As long as it can run in the background and still allow the PS3 to perform low-resource tasks such as playing movies and music, then it will have some reasonable degree of usefulness. But let's face it, PS3 is still primarily a games console, and most people will use it for playing games. Software such as this will, most likely, not be able to run concurrently with PS3 games (apart from maybe the low spec downloadable ones), and therefore will never see as much runtime as it possibly could. Also, I wonder if SETI will get in on the act and release a PS3 client? There is obviously massive potential in people's PS3s for distributing computing, and I'm sure they'd like a piece of that cake.

I don't mind saving lives......who wouldn't. Sounds great...now they just need to make the software available. I’m actually interested in using this software on my PS3.
