Hello,
I was at my local Costco tonight and noticed they have the 60GB PS3 for
$699. I almost bought one but decided to check a Costco in NH first.

They are $599 at my local Target. So much for bargains at Costco.

$699 gets you one from Terrasoft with Yellow Dog Linux installed.
Mine shipped this afternoon.

Hello,
Looks like Terrasoft was very conservative when they mentioned a time
frame of March or April.
The Costco one is a bundle with an extra wireless controller. Likely a
good deal if you use it for games. I will check out Target and Walmart.
I looked at the Walmart website and it appeared you could only buy
packages that drove the price up to $900 or more.
Is the 20 GB version missing something important for linux/GNURadio use?
Is it possible to put a bigger hard drive in? 20 and 60 GB hard drives
are so last century.

This does not work under PPC Linux on PS3 so far as I can find. I
searched for hours on Sony, YDL, and qj.net (the worlds slowest site)
before giving up and buying a 50 foot gigE capable cable.

Hello,
What are PS3 owners on the list using for video displays? Do I need a
HDMI monitor with HDCP? The info I have says no video out the HDMI port
at all if the monitor does not have HDCP.

Besides the larger disk, the 60GB model adds:

For DVI or HDMI, everything I’ve read says the signal will end up
using HDCP, even when running Linux.
Supposedly the “ps3videomode” command can configure high-resolution
output on the analog component cables. It apparently even has RGB
(instead of YPrPb) settings but I don’t know how you’d wire that up.
I have used a PS3 for games and movies with analog YPrPb at 720p and
1080i, attached to a Dell 2405 flat panel (which does not have HDCP on
its DVI port). I haven’t tried running Linux on it yet.
