Let's look at the evidence, shall we?
1. Sony released updated drivers for the DVD remote. Excuse me?! If UPDATING DRIVERS isn't a PC thing, then I don't know what is!
2. You can buy LINUX for your PS2. This is just beyond belief. You can buy:
Linux (for PlayStation 2) version 1.0 software
Monitor Cable Adaptor
Internal Hard Disc Drive (40 GB)
Network Adaptor (Ethernet) [10/100 Base-T]
USB Keyboard & USB Mouse (for PlayStation 2)
Check out: http://www.us.playstation.com /product_detail/product_detail.jhtml?PRODID =337933&CATID=490 (SPACE!)
if you don't believe me.
Which console is nearest to a PC now, eh?
:-D

errr..... Amiga?

The XBOX. But even that isn't as near as most people think.
I dunno what all the fuss is about...PC's are bloody expensive, if the XBOX was just a PC in a box I wouldn't be annoyed at all...

Erm, Xbox, actually.

I know, I just felt like starting an argument, hasn't quite worked yet though. :-(
You downloaded that music yet?
What I tell customers. :D
On another note:
The Xbox is a PC. It has an x86 architecture, like the Dreamcast.
Secondly, you can get Linux for your Xbox. Check the Linux-on-Xbox project. http://xbox-linux.sourceforge.net/ . There's also Linux available for the Dreamcast, yet it's fairly useless.
So ha.

Heh. Except you're more wrong than you could possible imagine.

Do I care?
No. They listen and it makes sense to them.
