Garda Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 can i recommend this link cos the above one doesn't work nice. also, recommend leaving javascript on, otherwise ugly things happen. I actually hope the PS3 does well. It's not like sony is running low on money or anything like that, but if there is a 3 way war it will be more interesting, except for the fact that 2/3 of all platform games will be unavailable to consumers. It seems that the PS3 is the only one of the 3 platforms with some nice specs. The Xbox360 and the wii kinda have some crappy powerpc chips. This has a hot chip, blu ray player and wireless (for the expensive one). If people settle for the cheaper boxes will developers change to bringing out less powerful gaming machines for cheaper prices? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Didn't one of the editors of a playstation oriantated magazein just give up waiting for a PS3 and went and got a 360? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoR_Wraith Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 It seems that the PS3 is the only one of the 3 platforms with some nice specs. The Xbox360 and the wii kinda have some crappy powerpc chips. Actually John Carmack has been quoted on saying that the 360 and the PS3 are almost the same in terms of power. You'll really not see any kind of significant difference between the look of their games. The Wii is less powerful yes, but that has the whole gameplay and affordable thing going for it.

VaKo Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 The PS3 is also a bitch to program for, where as the 360 allows more shortcuts. Everything on the PS3 has to be multi-threaded where as the 360 can be single threaded, and most game programmers aren't up to speed with multi-threaded programming yet. But at the end of the day, its not worth shouting about how crap the other consoles are compared to your choice. Its all about the games you want to play. /me wonders why he argues about consoles, he doesn't even own a tv set... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaKo Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Who isn't these days? But MS seem to have done good with the 360. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizz Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Yeah, obviously less trouble than sony had with the ps3 - price, bluray problems and stuff - you all know it. But Microsoft aren't good boys either. They're as evil as sony is imho :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 The 360 had the overheating power brick, which I might add, gave new validation to the term powerbrick. The thing is gargantuan. You know, I've always liked that word..."gargantuan"... So rarely have an opportunity to use it in a sentence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoyBoy Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Brick. Hmm. How does it compare to a brick in weight? In grams, rounded to the correct number of signifigant figures please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlit Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Actually I may be wrong here but I think it does compare to a brick in terms of weight, it is fairly weighty... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Did Sony build the PSU into the case, thus explaining is weight? How much power do these new consoles use? Are we talking about the need to hook up a small blackhole just to boot the things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
