Basically SPUs can do both, they can run indendantly from the PPE, or along side PPE. Where PPE dishes out jobs to do.

But either way SPUs = cores.

So PS3 has 9 cores = 1 PPE & 7 SPU cores are working(1 SPU is for OS & secruity, the other 6 SPU cores are used by game devs), 1 SPU core is disabled for yield purposes.

New storylines and characters, hence why sequel is not required.

It makes perfect sense.

Having no controller, no buttons, triggers, does'nt work well with all game genre's.

LAGTAL has 'Epic Failure' written all over it.

Early adopters are, thats why I got Launch 60Gb(upgraded to 320Gb) one. My PS3 will playback PS & PS2 games.

Your wrong......

Quote:
In their keynote, Sony Santa Monica explained that the SPUs aren't actually coprocessors but are full general purpose processors that can handle code directly lifted from the PPU. Moreover, they aren't just fast, but they are super fast and with a little bit of help they can run code at unbelievable speeds.

Both PPE & SPUs are cores.

SPUs can run indepentantly of the PPE or along side it, SPUs have the own kernal, memory & DMA. SPUs are CPUs in ther own right, so are cores.

Funny how you cant see the benefit of installs on PS3.

For starters PS3 can easily have it's hard drive upgraded to 500Gb, making storage not a problem.

It's the Crapbox that has the install problem, as you can't upgrade hard drives above 120Gb.

Still not as bad as no controller at all.

Whats up, are we jealous.

The point is PS3 owners get the option of even better 7.1 audio, if they have the amp to support it. Where as Crapbox is incapable of 7.1 audio, it don't even have optical out let alone the space on it's 6.8Gb DVD9 to store it. So dated it.

Fool.

The difference is that the PC can have it's data compressed as every PC has a hard drive as standard so installs uncompressed game data, same can't be said for Crapbox.

Lehman Brothers - you go on as if 1080p & uncompressed arn't required, just cos your Crapbox can't cope you don't need it.

What would you rather have Black & white 480p graphics, with mono sound.

Are you so stupid that you like living in the past. Well y...

Graphics & audio data are crucial part of the game. Having native 1080p & uncompressed audio just enhanced the gaming experience. PS3 version is clearly the superior.

Crapbox = Gimped version, have fun juggling/scratchin discs.

Having a choice is good tho.

@Jason 360 - Eyetoy does it better, no lag. And thats on a aging PS2. Lagtal has epic fail written all over it.

Ofcourse GT5 exists. It's still in development. Anyhow you question it coming straight from the lead devs mouth.

The glasses are still prototypes and will probably get lighter before release, and in future 3D updates probably will not be need at all.

AAC was developed with the cooperation and contributions of companies including Fraunhofer IIS, AT&T Bell Laboratories, Dolby, Sony Corporation and Nokia.

Sony played a part in the creating ACC, but was not soley responsible for the tech.
