Did it come with a free rootkit preinstalled?

[–] MDKAOD@lemmy.ml 22 points 5 months ago

Yep. I have the original HDD (somewhere) and the ethernet adapter. For anyone interested, it's two DVD's.

Yeah. They cancelled it after they realized that people were buying consoles to build computing structures which went against Sony’s “sell the console at a loss and make it up in game sales” strategy.

Edit: on wait, that was PS3.

So you could use your console for computing tasks.

It was possible on the PS3, too, until Sony removed it.
