It was the PS3, and I don’t believe you had to buy anything. It had “other OS” functionality for effectively dual-booting Linux on it, which they removed partway through it’s lifecycle in a firmware update.
That pretty much kickstarted and supercharged the PS3 hacking scene.
true, btw ps3 was cracked because sony said in a conference that they were going to remove the otherOS support from the ps3, and lost a lawsuit because of that lol
ps4 use freebsd, i think ps5 too
Coundn’t you also buy a Linux live CD that worked on the PS2?

Linux for PlayStation 2 was a thing.

Ps2, ps3 but patched out due to being the cheapest computer
Unofficially ps3, ps4, and switch
Which is what makes the PSVR being linux more interesting imo. You’d think if they’re already invested in BSD they’d use BSD for the headset too.
