Anyone else notice Sony idea's about how the PS3 would have a networked CPU? Using a network (broadband is the current fastest option), various PS3's could work together. This would provide more processing power, but would it really work like this? Would it work at all? Many people like myself cant get broadband in their area, and may never get it. Lets no forget the cost of broadband as well. Even in area's served by broadband, there must be people who don't get it installed because of installation and/or on going subscription charges every month. I can't see any other form of fast network going nation wide in the next 4-5 years, and even it did, availability would again be an issue (with the exception of satellite technology). If a PS3 could not access other PS3's, what kinda performance would you get compared with PS2 or the existing X-Box? Would a PS3 even work "off-line" using only DVD games?
