Now id imagine you would say oh ya of course id choose an xbox because halo is mainly xbox. But really think about it. All wireless(Xbox 360) or Living organisms(PS3)?

1) It's not actually a biological cell. [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_chip]Cell Processor[/url]. 2) We don't know enough about what the PS3 will have. All we know is it's going to use a cell chip; that's about it.

[quote]or Living organisms(PS3)?[/quote] Eh, o_O? Anyway, despite being a self-confessed microsoft/Xbox fanboy, I think the PS3 will be better. I also think the opposite of what's happened now is going to happen (at the moment, the PS2 has a larger fanbase because it's been out longer, but Xbox is a better console (in terms of specs, etc)).

Mircrosoft always beats sony. Sony used to make good tvs, thats about all

[/quote] The problem that the PS3 will run into is cost; will the new cell processor cost so much that it will have to sacrifice other things like the GPU? A fast processor means very little if the rest of the system lags behind. However, if they manage to balance it well then the new Xbox will turn into the PS2 of last round; though by a lesser margin since the PS3 will probably be released only six months after the 360. Xbox may also win on terms of software. The pulling of Square Enix's Final Fantasy dude was a huge win.

This is from GameSpots coverage of the Sony Press Conference going on right now (high lighting mine): [quote]Sony also confirmed the PlayStation 3, will use Blu-Ray discs as its media format. The discs can hold up to [i]six times as much data as current-generation DVDs. It will also support CR-ROM, CDR+W, DVD, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD+R formats. It also confirmed the machine would be backward-compatible all the way to the original PlayStation.[/i] It will also have slots for Memory Stick Duo, a SD slot, and a compact flash memory slot. It will also sport a slot for detachable 2.5 inch HDD somewhat similar the Xbox 360's. Out of the box, the PS3 will have the capability to support [i]seven Bluetooth controllers. It will also have six USB slots for peripherals--four up front and two in the back.[/i] Sony also laid out the technical specs of the device. The PlayStation 3 will feature the much-vaunted Cell processor, which will run at [i]3.2 Ghz and feature 2.18 teraflops of performance.[/i] It will sport 256mb XDR main RAM at 3.2 Ghz, and have 256MB of GDDR VRAM at 700mhz. Sony also unveiled the PS3's graphics chip, the RSX "Reality Synthesizer based on Nvidia technology. The GPU will be capable of 128bit pixel precision, 1080p resolution, some of the highest HD resolution around. It also has over 300 million transistors larger than any processor available commercially today. It was manufactured using the 90nm process with 8 layers of metal. [i]The RSX is more powerful than two GeForce 6800 ultras, which would cost rough $1000 if bought today.[/i] The PlayStation 3 will also sport some hefty multimedia features, such as video chat, internet access, digital photo viewing, digital audio and video. Sony Computer Entertainment head Ken Kutaragi introduced it as a "Super computer for computer entertainment."[/quote] [Edited on 5/16/2005]

Have any of you seen pictures for Condemned? It's only on Xbox 360 so far, (they haven't announced it for any other consoles) and it looks amazing. Since it is the only thing I have seen for any future console, right now I say Xbox 360.

Sorry i just heard a rumor of living organisms of some sort. a already knew of the cell processor tho and i dont think thats it. but ya sorry if its false information.

Am I the only one who doesn't care about the console, but rather the quality of the games released for the console? [Edited on 5/16/2005]

Whoops, my bad. [Edited on 5/16/2005]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Captain K Mart Am I the only one who doesn't care about the console, but rather the quality of the games released for the console?[/quote] Read my other post, I talk about the game coming for Xbox 360, not Xbox 360 itself.

[url=http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/05/16/screens_6124681.html?page=6] Hey, look it's a picture of the PS3 from the PC. [/url]

Hey, I have a novel idea! Lets wait until they come out!
-
Facts! The PS3 has more processing power becuase of it's cell processors system. The Xbox 360 has better Video Quality becuae of it's EDRAM technology The Xbox 360 has twice the RAM (512mb as opposed to 256mb on the ps3) The PS3 has twice the amount of USB 2.0 ports.... the purpose is because the controllers will use these USB ports unless you buy Bluetooth controllers. The Xbox 360 & PS3 will both stand vertically and horizontally The Xbox 360 comes with default wireless controllers The PS3 is much larger than the Xbox 360 Both systems will have 100% HD compatible games

X Box all the way!! Can't wait untill the X Box 360.

right bigggamer . i mean wifi rocks i have a wilan so with the xbox 360 i could game in the hole house on live :P

I have to go with Xbox 360. I am not buyest in any way right now. nor was i with the last console wars. I try to empty my mind of any previous things that have happened with any of the companies. Then i look at the facts. So far Xbox 360 looks better, specs are pretty much better, games are WAY better, and the support it has is so much better than the PS3 or the revolution (nintendos new one). I have to go with Xbox 360. But i will be able to make a more educated decision once the specs and more games come out. I really like my method of buying the best system. It hasnt let me donw yet. And it probably will not ever. BTW once I pick a console out of the wars i will then promote that specific item. not that entire linup of items and the company. so i support the Xbox but not necesarily the 360. You know what I mean?
-
I'll get both - but I think Sony might have hit a home run this time. I hope MS has got some REALLY good games up their sleeve. Killzone 2 looks incredible.
-
Xbox 360 will have Morrowind, too. I'm not big into the game but I know a lot of people are. Random thought: Bungie should release their next game (or Halo 3) the same day PS3 comes out. Oh, the chaos that will be had. [Edited on 5/17/2005]

Not sure if it's been posted yet but [url=http://hardware.gamespot.com/Story-ST-x-1985-x-x-x?tag=boxcar_all_features_image]here[/url] is a side by side comparison of tech specs on gamespot. Haven't read it yet, thought I would share it first. - LE
-
Yeah, I think they'll both be sweet, and I'll prob wait til' Halo 3 to get the new box, but one thing left out from that gamespot comparison is that XBOX 360 is going to be backwards compatible with the original XBOX.

-
Im ganna wait till H3 too. I cant pay 300 dolars or more for a console. sheesh.

From what i have seen so far is not good for microsoft PS3 is looking stronger and has the upper hand on the 360 I pray that microsoft has more to show then what they have (games) but not to panic i think the 360 will be the better system when it is all said and done............i hope.
