[ydl-gen] No video hardware acceleration on PS3

[Warren Nagourney]

Well, the lack of 2D and 3D graphics acceleration has been confirmed  
on the YDL website (I think recently - I don't remember its being in  
the FAQ earlier). I think this situation is laughable - why would  
anyone spend this money on a machine with such lame graphics? For  
this price, one can get a fully functional PC with a supported  
graphics card (something I would do if I didn't have strong  
objections to X86).  I have no interest in games, so I think I will  
give the PS3 a miss. The Cell processor is quite interesting and I  
will continue to use my fully functional powerbook in OS X until a  
well supported Cell machine becomes available (if ever).
