If i'm not mistaken then the PS2 currently runs at 200MHz which is no where near current silcon threshholds! The apple G4 is now up to 1Ghz of 128bit power, by the time they come to makeing the PS3 haveing 2Ghz Risk processors should be easly possible build a system with 2 ro 4 of these controlling different aspectes of the console, and ok you might not get a 1000 fold increase on power, but you will have something very substantial. The distibuted idea will just destroy the part of the point of haveing a console, which in my mind is to have something stand alone that you can just take home insert a game and stat playing...
does this not just strengthen the fact that M$ suck big time. How cares if Sony were letting people play the console. As other people have mentioned it's a dumb rule anyway. It's not like people can't playtest the console in the shops anyway so why bother stoppoing them at the show. It's just M$ being evil B******S as per usal!!!
