Ok. I was vouching for Shawn's idea of using the PS3 as it is a modern product 
that is being used for various project today. We can get modern PC desktops
for about <=$299-399 so I don't think getting an modernly affordable PowerPC 
desktop/ workstation/ console should be that much more (if developers/engineers 
have to pay for it "out-of-pocket").

Wishful thinking - not much more than that.
