Did you even read his post? It explains why he bought it in there. He did not get tax breaks for it, sony got less taxes on each machine by saying it was a computer in the EU (i'm not from the eu, but I assume it has to do with the VAT, which is similar to sales tax in the us i believe). Reread maybe?

Yes, I did read it.  He said he bought it with the intention that it's primary purpose would be as a business computer.  I can't remember ever seeing Sony advertising the PS3 as a business machine, or even implying it.  And yes, he will get tax breaks for it as it'll be claimed on accounts as an asset, so deducting it's depreciation from the profits in the current or following year.

In regards to Sony getting the PS3 classified as a computer in the EU (like a lot of companies do (thus saving them on taxes and lowering the cost to the consumer)), it doesn't make it so.

Clearly you didn't as it was intended for both business and personal use as both a media centre pc and a gaming console. There was no one or the other. A high def gaming console was always a possible consideration for us- it was the fact that it would do both things at half the price of a media pc which is the reason why we chose the PS3. Now are you going to approach this intelligently or are you going to continue cherry picking like a blind little Sony apologist.
