it will not be free and from the looks it will cost 150$ to 200$ or may be even more
n must be some sort of emulation through linux

I've been reading around and can't find anything to suggest it updates/flashes firmware on the BD drive... That being said I remember reading about certain old firmware updates crippling bluray drives, but its nothing that couldn't just be software->drive interface based rather than BD flash flailed or anything like that....

In summary I highly doubt you can flash the bd drive firmware from the hardware included in the PS3.

Linux on 4.11? or you mean the interface of the device runs on linux... that makes more sense.. like the coverflow format on the xbox optical drive emulators.

Question is how much soldering will this require if any, are we talking a straight SATA cable from the BD port on the motherboard to the external SATA port there, this will be nice if it emulates the BD drive but does this not then mean you actually need 2 HDD's as you need one to emulate the BD and one to work as a standard drive meaning you'll end up with a very messy console, how exactly is it swapping images for games does it have some externally controlled interface for selecting games or is it a case of popping the drive in to your PC to rename folders and swap images over in which case it will be annoying as hell, we need more info :P

What if the BD emulator need specific firmware and some dildo to make it work? I'll be ****ed =_='

If this turns out to be trueblue's new product I will go ape-sh!t.

With publishers abusing DLC more than ever this would be a perfect solution. Get the 'base' game for free and buy the $60 worth of cut/locked content. It'll be just like 8 years ago when that amount of money got you a complete game!
