Wow..  sony is taking a page out of microsofts book to try and get people excited about developing for their hardware.

Based on how long this thread is I would say there are not many people interested in creating PS3 exclusive content..  just like commercial game developers dont seem too interested either (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

GJ Sony.
