Multiple Operating Systems on the PS-3. By: Brian Crecente

OK, maybe I missed the meeting, but I don’t recall reading or being told that the Playstation 3’s harddrive could a partitioned harddrive with multiple operating systems.

I remember hearing about Linux, but it looks like the PS3 might be open to other operating systems as well.

In a campaign targeting teenagers, the Army announced on Thursday a new version of its “America’s Army” or “AA Special Forces” computer video game, incorporating digital likenesses of eight actual soldiers who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The “America’s Army Real Heroes” program will also include a series of $10 action figures, based on the same real soldiers, in store shelves by Christmas, Wardynski said.

The program comes after the Army fell short on recruiting last year, the first time since 1999.

Wardynski said the Army spends about $2.5 million annually on the free PC game, a first-person shooter in which players go through a simulated boot camp or team up with other real players online in three-dimensional battles.

The PS3 launch is just over a week away, but unfortunately, we’re now hearing announcements of a couple games being delayed/canceled, with two more titles being pushed to 2007 if retailer dates are to be believed.
