Moores law rules this out.
A PS3 only has 256mb of ram, so you need to get it out of the case, remove it from the board, check it still works, package it up and sell it.
But I can buy 2GB for 5 GBP. Can you do all the aforementioned things for less than that?
I wonder if we could sort and melt down chips as a source of raw semiconductors (I hear rare earth metal mining/refining is very dirty). Maybe that would be economic?
