I am thoroughly dissapointed that #1 There is no more Singletrac and #2 that Warhawk has been deemed a MULTIPLAYER ONLY GAME. With the technology available in the PS3, Warhawk shoulda blown everyone's socks off.

Now It just looks like a Battlefield 2 clone.

I feel bad because I bought PS2 hoping for a Warhawk sequel, and then bought PS3 hoping for a Warhawk sequel, only to be dissapointed yet again.

I', looking forward to MGS4 now and a Twisted Metal sequel.]]>Aug 11th 2007 4:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/11/sony-erects-massive-ps3-server-cluster-for-warhawk-mayhem/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/11/sony-erects-massive-ps3-server-cluster-for-warhawk-mayhem/
Doesn't it make more sense to simply use Computers with PS3 compatibility? This thing looks silly.

but i have to ask, why did they use the 60 giggers? they dont need that much hdd space for a server, and they dont need wifi, so i guess they just wanted it to look chromy. i thought that since they stopped selling the 20's, they could put them to good use.]]>Aug 11th 2007 5:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/11/sony-erects-massive-ps3-server-cluster-for-warhawk-mayhem/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/11/sony-erects-massive-ps3-server-cluster-for-warhawk-mayhem/
As for the Wifi, would it make sense to connect Servers via wifi? Seems like alot less wire running around.]]>Aug 11th 2007 5:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/11/sony-erects-massive-ps3-server-cluster-for-warhawk-mayhem/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/11/sony-erects-massive-ps3-server-cluster-for-warhawk-mayhem/Aug 11th 2007 10:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/11/sony-erects-massive-ps3-server-cluster-for-warhawk-mayhem/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/11/sony-erects-massive-ps3-server-cluster-for-warhawk-mayhem/Aug 11th 2007 5:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/11/sony-erects-massive-ps3-server-cluster-for-warhawk-mayhem/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/11/sony-erects-massive-ps3-server-cluster-for-warhawk-mayhem/Aug 12th 2007 12:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/11/sony-erects-massive-ps3-server-cluster-for-warhawk-mayhem/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/11/sony-erects-massive-ps3-server-cluster-for-warhawk-mayhem/Aug 12th 2007 7:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/11/sony-erects-massive-ps3-server-cluster-for-warhawk-mayhem/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/11/sony-erects-massive-ps3-server-cluster-for-warhawk-mayhem/

1) To show off the power and reliability of the PS3. After all if they can survive being used as servers, they can survive every day home use, unlike the 360.
