IIRC it depends on an old PS3 OS version which still allows to run linux 
(at some point Sony removed that support).  AFAIR it was not intended to 
take over the complete control of the PS3.

So you would not only have to get the reare luck of getting a PS3, you 
would need to get one with an very outdated OS.

This are just memories just from a bystanders view, I never had a PS3.

Bye,
Alexander.
