"Sony's decision had no immediate impact on the cluster; for obvious reasons, the PS3s are not hooked into the PlayStation Network and don't need Sony's firmware updates. But what happens when a PS3 dies or needs repair? Tough luck." So basically, it's pretty much the same as if Sony just stopped selling/repairing PS3's. Hardly seems terrible doom and gloom to me, and certainly not something anyone should be angry at Sony for. They got a ton of cheap subsidized hardware, and can use it until it dies.
