So the US tax payers almost paid for videogames for the guys in the army.. hmmmm... I wouldn't be too happy with that if I paid taxes in the US...

It was probably going to be something off a inter-connected computer kind of like what the AirForce is doing w/ the PS3s, and for that, you would basically keep them on 24/7 .

inter connected computer.... ah you mean a lan party halo 3:

well, the air force is using the PS3's as a supercomputer for radar or modeling of forces movements or for the weather or what have you.  I thought that the army would need something similar....
