Alen, re: Sony neatly avoided MSFT by adopting Linux for their software base. This could indicate something much bigger than a games machine It's my guess that SONY will not stop at the games platform, step II will be fully fledged PC.

You should look into the above further. I have posted news and my thinking on the ending of the PC era. I have posted news releases from SONY on the DELL thread. In short, SONY is plaining a home server, with storage to download music and movies to. They have also developed their own software to run this system. Sony already sells a PC, they do not make any money at it, they plan to by pass the PC era and go for the next, which will be dominated by broadband and wireless devices to access the net.
