PS3

If you have a PS3 and live in any of OU Housing using OU network, good luck playing online.

My buddy has a PS3 and he lives literally two blocks away from me. Since both of us live in OU housing, we figured that it would be a piece of cake to set up online game against each other. Both of us bought Tekken Online and Puzzle Fighter (the Tetris version of our beloved Street FIghter) and were ready to go.

Well, it didn't work out.

We went to those games' menus, created an online room, invited each other out while we are on the phone but could never connect. He went to my online room but couldn't see my online avatar there (I couldn't see his either). Then he created the room and invited me there but I couldn't see his avatar upon arrival. This process was repeated gazillion times until we realized there's no way we can connect.

So if you live in OU housing, you have a better change playing against other housing tenants by NOT using OU's line.

Dr. Gaurav Khanna is employing his so-called "gravity grid" of PS3s to help measure these theoretical gravity waves -- ripples in space-time that travel at the speed of light -- that Einstein's Theory of Relativity predicted would emerge when such an event takes place.

I got a PS3 myself and that thing is made to perform heavy calculation. Heck, it even has Folder@home software that calculates cells for cancer research. Now, if PS3 has more games to match Xbox360 then it would be all set. This drought is killing me because I can only play Tekken DR Online for so long. I finished Heavenly Sword (which is only about 6 hours long) and the other games are not compelling enough for me to play them, especially Lair.

But what's interesting to me is that according to him, a supercomputer costs $5,000 while 8 60GB PS3 cost $3,200. That means each 60GB PS3 costs $400?
