I vote No..
Simply Because, Most of us are NOT walking banks and cannot afford to buy 2+ PS3's to run a single game, I would much prefer if they did all this using ONE PS3 and utilize the CPU and GPU Chips of the console efficiently.
Also, imagine if one ( or even both ) PS3's suddenly die from ylod, what will you do then? buy another 2 PS3's to continue having a super high resolution and smoother FPS?
I'm sure Sony would love you.

Not a chance, would only even consider this if it affected the physics that are in play while I'm trying to set a fast lap (don't mind the collision physics being off since the goal in racing is for that NOT to come into play).

No thanks, I barely have space for one in my house, let alone two

I don't have money to throw away so no i wouldnt. But to those people who say "No i wont pay money for things that should be included in the game" - If it was that simple, then those features such as extra cars on screen would be in the game. The PS3 is not powerful to pull it off on its own, the limitations of consoles are a massive burden on game design.
Graphics development for the last few years has slowed down massively, due to the trend of games being developed for consoles that might have previously been developed exclusively for PC, they have to hold back a LOT to make the games run on consoles. Though with that, the need for new PC hardware has also slowed down a lot.
Its well known that PS3's run really well in clusters, and people have had great results, even building supercomputers out of clusters of PS3's (When the PS3 was new it was sold at a loss, the hardware was very good for the price at that time. With that in mind its not so hard to imagine they could do it with the PS3 for gaming, but i very much doubt they would.

I wouldn't buy an additional PS3 for GT5. Most of what has been listed would work with a single PS3 (more tracks and cars, would need just more hard disk space) or is an design issue (damage modelling and AI).
Improving the graphics and cars on track wouldn't be worth it for me. Plus, as we all know, the actual gain in performance (compared to the investment necessary) is rather slim when clustering stuff up vs. buying a new system.
A PS4 that's capable of 'upscaling' GT5? Why, yes, I'd buy that. An additional PS3? Hell no!
But I'd buy additonal RAM for my PS3 if it helps

Already have two PS3's.
I'd buy another 2 or 3 if i thought it would make this or any other game run/look better!
Gonna buy an Xbox come September, that's going to really help things too.

No need for me. GT5 will not kill my PS3 cause im done. Time to move onto Black ops. Ive played this game non stop for about 2 months, now there are so many updates and weird changes. Im done. I played it for 2-3 months non stop. Im not mad to retire and start a new venture. Therefore, buying another ps3 wont happen, cause mine aint gonna die.

Ok dude, tell us what multi monitor setup "brings alot more to the table"? What is it? Bill for 2 additional monitors? or bill for electricity? lol. Or maybe crazy FOV that make GT5 look like crap, but wait you can now see cars overtaking you miles away lol. IMHO when setup used correctly it widens the gamefield without distortion - thats it - which is great of course adding some sense of immersion and speed and if you like it do it, I personally dont care, but there are quite more people who cannot afford it or just dont see it reasonable to invest but they still want to have some improvements - for them 2ps3 optimization is the way to go, its not mandatory just a cool option to have, ps3s are getting cheaper.
Maybe even PD SHOULD make gt6 for 2ps3s specifically say in 1.5 years. I guess its better then waiting for expensive ps4 to appear, than waiting for development teams to learn new system, developing, optimizing, waiting for sony to move right number of consoles and only afterthat letting game on the market, this way we can wait for gt6 next 6 years, or maybe 10 who knows.
