PS2 helped in weapon tests and PS3 is black holes study didn't they? Now it's just wait to see what the PS4 will help as well xD Good guy PlayStation always lending a helping hand er... dont you mean IBM? its an IBM chip that sony just happened to use. Its nothing to do with Sony. Are you talking about the Cell? Because as far as I know it was a cooperate development by Sony, Toshiba and IBM. It was a whole lot to do with Sony. Im talking about the ps1 chip. obviously. this thread is about the ps1 chip.

The CPU is from MIPS which named their processors like the company. The Mips processors still exist today but in the 90s were found in workstations, mainly on the ones MIPS themselves sold.

I have an SGI Indy at home, a workstation with an opengl card. And an operating system (IRIX) that featured scalable (vector) icons - in the 90s ;)

Either way, Sony took the MIPS road exactly like Nintendo did while they chose 64 Bit and Sony 32 Bit Mips processors.

So the rumors about Playstation 2 launching nuclear missiles has some truth to it?

So the truth comes out...

NASA's budget is equivalent to that of a 90's core gamer. >_>

Galactically fantastic, PlayStation is the the gaming ambassador to the universe!

Hahaha, yeah, i remember this. That was a good one back then

It is also cheap too, because NASA gets dirt funding nowadays.

Can't wait for them to discover that it'll not a planet at all, it's a intergalactic gateway.

well, it's not a planet, that much is true

Let's hope they don't have to turn it upside down half way there.

Explore the great wide yonder. Only on playstation
