Looks like Toshiba and Sony are good friends again, now that the high-def war is over. Toshiba has bought a Japanese Cell and RSX chip factory from Sony for a staggering $835 million, meaning that Toshiba is investing that much money into the Cell, the PS3 — and Blu-ray.

IBM recently announced that the Cell chip has been successfully shrunk to 45nm, which will improve performance and cut manufacturing costs. Toshiba’s new plant is expected to start manufacturing those new chips this summer. While Toshiba will manufacture chips for the PS3, it will also use the Cell for its own products in the future.
