and loved by the fans like Uncharted 2 (this was a bigger deal than the first game), Killzone 2 (91 on metacritic), inFamous, LittleBigPlanet (a serious threat to mario at the time), Demon's Souls( it was very niche but the word of mouth and gamespots goty award helped it and helped ps3). The big game everyone that bought a ps3 was waiting for was mgs4 in 2008 and GT5 in 2010. Anyways I think the ps3 was way ahead of its time with the games I mentioned above and breakout hits like the last of us.
