The recent release of the PS3 Slim brought about joy for those who were waiting for a less expensive/smaller gaming system and indignation for those who were waiting for a Linux experimental machine of the same type as there was no "OtherOS" or Linux option on this model. Why? we cry sadly. Because, the deep, omniscient voices of two Sony representatives boom back.

Research facilities can and I'm sure do use them as cheap clusters.
Indeed, they do.
PS3/CellBE clusters had been quite popular, even before utilizing many GPUs in a server had gotten popular.
My guess is that Sony had been losing their asses on the hardware sales, expecting to make it up in software licensing only to realize large numbers of machines were never being used to play games
Ooh, neat pictures!
