I believe the Cell processor in the PS3 is also the same processor used in the Lucas Arts CGI systems. They are similar on paper yes, but consider E3 when the PS3 was playing Unreal 3.0, Gran Turismo 4 with the Spiderman movie running in real time, and there are already 360 games switching to PS3 releases. IMO I think that it will be mostly up to exclusives though and if Sony can pull their head out of their arse and have a decent online play ability. As far as looks go PS3 minus a couple of points for the controller. I don't know much about the Revolution but I think that it'll be a sleeper just like the GC since there is so much hype between the 360 and the 3.

I vote PS3 if anything. I don't really have a lot of games for my PS2- my sis' b/f is the manager at game stop so i'll see what he can do for me, he gives me his store discount. Pretty sure i wouldnt get xbox because i suck at halo, i die every time
 And i <3 Grand Turismo and Tekken to much. mwahhaha

For one... can any of you tell me what a 3.2GHZ is... and two, do you know what a core is? If I sat a 2.2GHZ next to a 3.2GHZ... 90% of people couldn't tell the difference. So a 1 core difference doesn't SPANK xbox on paper. Now back to real life. Micro is using a IBM-PPC based chipset thats been out forever. Game designers know it VERY well and probably wont have to hard of time with MS and XNA. Whereas Sony is using a new thing all together. Do you know how long it took designers to figure out the PS2? Just think of the PS3. Hell it'll be 2 years before we get a game thats using the PS3 power. On other stats - Xbox wins in memory, Sony wins in teraflop count (BFD), and to me they tie in Audio. Blablabla. The rest is bascially unknown to the world. All in all, they basically tie. However, Xbox has Live and now FREE Live that I dont see to much being said at Sony. Xbox owns Rare which is one of my favorite game designers (Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Conker's Bad Fur Day). Xbox has Halo, which is by far my favorite game ever. With Halo3 coming out the same time as PS3, who can complain! Also, DDR (dance dance revolution) is now a Xbox standard game, no need for a PS anymore. I sold my Two with my only regret being the Rockstar games. Wait til the 360 comes out at Xmas. Let all the kiddies buy them up. Then purchase yours come January for cheaper. Oh yea. Ps3 price confirmed at 50,000yen. Thats about 450US buckos pals. -Ti [right][snapback]290966[/snapback][/right] the ps3 has a cell processor and will use that new state of the art disk, the presentation at e3 was more impressive than microsofts, there games (killzone 2, i-8, motorstorm, etc) convinces me to buy a ps3, and if square decides to remake ff7 , well pals i think my money once again will go to a ps3, right now microsoft seems desperate wich means lots of rushing.........

Nintendo 8 bit! thats the system for me!!!!! ya!!!!!!
At least the games are cheap, like "ebay: lot of 46 nintendo games $5" type of thing. Ya. I heard the xbox was supposed to be pretty cool, and microsoft has to have it do well, cause the last xbox tanked financially, and the investors are putting pressure to drop the gaming deparment if this one doesn't work. I'm not a huge microsoft fan, so I think it would be kinda funny if it didn't do well, but thats not very charitible. So... --------------------  psalm 69 |

So far the only desireable thing with the Revolution is that it is suppose to play all Nintendo console games, but why get a Revolution when a half decent emulator can do the same, or you could buy all the previous systems for less than that one. On the cost issue, Microsoft announced that the 360 is going to cost more than expected due to the hard drive, why I don't know but Sony and MS will probably start the prices at around $500 like they did before, even the Playstation one was $500 on the release date. If any of them should cost more it should be the PS3 since they are dealing with technology they actually developed themselves, 360 is based on current technology and also technology that has been out for close to a year now.

I definatly vote PS3, watch the e3 clip of killzone, omg i almost **** my pants its so awsome. And since ps3 has bluetooth, gg and with the hd capabilty, i can take out one of my 4 250 gig hd's from my comp now. And xbox360 has ati vid card, which in my honest opionion is horrible. I used 3 ati's and about 7 nvidia's, and my conclusion is NVidia>>>>>> ATI. GeForce 4 LYFE.

I ahve to go with ps3 so i can play all my old ps one and two games and keep up with the Final Fantasy series. But if the Revolution will be able to go online and get old NES and SNES games I will buy that in a heartbeat.
