please read all of this, then you can decide if you hate me.
Someone tell me why Microsoft made the xbox 360? Was it to be high tech, have amazing graphics? Lemme guess, NO! they put halo 3 on it because Bill Gates is cheap. He just wants everyone to crave for great games enough to spend 300 bucks on a platform that played great games, but it was so freakin expensive that people in ethiopia are going to starve for another year because they spent all of their life savings on one. (joke) But still it's expensive, and i know when halo 3 comes out even i will give into it's sweetness.
PLEASE NOTE: i am just mad at microsoft, Bungie's still cool.

So I guess that makes the Sony Playstation 3 the devil?

I like to knit sweaters.....and by knit I mean PUNCH....and by sweaters I mean babies.

Macgyver can build an airplane out of gum and paper clips, but Evil One can kill him and take it.

That would be three 1/2 years income in Ethiopia and you make no sense at all on your other (i guess) points.

They have to make it or they will lose to Sony. If they didn't make it, everyone will buy Sony stuff and Microsoft will lose business meaning they'll lose money, meaning they won't be able to give money to 3rd world countries.

Oh, and trust me, the Xbox 360's price is nothing compared to the PS3.

It is high tech, and it does have amazing graphics capability. It just hasn't been 100% utilized yet.

Ok no offense but the answer to the first question is yes. The Xbox 360 is truly a marvelous machine. The one problem today is that well the technology has surpassed the code for the time being.

the ps3 is a rip-off compare to the xbox 360!
I read the specs and the 360 has twice the cpu power than ps3(360:TRIPLE 3.2 Ghz=9.6Ghz.-.ps3:somethin around 3....)
So at first i thought "man this kinda sucks(perfect dark zero)".
But when it all comes down to it if the 360 was reconized as a computer, it would be worth like lets say...3000$-



yep

oh what, and you wouldnt pick up a 100 dollar bill if you saw it laying on the ground?

of course you would, any idiot would!

"He just wants everyone to crave for great games enough to spend 300 bucks on a platform that played great games"

exactly, i would too if i owned a multi-billion dollar company.

im pretty sure that people arent going to starve any more becasue microsoft made the 360, and bill gates gives a healthy amount of money to charitys that feed poor third world countrys so by buying a 360 you are giving bill some buckaroonies, which in turn he uses that profit for charitys that feed those 3rd world countries

If me, an unemployed 16 year old can save my lunch money and buy my own along with a faceplate, an extra controller and a game, i think anyone can. Seriously, you are only complaining because your parents cant buy you one because THEY say it is too expensive.

Well stop crying and start doing some work for a change and then buy it yourself. Youll like it alot more afterward. $400 is not that hard to raise, and i raised $500 to get all that stuff, in less than a year. Ask your parents if they are doing anything that takes a few hours, then ask them for a $7.00 an hour salary for doing the work. I gaurantee you the cash will roll in. I made $300 by working a my Dad's booth at a woodworking convention in Las Vegas. Guess what i got also on that trip besides money... i got to see the Blue Man Group as well as go on the Star Trek the Experience about 4 times. It was fun, and very rewarding.

Just as your parents, and you will be rewarded.

"

first of all, processor speed isnt mesasured in flops it is measured in bytes

second of all, it has 3 cpus that run at 3.2 ghz each totalling 9.6 ghz

im pretty sure that 1.2 teraflops is the floating point of the system
