(sorry if already posted)

"The PlayStation 3's computing project, Folding@Home, has been recognized by the Guinness World Records as the most powerful distributed network in the world.

"To have PS3 play such a large role in allowing Folding@home to be honored by Guinness World Records is truly incredible," said Masayuki Chatani, CTO at SCE. "This record is clear evidence of the power of PS3 and the contributions that it is making to the Folding@home network, and more importantly, scientific research."

(I know who cares ... thats what 99% of you will say).

See the ps3 is good for something .... right.

Hooray for something that has absolutely no connection with gaming whatsoever. The only way that this could ever affect us gamers is if F@H helped develop a new cure for a disease or cancer that a developer fell victim to but was saved by this new cure. Woo...hoo.

if this thing doesn't have anything to do with console gaming, then why is it in system wars. otherwise, people are just looking for something, if not anything, to justify an expensive console with the least games to play.
