Remember that PS2 required a military export license because it could be used as a missile guidance device? I quote: "Parts of the machine resemble a small supercomputer". Isn't that funny as hell from today's point of view? Here is a link to that story: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2000-apr-17-fi-20482-story.html https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2000-apr-17-fi-20482...

And a few years later, there were several PS3 supercomputer clusters. The US Air Force built a supercomputer out of PS3 nodes, and it was the 33rd largest in the world! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3_cluster https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3_cluster
