'arkham', you are so misled. It's not whether I can afford the $15-$20 they will be charging the consumer that bothers me.

It's the principle of the whole thing. Let me see if I can paint the picture for you.

Sony has been preaching 'high definition' as the holy grail of gaming and the utopia of home entertainment for the last two years. The be all and end all of audio visual nirvana and how they are the only company that can give trueHD to us. In fact, this ...

Component is the cheapest, most common cable type that will carry the native 720p or 1080p resolution output from the ps3 for both gaming and movies and it is the most common connection type found on HD televisions and surround receivers.

You see 'arkham', there is a big difference between choice and requirement especially for a company that is bringing a console to market late and $200 more than it has to be simply because of it's high definition movie capabilities. Bundling ...

This may have been acceptable practice for last gen but for nextgen it's unacceptable. Personally, I'm filing this one under rumour because it's basically an inconceivable option in my mind. All they talk about is 1080 this and 1080 that, they must be including atleast component.

PC=Ferrari F430
Highest performance out there but for a price. Even more performance can be achieved with pricey aftermarket specialty parts.

Xbox 360=Subaru Impreza WRX STi
PS3=Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX
These two represent the best bang for buck performance on the street. They approach performance with different ideologies and each have strengths and weaknesses when compared to each other but overall they are very comparable.

Wii=M...

Hmmm... as much as I'd like to believe in these lists, I know there will be titles pushed. Just like for the 360, when we get within about 2-3 weeks several titles will be delayed.

Heck, Fight Night Round 3 was already delayed from Nov.17 until Dec.12 and it's a port!

btw, shouldn't this be in the ps3 section?

Well, it was sitting out in open in the middle of the room at normal room temperature. It bloody well better not overheat. Ever.

I think the major issue for both the ps3 and the 360 is that joe gamer brings his new console home, unpacks it and proceeds to put it down on one of those little shelves in the tv stand and maybe even stack his newly purchased games beside it. The congested space starts to warm up making heat exchange inefficient and after a while, poof, the console im...

The ps3 may be coming out a year later but the Graphics Processor design was finalized waaaay back in summer 2005, before the 360's GPU btw.

The PS3 would have been able to launch at the same time as the 360 if they had used DVD.

The financial well-being of Sony is extremely important news if you are one of the people that are planning to purchase a ps3. Here are some of the more important reasons, if Sony is in financial peril:

-they will try and shave every cent off of their product in order to return to profit. I don't think I need to spell out what happens when you use cheap parts... the weakest link and all that.

-they will be less likely to honour/make it very difficult to process...

It's interesting that the 360 is the least liked platform to develop for but 'ease of development' is almost it's most popular feature...

I NEVER come to 360 side and start anything with anyone, so I don see why you (or anyone else) would come at me on this isde of the site!

MS got 3 in the top 5, Sony got 1.

okay, call it 270 without the live arcade titles in there. There is a grey line there though, games like cloning clyde for example are pretty in depth and I've spent about 20+ hours and counting on geometry wars but completed king kong in about 13 hours so which one do I call a 'real' game? I know which is the better value though.

As far as comparing the 360 game install base vs a new system, well this is called the first mover advantage and it is a reality. It was a huge ad...

you kinda put a double negative in there...

"survey and polls over the internet DO NOT IN NO FORM (do in every form) represent what is happening or going to happen as far as hardware or games sales."

Anyway, I disagree with the spirit of what you are trying to say. If that was the case then somebody better tell just about every major organization out there that uses polls and surveys extensively to stop including our own government.

Sweeney said multi processor setups were twice as expensive to develop for vs single cores (ie dual/quad core pc, 360) and cell is 5x more expensive.

If doubling the cost results in a $5-10 price hike then increasing cost by 5x will mean $15-25 increase or $75-85.

Sounds like Nishida and Sweeney are making comments that are consistent with each other.
