/blog/2007/04/ps3-super-computing-grid/ We're not PlayStation but we sometimes get to speak to them Mon, 19 Mar 2018 10:49:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 /blog/2007/04/ps3-super-computing-grid/comment-page-1/#comment-13371 VicePK Tue, 17 Apr 2007 14:46:21 +0000 /blog/?p=383#comment-13371 I think that Folding is a lot of potential. However, I would much rather see Sony concentrating on more games. It does get me worried when I see the xbox 360 actively pursue the online market by now connecting xbox live users with pc users. This is huge and a tremendous lot of potential. Home has a lot of potential but as far as reaching a user base is concerned, the xbox is doing just that. I am a fan of the Playstation, i do own a PS3 and don't own an XBOX and I think that folding is an amazing idea especially if you could send me a 30$ check every month. If not gaming content (good gaming content please) would be very good too. However could you PLEASE, PLEASE make online games more enjoyable and get some more RPG's out there. OK i know i'm demanding because it's only been since november but yeah. I think that Folding is a lot of potential. However, I would much rather see Sony concentrating on more games.

Or is that too unworthy a cause? :-) How about an option that I can use my PS3’s dispributed processing on my own local computer? Or is that too unworthy a cause?

If they do it, it'll be historical, a first for a gaming console. Sony would have tons of users lined up for this. If they do it, it’ll be historical, a first for a gaming console.

However- I would be concerned that this would effect things like Folding At Home which is something that I think is well worth taking in part in. It would be a shame if people stopped helping that project because they were being paid to take part in another more commercial one.

As far as compensation, I think the items listed in the artcle are about righ. Howwever, these would have to be written so that once you turn them on they are a "very well behaved" application. Getting out of the way when I want to do anything else. Taking over when the system is idel. That's one problem with F@H, you have to start it each time in order for it to run.
