You're right there are other uses, but is that business anywhere near the volume for the PS3?

I do think it's interesting they would hand over production of such a vital component to the biggest backer of HD-DVD. I guess business makes for strange bedfellows.

Sale not hand over.

And Toshiba helped design the Cell for Sonys PS3 the biggets backer of Br, for all your little stock opinions you really dont know how business works.

 hus, that is so obvious to anybody's been on this forum for more than 2 days.  in addition, why would he think that it's interesting if he doesn't know that as a background?  and "sale not hand over"?  when was the last time any business gave anything away for free?  of course it's assumed, and one shouldn't need to spell it out.

 that aside, this is old news.  sony has been thinking of doing that since the ps3 launched, and good business decision at that.  leave it to the specialists--IBM in particular--to make the cell a profitable business enterprise.

anyway, won't be news until the sale is finalized.  sony seriously has way too many subsidiaries it should be getting rid of; indeed, many people think sony would be worth more if it's broken up.
