"Videogames are still toys, eh?"

[ClaudeLv250]

As if Folding@home wasn't enough, the next time you hear someone belittling videogame consoles such as the PlayStation 3, and even the Nintendo Wii, feel free to share this enlightening news bit. The New Scientists reports that researchers, chemists, physicists, among other scientists all around the world are using the PlayStation 3 as a means of simulating various events - be it intergalactic or pharmaceutical.

I'd rather my PS3 play video games than save the world.

I'd also not like surgeons to practice Trauma Center on me.
