it means through Linux you could be able to run 3D accelerated games in LINUX
thats a good thing....that means if you load a LINUX OS on your playstation 3 just like any reg computer the playstation 3 could get 3D accelerated games for LINUX to be ported to the Playstation 3..more FREEWARE Games for the playstation 3.... . this very well could pave the way for a standard Linux platform for Linux Open Source Game development...thats great for LINUX and the Gamer's everywhere..though with Playstation 3 owners..., getting more free games..yea that's a great thing.

1ST THING IS NOT LIKELY AT ALL..because a "PS3 BLU-RAY DISC DUMP" WOULD most likely fail because of BD+. if you are talking about OFFICIAL PLAYSTATION 3 published games unless it's downloadable games which you would still not be able to access outside of the XMB IE: not in Linux unless its recompiled. but the great thing is you would be able to run games made for LINUX and trust me on this one there is so much freeware linux games you would be quite entertained anyway., so buy the games for the playstation 3 and play the Linux games also its a Win Win..you don't need to rip games. ONE its wrong and 2nd they should be paid for their work since the playstation 3's game and Movies disc's are very scratch resistand there is no real reason to back up the game anymore.
