US Playstation member Xenokai has put a call out to PS3 gamers for a Sunday Night Foldathon. Tomorrow will be the debut of Firmware 1.6, which will feature the folding@home program. The folding@home program is a joint effort by Stanford University and Sony to allow PS3 gamers to use their PS3's idle time in helping research protein folding. Watch this video here for an explanation of it.
"The S.N.F event is simple. On Sunday Night (March. 25th 2007) everyone who wants to participate in the S.N.F event simply turn there PS3 on and start the folding program, could be anytime you want or when you goto bed, you may let the program run as long as you want but would be great if it could at least last till 7am Monday morning, its all up to you since anything helps. This is to see how much help we (the playstation community) can be for this program and to show them that the feature is being widely used and maybe saving lives in the process." Count us in!
