I am way out of my league here. I know basics, I was able to mod my origional XBOX by myself (with the help of forum members. lol) Butwhat I am about to ask is way over my head.

Is there, or do you think there ever will be a way to pull Sony's downloadable games (flOw) offthe hard drive and then port them to a PC (possibly on a Linux distro)? Then now that XBOX 360 has the XNA Game Studio comming out where you can put your own games on your system, possibly port it to the 360. Obviously this is illegal and I wouldn't even have a clue where to start, but anyone have any ideas on the feesability on this?

I mean this is like asking can I play a nintendo game on the playstation.... Sorry to come off harsh but come on use your head (thats what its there for)

Sorry, from what I understand Linux can't see anything that's on the XMB/Game OS partition.

Ok first of all...F U. I don't need to be talked down to by people who claim to know everything. Talk to me like a person.

Secondly. The reason I asked is I know a lot of the XBOX 360 arcade games are simply Flash games because Hexic was pulled off of a disc that was shipped in a demo disc and made playable on a PC.

I would imagine, a lot of the PS3 games that are basically arcade games like the 360's would be flash games as well. Meaning it might be possible to do this. It would just be a matter of ripping them off a hard drive (i know harder to do than a demo CD.

Ok well I will appologize if I came off harsh but your ideas of the ps3 working the same as the 360 is WAY off... This is a completly different platform with completly different ways of delivering content. So good try but no go...
