The Cell is an untapped potential; used correctly will be able to do some pretty amazing stuff.

As most devs are not familar with this new tech, PS3 owners get shoddy ports. (ex. F.E.A.R.)

"We'll toss the dice however they fall,
And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
