Of course it's cheaper to buy a PS3 sold at a loss than to buy an expensive IBM system with the Cell on it.

Where did they find 2,200 fat PS3s though? Unless they have a way to run Linux on the slims...

Stupid enough to post 6 week old news.

Intelligent enough to work out how to get his owned console tag to appear below his name.

I smell a conspiracy ;)
