Now you've got more reason to be a proud owner of PS3. Beside being the first platform to support Folding@home and the best BR player out in the market right now, PS3's getting much broader recognition in the academic and research field. Univ. of Massachusetts Dartmouth will be linking up 16 PS3s to simulate black hole collusion, and US Air Force will be purchasing whooping 300 units for "technology assessment."

Madness? This is PS3.

=========

On the side note, anybody thinking Air Force would be buying 300 HDTVs for "assessment" as well?

I sold my 360 and games without a second thought the moment I really looked at all the PS3 has to offer. I sold 20 games and the console within a week, and bought the PS3 and some games that Friday. How sweet it is.

Yep it seems that researchers love the ps3's price and processing power for heavy duting computing needs. It looks good for Sony's public images and shows you just how powerful the system really is so that you think damn if this thing can cure cancer then i wonder what it could do for games

If you meant about putting linux on, yeah that had been done, even with xbox. When's the last time you see academic unit or government buying game console for "powering" research though.
