[Chicken-users] anyone have a Playstation 3 ?

[Brandon J. Van Every]

I'm thinking of porting Chicken to the IBM Cell architecture.  Anyone 
gotten their hands on a Sony PlayStation3 yet?  Likely, I won't be able 
to afford one until sometime in March.  And if that's how it goes, I'll 
be terribly busy gathering signatures until early July, with no time to 
work on development stuff.  So I'm wondering if anyone on this list has 
been fortunate / aggressive enough to obtain a PS3 already.  The IBM 
Cell SDK has a simulator, and it should allow for cross compilation.  
I'd need someone with a PS3 to verify that the build actually 
cross-compiles.

Alternately, if anyone has access to a IBM BladeCenter QS20

or a Mercury Cell Accelerator Board

those could work.  But given the expense, I imagine those are longshots.

How about a Toshiba HDTV and a hammer?  Although that might be future 
looking.
