Sony and Toshiba may have been in cahoots when they worked on the Cell processor, but now that it's out, Toshiba is throwing its pants on and running out the door. Yoshihide Fujii, Toshiba's digital media network CEO, is claiming they'll be the first company to put the Cell processor in your living room. Nevermind that Sony's PS3 already beat them to it, Fujii is determined to beat his partner/rival to the punch. Meanwhile Sony's also rushing to put the Cell CPU in their own HDTVs and home theater equipment. This puts both Goliaths in a race to deliver Cell CPU-based gear. Maybe both companies should first check to see if people care enough about the Cell processor to put it in their living room in the first place.

i really dont care
What's a Cell CPU going to do for my living room? I'm interested.
Umm, dude - if Sony cared what people wanted, would they have given us the PS3? Shame on you for questioning Sony - don't you realise they know better than you do?
Lmfao. nice pictures, aye... XD
hilarious :P
dude, seriously, Toshiba can suck cock.... idiots >.>
Maybe they mean my living room specifically. $DEITY knows it'll be a rather infinite time until Sony gets one there. Think Toshiba can make something cell-based I'd actually want?
The Cell is like Vista.
Still waiting for a compelling reason to want it.
Although Mothra temporarily defeated Godzilla it was only by ganging up with a twin...Mothra cannot take down Godzilla alone.
Long live Godzilla (that would be Sony! XD)
I tell you what. If Toshibas main dude is named Fuji, that is ridiculus.
And another thing... yeah, if Sony care what we wanted, they wouldnt have made an out-of-standard flash memory stick, and ATRAC, and all this other crap no one wants.
And another'nother thing!... What the hell is up with my balls?
Test
Why don't we just turn over all of our world governments to the Cell processor while we're at it?
You see, the PS3 isn't in your living room, it's most likely in your mom's basement...
Where's the kraken?
I love that image, I like to parellel Japanese consmer electonics companies with 60's monsters.
Okay, show of hands, who here is actually concerned with what kind of CPU is in their next television/stereo?
I still don't know what a cell processor is, but if Godzilla and Mothra are willing to fight to the death over one, I must have it. I will not be outbid on Ebay! My network of spies and assasins will procure for me one of these "cell processors" for my own fiendish uses...

I got a Godzilla ornament for my Christmas tree. It Rocks, and roars at the push of a button!
