I have a Question: I've noticed on my PS3 settings that it says "install other OS" well im thinking of buying leopard (new mac OS),from what i learned there is a feature called boot camp and as i've seen what it does and thinking about installing leopard, will i still have my PS3 Operating system? or no....
Got a tip for us?

to back up what psycho said, Mac opperating systems (well the non hacked version) can only be installed on APPLE hardware
now it might be possible to install OSX-86 on the PS3 but i didnt suggest that...
The PS3 is not based on x86 hardware, it has a Cell processor, so that would not be possible. Anyway, Leopard's minimum RAM is 512MB, and the PS3 doesn't have that...
osx-86 is just a linux bootloader, i know you said "Some versions of linux" i didnt know if darwin qualified as part of the "some"
You could probably figure out how to install Darwin, but not OSX.
I'm curious about the XBox 360, which is (I think) PPC based...

Boot Camp is just a wizard and a bunch of drivers to enable you to install Windows XP or Vista on Intel Apple Macs. Nothing else.
You can't do it the other way around and install OS X on a PC (at least not without a lot of hacking, which is nothing to do with Boot Camp).
And installing it on games console is a mammoth and pretty pointless task.
The XBox isn't PPC based, by the way.
The X-Box 360 IS PPC based by the way PowerMac G5's were used to make software for the thing.
I said the XBox, not the 360.
The XBox has a Pentium 3, the 360 has a tricore G5 derirative in it.
