Have y'all seen this:

MIT has a playstation 3 programming course: Learn and Compete in  
Programming the PLAYSTATION3 Cell Processor

This course is a brand new IAP 2007 class offering open to all MIT  
students (undergraduates and graduates). Students will spend several  
weeks learning about new multicore architectures and parallel  
programming patterns, and will design and implement projects to run  
directly on the new PLAYSTATION3 consoles. The course will culminate  
in an exciting competition at the end of IAP, and prizes will be  
awarded to the best projects. The course will give students hands on  
experience in parallel programming in an exciting and relevant context.

All the course materials (lectures etc.) are online. If you were  
curious about programming the CELL processor, this looks like a great  
intro...

Enjoy
