It seems that the top, or at least one of the top, PS3-powered Folding@Home teams is 2CH@PS3, which is ranked 47th in the world. That is followed by PS3Forums.com which is ranked 67th. I just checked and Team Kotaku is all the way up to 150th. That's out of the 72,066 teams in the world. Pretty damn impressive, if you ask me.

To date our team has 952 members and a grand score of 7.1 million. And here's a list of our top five members:

1 bigredbutton 409559
2 Nonog 329152
3 PS3 314064
4 SCTrojans83 127768
5 mrWalrus 111669

Hey, lets have a Fourth of July folding party! Join now, do you part to fold shit. Our team ID is 57858.

I think it would be great if Sony followed some of their forum posters suggestions and implemented an official leaderboard and maybe even some HOME trophies.

<![CDATA[Folding@Home: Crack the Top Ten]]>

My Playstation 3 has been running, without stop, since the new PS3 firmware update hit. That's more than an entire week of no overheating, I'm pretty damn impressed.

In that time I've played exactly zero PS3 games, instead I'm letting my console chew up Folding@Home data and bump me up the Team Kotaku ladder. Currently, I'm stuck at 11th place out of more than 540 people.

More importantly, though, Team Kotaku is no ranked 821 out of 56,420 teams in the world. If you own a PS3 or a computer and haven't joined yet, hop to it. There's no time like the present.

Here's our team stats for your perusal. Oh, and Whitesanjuro, turn off your damn PS3 already, I'm never going to catch up with you.
