 Re: wy cant i use msn on ps3???? Keep in mind that MSN is a Microsoft product.  Anyway, he is right- the only way you could have the MSN Messenger on the PS3 is to be running Linux (of course, this makes you unable to play the PS3 games until you exit back out of linux, which cuts off the msn). |

| Re: wy cant i use msn on ps3???? The official version of Linux for the PS3 is called Yellow Dog Linux 6.0. I suggest you read up on it at the official site of its creators, TerraSoft Solutions. You'll find all the details about how/ where to get it, how to prep for the install and full instructions as well as troubleshooting tips for certain aspects of the system after the install. I also caution about doing this if not familiar with Linux first- doing things in it requires doing some extra details yourself that is usually handled by Windows in the background on the PC. Definitely read up about it before you make the plunge (I can say this from experience after messing up a dual boot on my older PC). |

| Re: wy cant i use msn on ps3???? You don't have to remove the program to play games, i think you would just need to exit the Linux program. No need to keep removing and installing it. Wouldn't it be easier to just get MSN on your PC, micky.... |
