Endless Paradigm

Good new for developers! Sony has allowed developers to use an extra 70MB of RAM while developing for the PS3. This is slightly similar to the boost in clock speed that the PSP received a while ago.

  Much like the PSP received a boost in clock speed, the latest firmware updates provide developers an additional 70MB of RAM to work with. The change was initially discovered by PlayStation University, noting the reduction in the system OS's memory footprint, from 120MB to 50MB. As the OS continues to slim down, developers are allowed access to even more usable system memory.

  SCEA's Patrick Seybold recently confirmed the change to Joystiq. "Since the launch of the PS3, wee have been continuously making efforts to reinforce our support system to game developers, allowing them to express their creativity freely on the PS3. As part of this support for game development, the size of the PS3 OS memory footprint has been reduced through network update for the game developers."
