Is PS3 really being sold at a correct market price? Or is Sony selling 
it at zero-profit or even lower-than-cost just to profit with the game 
industry or even just to smash any possible blu-ray competitor (as they 
just did) and define the new standard?

Is PS3s have such a great cost-benefit we should check out the financial 
math. It seems to me that one of these things must be true, please 
correct me if I'm wrong:

1. some breakthrough on hardware production made by sony that incredibly 
reduces cost (that will be available to other platforms eventually)
2. machines are being sold with money injection in order to fit Sony's 
agenda. If that's true, I wonder if PS3's price tag will keep the same 
if people start buying it for uses that doesn't fit Sony's plans.

About GPU processing, I heard some good time ago about GPUs being used 
by softwares as 3dStudio or Maya in rendering process... anyone knows 
about it?

Anyway, the biggest PS3 cluster won't even scratch my Storm botnet. I 
can stitch a 100 gigapanos per second at 5% power... LOL
