Don't forget -- the playstation is a game system, but it is also a
computer!

Tasks outside of the gaming realm could be used...  If not something
as simple as a menu of games, then a drawing package (or 3d graphics
app), or hell, even an accounting package if you really wanted to.

Granted, a 3D graphics app would make better use of the hardware, but
on the other hand, maybe you can use the optimized matrix functions to
compute every tax possiblilty and see what minimizes your taxes!
