... *gasp*

Well I may be picking a PS3 next year, along with my Xbox 2. Microsoft is probably eating their fingernails off right now (and gnawing of the tips of their fingers as well). I hope they can compete with whatever it is they've got up their sleeve.

Oh man.

Wow.

I've never, and I mean never liked the Playstation or PS2... Or most of it's games. But wow.

I can only hope that Microsoft comes up with something better, or at least equal.

Microsoft, nor AMD or intel can really beat the cell architecture. x86 processors don't look like they can match that speed. The good news is, computers will get a speed boost.

Cell Explained

Wow, doesn't that break Moore's Law?

The name, partners and core technology was known for a while, but the specs revealed here certainly have me pumped.I only hope they don't skimp on system memory or construction quality this time. I would be willing to pay extra for a well built system without any cost-cutting bottlenecks.

I still want to remain skeptical on the system specs. Sony promised that the Playstation 2 Emotion Engine could do real time 3D movies, and they said a whole industry of private filmmakers would be mobilized. STI could just be over inflating specs a bit.

Unless theres a lot great games coming out im still going to get an xbox 2 over PS3... What made Xbox great was the developer's ability to suck so much out of the xbox... Halo (1&2), Both the Oddworld games, Ninja Gaiden... and With the next Halo installment, Elder Scroll: Oblivion, and hopfully another Oddworld game, the PS3 will have to get some great games...

I also want to state now that the first thing I'll do with my Playstation 3 is some laundry, and while doing that, surf the Internet, cook dinner, and vaccum the floors

And considering I'd still have more space to use it as a phone, I'll call an ignored relative

Because, of course, you could probably manage your entire life around this thing

*gasp*! I might actually have to buy a PS3......

We’ve watched while the stars burned
Out, and creation played in reverse.
The Universe freezing in half-light.
Once I thought to escape.
To end a master, step out of the
Path of collapse. Escape would make us God.
Yet I cannot help but remember one enigma,
A hybrid, elusive destroyer.
This is the one mystery I have not solved.
The only element unaccounted for.

That's just not fair... Nintendo and Microsoft better find some way to legally rip that off. It would suck majorly if Sony gets a monopoly on the market.
But as had been said, it's the games that matter. And no matter how quickly they go, I still don't want a system with fifty Final Fantasy Games. Maybe two...
Nintendo still has the best games regardless, and they are getting some Final Fantasy games as well.
I must agree about Sony inflating their specs at times.

I need transitions... : (

I think sony's nose was put a little out of joint by their consloles relative lack of power the n64 crapped on the psone for power likewise ps2 against the xbox and the gamecube. I think they are worried about this happening again so tey are going to make ps3 as powerful as possible even if it sells at a loss. plus there is another war on between hd-dvd and sonys own blue-ray format so the ps3 is an ideal way of getting a new dvd format into peoples houses. Sony has much more than just the console market at stake.
They will have probably secured a much better deal than microsoft( and nintendo) with IBM as they are investing millions in a new plant to manufacture their new chips with them.

Some of you act like Microsoft doesn't know about this, or more importantly, knew about this a long time ago. Just wait until E3; you might be surprised with what Xenon is going to be able to do

Maka has a point, and remember that just because it may have greater processing power dosen't garuntee that it will have supereior games developed for it. I would be curious to find out what video cards they plan on using in these consoles, simple processor speed is not everything.

Microsoft probably has a chip that is microscopic and 10 times more powerful. Oh and incase you didn't notice I know nothing about computers.
