Ever wondered what happened to all those unsold PS3s?

Constructed by the SCEA IT team, this ginormous PS3 cluster will soon be used to connect Warhawk gamers everywhere

Looks very slick if nothing else :)

It does look better thana bunch of servers in a rack, but I don't get why they've used PS3s instead of bog-standard servers :shrug:

SCEA = Sony. Basically its a sort of press release to show how versatile the PS3 is and keep it in the spotlight. If they made it out of Xeons, I don't think many would have cared :)

I've counted 15 PS3s per rack, 5 racks = 75 PS3s x £425 each = £31,875
