Folding at home allows Stanfords research team to use the processing power of you ps3 (all 2.18 teraflops) to research diseases such as cancer. Many people say the price is expensive to keep your ps3 on but in my area it cause around 4 dollars a month to leave it on 24/7. I think it is worth it if it has any chance of helping.Oh yeah, I'm definitely picking up a mic and Resistance when I get the PS3. Though, I won't be getting many other games this year, as having a 360 AND a PS3 is very taxing on my wallet. Honestly, as of right now, I only see myself getting Resistance and MGS4 whenever that comes out.
EDIT: I forgot to ask, what's this Folding@Home thing?

[QUOTE="schaotix"]Okay, so I've seriously been deciding on whether to get a PS3 or not, and I have a couple questions about it.
1) Does it freeze often? I have a 360, and the amount of freezing and hardware failures for it really upset me.
2) Does it lag a lot? By this, I mean when you're browsing through your friends list, does it chug through the names at a slow pace?
3) I've heard that the PS3 is much quieter than the 360. Is this true?
Thanks guys!

1.) So far I've not had any crashes or lockups, even on BC stuff. Had mine since UK launch.
2.) Npe it doesn't lag much.
3.) No it IS noisy when the larger fan cuts in, it's silent until it starts to do something taxing...then the fan ramps up even more when it really gets going :) So it;s only quieter than 360 when ur just browsing the menus sry :(

I knew the fan had diffent speeds but mine has never gone beyond the lowest. I have played motorstorm and RFOM for many hours straight and I usualy turn on Folding@Home on at night. What did you do to get the fan to ramp up?
P.S. If you buy a PS3 buy a bluetooth headset and motorstorm and Resistance Fall of Man you wont be dissapointed!
