The penguin means fun!
Sony Computer Entertainment America has announced that it’s about to begin to gauge the level of demand for the PlayStation 3 GNU/Linux development kit recently released in Japan.
The kit has been made available in Japan on two separate occasions and sold like a Final Fantasy-themed version of Gran Turismo with Solid Snake as the driver. Both shipments sold out within one hour of going on sale.
SCEA wants to know if Americans are similarly interested. The open source Linux kit will enable hobby coders to bash together PlayStation 2 games and applications of their own, and may open the door to a whole host of new possibilities for the machine.
This could be good news for Europe and especially Britain, a country well known in the gaming world for harbouring many game code fiddlers from back in the days when the 8-Bit computers ruled the Earth.
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe stated that the Linux kit had not been ruled out for any gaming territory, though America would be the first test for demand in the West.
