I knew he was not only full of it....but he...who ever he is....knows very little about the cell or processors at all.
A cpu is the central processing unit. There is ONLY ONE in both the ps3 and the 360.
A PPU is the power pc unit. The 360 has 3 and the ps3 has 1.
You don't have to be a developer, to use common sense.
8 cpu's and 8 spe's are two totally different terms. And for him to mistakingly use the term cpu, shows a lot abou...
They have already told retailers....and my relative at EB games told me that they are waiting now for how many units will be pre sold per store. This most definately is the news. It will be officially announced. Now, what the second announcement is.....I have no clue. But we will see....
BTW....the reason there are claims of the ps3 version of oblivion having sharper textures, its due to the hdmi hook up vs the componant hook up. HDMI does make things a tad sharper and giv...
That MS has confirmed it with them. Right now, EB is waiting to see how many they get per store before they start taking pre orders. Its for real. MS just hasn't announced it to the public yet. I can't wait personally. I'm guarenteed one when they come out.
And in my opinion the 360 version looked better. Detail, colors, ect.... But both still looked great. I downloaded the patch yesterday for Oblvion and boy oh boy does it make a BIG difference. Now, I can't wait for the expansion on Tuesday. Anyway...I saw a few people mention the clowds looking better on the ps3 version. I don't think those people understand that the weather, clouds, ect...change from day to day in Oblvion. There isn't any way for the guys at Gametrailers to get the exa...
And here is my honest opinion....
I have played every multiplatform game for both and the 360 version always looks and plays better...sometimes its close and others its a notible difference. I'm sorry if that offends fanboys..but thats what I see playing the same games on the same tv...61 inch 1080p Samsung.
On the online aspect of both....I once again give the clear edge to MS. Sure I love the fact that the ps3 network is free...But many games aren't taking ad...
5% of 10 million 360 owners equals
500,000 guaranteed owners who will be able to purchase the HDMI adapter that MS will surely release as they stated they would when interviewed by IGN many months ago. In addition to that, Microsoft is most likely going to lower the price of the current premium and external 20 gig drive. Rumor has it the premium will be flushed out and the elite will take its place in White at 399 with the 120 gig hard drive/hdmi with cable.....So the 120 gig drive...
The Elite 360 is approximately 470 and the HD dvd add on is 130 in many places now....Thats 600 dollars total...The price isn't confirmed yet though...We will see. I read somewhere that after the limited edition black ones sell out....it will take the place of the white premium 360 and be priced at 400....Interesting indeed. We will have to wait for the official word from Microsoft.
You get 120 gigs, hdmi output with cord, and the hd dvd player. for the same price as the 60 g...
It would be one of the biggest moves "ever"...and it would force all the 2k sports fans to buy the 360 and it would bring GTA exclusively to the 360....
The side of me that loves my 360 is like "That would be huge"
But the side that hopes the ps3 gets off the ground is like "Noooooo....that sucks big time"....
Sony fans would feel like 2k fans felt when EA monopolized Football. But this is on a larger scale. Or bette...
And none of this should surprise anyone. And if there are gamers who will only buy the ps3....this news of exlusives heading to the 360 shouldn't bother nor effect them. It only effects the gamers trying to make a choice between the two consoles or the gamers like me who have both and have to choose which version to get. I really don't understand anymore what the big deal is. MS has done a masterful job making the 360 irresistable to developers on many fronts. Kudos to MS. But its not l...
If you haven't already played or purchased the xbox 360 version or the PC version with a high end PC. The review was very good for the ps3 version. I was a little dissappointed to see the ps3 still has problems in some areas (graphics) as the reviewer stated....but it wasn't major enough to hurt an already Fanastic Game. This is good news for ps3 only fans....and it should make 360 owners happy that their year old purchase is standing the test of time and in some ways beating out the newer...
Well I have been around for a long long time and I have seen the comments hit 1000....Of course it was before the bubble system. It was before the launch of the ps3 as well....But this is the most comments post bubble period...
And Microsofts plan all along was to create a next gen system that was easy to program for with superior developement tools....Then you top it off with a fanbase of over 11 million in a little over a year and you have the perfect situation for developers....Its common sense. The 360 has a record breaking 5.1 games sold per console....And many titles have surpassed the 1 million mark.
1. developing for the 360 is 1/3rd cheaper than the ps3
2. Developers have stat...
Well...thats funny...the last time I checked the xbox 360 outsold the Wii during Christmas and the ps3 sold 100k in the month of Feb. Sure the Wii has gotten off to an unbelievable start....but to predict it will continue to sell at that rate with "no games" coming is hilarious. Nintendo is a huge brand for "kids"....there is a good 20 million Nintendo fans out there in the world. And they support Nintendo "no matter what". But the 360 has done a superb job t...
You are dillusional my friend. I won't even comment on your attempt to compare the inferior ps3 to the 360....All the developers and editors of every popular gaming site has already done that and have clearly said the 360 is superior for game developement and games in this next gen period....the only thing they say is "the potential of the ps3 is what we don't know"....Me personally....I don't believe the hype. I bought my ps3....and I want to see first hand....don't tell me I pai...
And they all say the same thing. The 360's gpu is much better than the RSX. Nvidia's new line of computer graphics cards are just now using tech that's in the 360 NOW. The RSX is using old tech from Nvidia...their 6000 series cards....
ATI has stated on many occasions that with super fast intelligent embedded ram does AA and HDR with no penality to very little penality at 1080p...now thats amazing. Nvidias cards are just now being able to do both HDR and AA at the same time...
The top selling game is Crackdown and half of the top 10 top selling games are 360 games. Couple that with xbox 360's selling a steady mid 200k to 300 k a month in the USA since launch. With spikes during the holidays of course. Even with all the reports of price drop and a new version of the 360 to be releasd in May. I have friends who still haven't bought a 360. They are waiting for the price drop and I have friends waiting for the black 360....

No, what depresses you is that i'm honest and my honesty goes against what you want to believe. I'm not a fanboy...I could care less who wins the console war. I just want "Games". And I speak honestly and fankly about what I have played and experienced. Sony indeed has let me down on many fronts. And I refuse to fron and pretend like they didn't. My opinion and views are just as important and should be respected just like anyone elses. We don't have to all agree...And I'm far...
That is the Best Lineup of Games "Ever" folks. WOW...Microsoft is doing way too much this next generation. The first year they put out a good 6 to 7 games rated solidly in the 9's.....and now they bring out the biggest games when the Wii and the Ps3 is trying to get off the ground in regards to "Games". We all know the Wii is selling consoles like crazy but seriously lacking on the games.....and the ps3 isn't selling very many games or consoles.....But MS is showing no m...
Core 300

core plus 120 gig hard drive 480
120 gig hard drive 180
360 elite 480
If you bought the premium with the 20 gig hard drive....you still own the 100 dollar 20 gig hard drive. So of course when you buy the 120 gig hard drive, you will spend more. But you still own the 20 gig hard drive.
I don't understand why anyone would complain. If you need a bigger hard...
