Toshiba HDTV Offers Integrated Cell CPU

I thought the PS3 had 6 co processors, not 8...

.....and have money left over for a surround HDTV setup, a small boat, or a nice car with just a couple years on it, etc. $11,175 is a lot to pay for such a thing, factor in tax as well and wow. Toshiba may not be worried about the price tag, but I bid them good luck in finding many consumers with $12k just laying around for just an HDTV/DVR. They do realize there is a global recession and the value of yen is way overinflated (bringing about horrible exchange rates for the Japanese), right?

its 1 real processor that manages 6(in the ps3) and 7 (in no PS3) math-co processors. They don't have their own useful dedicated memory integers and are actually very limited to their capacities. Come on Tom's Sony is the king of conning people, dont try this crap on your viewrs!

Does it play PS3 games?
Does it play Crysis?
