Please understand that in my position as PS3-Linux maintainer
I can really only provide users with technical support for
Linux and the LV1 hcall interface.

The text above was provided to me by SCE management.  If
you have any questions regarding it or any other feature
of the PS3 please contact the Playstation Customer Support
in your country.  Using Playstation Customer Support will
insure your inquiry is processed through the correct
channels within SCE.
