Yeah it is ugly and the site is atrocious. I'm a big fan of linux, but this one looks like it's dead before it ships.

Developers aren't scared of linux, assuming they can find tool kits to help them out (which if I recall correctly, this article mentioned something about open source tool kits).

I used a logitech controller with my ps2 back in the day. I liked it 200% better than the regular ps2 controller (and it was wireless, of course).

Oh yeah, I can see it how this thing is gonna kickstart Linux gaming. Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo are shivering in their boots already.

Big name games? With a user base of 100 people? Which publisher would be stupid enough to do that?

Here's a question for you: who in their right mind would spend 380 bucks on a "next generation" console to play old Amiga games? You wanna play old Amiga games? Go and buy a used Amiga. Or even simpler: download an emulator.

Everything about this is a rip off con job. They're expecting Linux advocates to buy these in some misplaced way to support open source. The stupid thing is people probably will expect it's not supporting open source or linux at all.
