I know before it's release Sony talked about the ability for distributed processing between clustered PS3s and it seems to be working out for this researcher, does anyone think that will ever see this process used in a gaming context?

would be pretty hilarious if they released a game and on the back of the box it says "required: 8 PlayStation 3 consoles."

PS3's save lives, can drive cars, help science, play Blu-ray AND games. The 360 lets you play Halo against loud brats.

OMG that would be too funny...Killzone 2 requires 8 PS3's at once to fully enjoy the graphics...

I don't think this will ever be done because of the lack of profit potential.
