You can already do all that...for 3 years now.
The fact is, Sony decided to stop wasting dev time and money supporting Linux functions few, if any outside security & research facilities used.
It just didn't make sense to update hardware drivers & rigorously test their Hypervisor security for the fraction of a fraction of a percent that used Linux...
I was surprised to see the option built in from launch but when it turned out OtherOS/Linux didn't...
Every version prior to the latest $299 models support any kind of 'homebrew' and emulators you wanted...through Linux.
Did you use it? Ever?
'Install OtherOS' was built in out of the box for 3 years.
Few used the feature, which supported full OS functions, whatever emulators you liked, full browser & office apps, including keyboards, mice, etc.
Even if Z-Back is true, this just supports piracy & hacking...we already had all the homebrew we...
... Heavens to Murgatroyd!
But they've had all this time to release accurate specific failure rates. They actually knew them before launch, just as they know them now.
The question is why parade around a 500 unit sample, out of more than 30 MILLION?
I hope the reliability figures have improved but the transparently manufactured 'facts' are still just as bad as they ever where.
Example:
For 2 years I've run a console repair service with a flat-rate $100 repair fee. We cover everything outside Microsoft's warranty.
I can factually state that for 3 years no one has ever sent in even a single unit for repair that had suffered a Red Ring or E-74 error!
This must be directly related to the hardware improvements and new revisions because we don't get any units for these issues at all! *
* See my point...of manufacturing number...
It's covered by a three year warranty...why would SquareTrade see any of the 2007, 2008 or 2009 models with this failure?
Where are the polling details? 500 New units purchased by SquareTrade or some third party? Actively used or sitting on a shelf, or a distributors warehouse?
This is as misleading as the Yellow Light Of Death sweeping the PS3 community. Microsoft & Sony both know these numbers, to the console. Sony immediately provided facts for theirs...fewer ...
I'm just not going to.

"...you can't believe everything you read on the Internet...
Otherwise, I'd be a Nigerian Millionaire by now."
Nigeria complained and Sony changed the ad (and cleverly got extra free advertising over the 'controversy' then changed it. Wink. Wink.)
Even though the ad was changed, I still never got that 41 million dollar check from the Royal Nigerian Bank.
I also hate "fanboy's" so much so I call them "Fanbrats" because I've yet to see one that doesn't end up whining like a little spoiled brat.

Graphics - Gameplay - Story - Innovation
Too often if your competitor's game is at 700p and your's 720p, suddenly, those 20x extra pixels are all the world.
TEST IT:
We've secretly replaced these consoles with Folger's Crystals.
Can YOU tell the difference?
Any TRUE 'fan' can immediately tell Console A has 22 more crystals than Console B!
Ask any of these 'fans'...if graphics really didn't matter...why did they buy a NextGen syst...
It really couldn't be used for games or the 20-30-million existing owners would be left out.
It would seem to compete with the push Microsoft is making to 1080P streaming & downloads.
It would present more of a negative comparison against the value of competing consoles:
$199 - 360
$150 - add-on HD
$100 - Wi-Fi
$100 - Blu-Ray
-----------------
$550 or $500 Elite+Wi-Fi+Blu-Ray
(Or $400 Elite+Blu-Ray - no Wi-Fi)
I'm also interested in trying this, just for the same convenience that makes Cable's On-Demand...well...convenient.
I'm actually upgrading to Fios, used with digital video services like Verizon's & ATT's Uverse...that can also provide 2 HD-streams or 4 SD streams over just a 3 mbit connection. It would not surprise me that the quality of this new streaming is pretty good, but like anything, I'll reserve judgement for my own eyes & testing.

Your question about comparing GT3 & GT4 in fact really proves the validity of comparing Forza 3 & 2! Yes...I would & I have compared the two GTs. Now I'm comparing Forza.
