Recent reports suggest that Sony will utilise open-source graphics development environment for the Playstation3…
A recent Japanese article featured on ITMedia today highlighted the possibility of Sony utilising the OpenGL API for the forthcoming Playstation3.
Harking back to a report on EETimes, itâ??s claimed that Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) have become one of nine members of the Khronos Group consortium (focused on the creation of open standard, royalty-free APIs to enable the authoring and playback of dynamic media on a wide variety of platforms and devices) with the intention of using the standardised API throughout its future products.
To date Sony has used proprietary APIs that have changed with each generation; however a standard API would seem to make sense, considering that the CELL processor is likely to feature across a wide selection of products and future Playstation models.
The move would also likely please developers whoâ??ve found developing on the highly specialised Playstation2 taxing to say the least; whilst many have labelled it as a reactive decision to Microsoftâ??s plans to create XNA â?“ a unified graphics development environment that allows developers to easily create games for the PC and Xbox products.
Naturally this is speculation at this stage, with no official announcement yet to come from Sony; however this is certainly an interesting development in the next-gen conflict and weâ??ll have more information soon.

but people have come to accept the rrod its been happening for years now unlike the yellow light of death thats not because of unreliable parts but due to a firmware update, is this an indication that sony had tried to overclock the ps3 and may have had a stable overclock but releasing a firmware update with the overclock included may have caused the trapped gas in the circuit boards.

Actually we can still complain about the RROD because the xbox has a 54 percent failure rate compared to the PS3's 14.7
OFF Topic: MAG will be pwnage

good point, but who's to say the complaints wont keep coming in? could easily be a majour fault in the system.
but i aint gettin called a fanboy again so ill stick with ur comment =) lets just hope sony can address the problem like microsoft did with the enw motherboards they were using

It's really a low failure rate when compared to Xbox's 45% failure rate in the earlier generations of systems.
A .5% deficiant rate is quite low and seems an acceptable rate for any product. It seems that if Sony can compensate these very few failures with replacement systems ect. then this would be a very small problem.
