Unless they are getting a full PS3 dev kit to use full system resources. Or a PS3 with no hypervisor!

I guess it's cheaper to buy some PS3s if they just want to do some small experiments with the Cell. If it was something serious, they'd surely have the budget (and motivation) to buy the Cell directly from IBM.
