If you used Linux on PS3 you could get a pay out from a recent lawsuit.
Sony advertised that the PS3 could support "other Os" which consisted of Linux being installed on the console.

The creative team behind Red Dog is reuniting for Blue Dog, an origin story which will serve as a stand-alone film and form part of the franchise that will continue with Yellow Dog.
The canine caper was one of two features, TV drama Glitch and nine multi-platform projects that secured the final round of funding from Screen Australia in the current financial year.
The other film is Downriver, a mystery inspired by real events that will mark the feature directing debut of writer- director Grant Scicluna.
Screen Australia is investing more than $4.5 million in these 12 projects, triggering production worth more than $25 million.
