You know Sony doesn't seem very indy developer friendly... is there really any point to supporting their platform with all the effort you have to put towards getting into the console?
It's as if Sony is the new Nintendo of the 90s. :?
Console manufacturers sell consoles with a loss. Therefore, they need to have a monopoly on the software. However, homebrew is a way of software development that doesn't hurt their position, and there is demand for it, not providing a homebrew option increases the interrest people have to crack the protection. Therefore they provide a "crippled" environment where people can experiment as they wish.
For XBox-360, this is XNA, for the Playstation this is a sandboxed Linux. Now, I'm not sure what Sony wants to achieve. Of course if you have full power under Linux, third parties can release software for the PS3 through the Linux option. But this hasn't happened yet, so there should be no reason to block access to the gpu...
As far as cracking game consoles for homebrew, Tweakers.net is reporting the Wii has now been fully hacked (translate with Babelfish):

Time for an FPC port :twisted:

Maybe it's time to break my piggy bank
Well the FPC guys that were on IRC when I first let them know about WiiWare were all excited about the prospect of FPC making games for Wii. I think if you wanted to work your magic on another Nintendo platform, Wii might be the most lucrative.
Perhaps if you get some time to talk to Dom about it you can work out an indie-Pascal SDK pitch to them. They weren't too interested in such a tool for the GBA/NDS, but for Wii... there might be a way to pitch it to them that is a bit more attractive than the last bid he proposed...?
Yeehaw...
I just bought one myself

Welcome to the club. Though I have not even played mine yet as it's a surprise present for my son when he sits some secondary entry exams in the middle of Jan. So I have Resistance and MotoStorm which came with the machine, but I plan to buy Rachet and Clank and Unchart : Drake's fortune next month. What games did you get.Originally Posted by Huehnerschaender
The machine itself came with no game.
I bought "John Woo's: Stranglehold" as a "at least I need a game" buy. I wanted to have Call of Duty 4, Assassins Creed and Uncharted, but ALL of them are sold out at the moment...
Then I went to a "Videothek" where you can rent movies and games and I took Conan, Medal of honour: Airborne and Jericho for two days... still have to check them out a bit more, but the first impression of the graphics is just WOW... so much depth, effects, details.... But as I said, I need to check it out a bit more... at the moment I need to watch TV for one or two more hours because my gf wants to watch a movie but then....... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Bought Burnout Paradise yesterday and this is so freakin' awesome! I have never seen so realistic physics in a game before. All you see in the following video is INGAME graphics. Thats so cool, you just WANT to wreck your car, because it looks so incredible. And online play is soooo much fun, because when you wreck an opponent you get a "mugshot" if he has the playstationEye installed (webcam). I have it and I tend to give them some funny faces when they take me down.... but look at the game in this small video.... I can't wait to get home from work!
