this isnt news, they've been buying ps3's for the cell since the ps3 was launched, now that they're cheaper there buying some more, i'm sure they have already bought way more than 300, because they can't buy the cell individually they have to buy the ps3's and take the chip out, ive seen almost 100 empty ps3's in storage areas in an air force research lab where i worked, it has nothing to do with military, its research, i hope you know the laser disc was invented in an air force research lab
No, they would have to ask Toshiba nowdays, but toshiba works for "the other side". (U know, the asian guys.. they are the new world dominators last thing I heard)
can they just sell me the blue ray drives then? my hd dvd just got strangled by toshiba. you know, if they just want the cell processor, can they at least sell me the drives or something? maybe work out a deal because it'd be such a waste to take out the cell, and just throw away the rest. what a pity. what a pity. please have pity on those that have seen the wrongs they have commited in buying hd-dvd...

actually i think it was that they are available but cheaper to buy ps3's than individual cell processors

They take the individual chip out or the whole motherboard? How do they make them work? What do they put them on?

Wouldn't it just be cheaper to make a deal with Sony/IBM to provide the chips directly?
