Amiga and CELL - What you think about

[billt]

The Cell is not Expensive, considering that the final price of PS3 is about 500 Euro

Consider that console vendors typically take a loss on the hardware, especially right when a new console is released. I saw some report about this that claimed it'd cost about US$800 to manufacture the PS3, with about US$300 loss at retail and hope they make lots and lots of money from game license fees. With that much difference it might be hard to profit, but I don't know where these guys got their $800 estimate from (giant grain of salt anyone?) or what the price of games will look like.

But seriously, if people are willing to pay $750 for a 1.7 GHz G4 processor then what will be the difference if people buy a PS3 instead?

Depends on why a person is buying either. If I want to run OS4, but it doesn't run on PS3, then buying a PS3 may be a complete and total waste of money. One person buying the CPU module to run OS4 gets to use it, the other person buying PS3 leaves it in the box until someone gets OS4 ported to it, forgets abotu the box, gets old and never gets to do anythign on his PS3. Maybe he plays PS3 games on it, but what does that have to do with OS4 at all?

It'd make sense to wait and see if OS4 is ever ported to it first if that is your reason to buy the thing.
