Could Sony offer a cluster computer version of the PS3 to industry at a higher price that still undercuts the typical network server?
The fact the PS3s could be clustered to compete with supercomputers could have been a real PR coup. After all, IBM spends a fortune to stay on the top of the supercomputer heap, purely for PR (OK, and some research) reasons.
Itstead, Sony has killed it. Not a good move...
I have already left comments at Sony’s support ticketing system of how much of a bone head move this is. With the price dropping in PCs and the hardware leaping ahead of consoles, the is becoming little if any incentive to go with a separate game console. And now they pull this move.
Not very endearing to the customer base.
As far as I know, linux was used to hack the ps3’s firmware, and that is why it is being removed.
I just updated to the version about 10 minutes ago.
Now my nephew cannot get into the Playstation store to look for demos.
All my settings seem ok.
It is telling my that i’m living in an usupported country, except that i’m actually outside of Boston.
