PS/3 R&D for free?

This is absolutely fantastic, and truly awesome. I have taken allot of flack from my friends over getting the PS/3. My argument was that, when utilized correctly, the system itself doubles as a cell development platform.

Yes, the system needs some "improvement" as far as the mitigating details on how to install, setup and configure the CELL SDK for the Yellowdog Linux operating system, but Insomniac has put their R&D notes out on the World Wide Web for anybody that wants to have a clue to have one.

Now thus far the only game (of Halo quality) I have seen out for the PS/3 is the Fall of Man series. They have tackled the tough challenges the PS/3 has need of developers to master.

In the CEO's own words;
"our current research and development in hopes of supporting the PS3 development community and enhancing overall development for its core technologies such as the CELL processor and RSX."

This is very encouraging for the development of future games, the "stand on the back of giants" method of R&D is a smart one. I would encourage everybody to check out their R&D notes their are no doubt issues they already tackled that will save future headaches for development of PS/3 games.
