im too lazy to go get them now but i will return with the specs for each system and lemme just say that PS3 is at least twice as powerful as XBox 360. the E3 demonstration was unbelieveable (woo streaming live from gspot). anyways ill be back later with the specs. in the meantime, xbox and ps fanboys respectivly, go at it!

dude of course it was...

it was using UE3
everything looks good on with that
a UE3 demo would make my p.o.s. PC look godlike.

kinda hard to tell which is better since the processor sony is using is so new

still though, with multiple processors like the 360 has, there's one thing that WON'T happen, bottleneck

that's a huge graphics killer that's been eliminated right there

kaos · Post by **kaos** » Thu May 19, 2005 1:34 am

Ive been reading around and most of the game sites are saying the same thing pretty much.

and the answer is surprising.....tho it makes sense.

"these specs dont mean a damn thing"

It's always about the titles anyway. If Nintendo can sort out their marketting problems and get some more games licenses, I'd love to see them on top. It just seems to be mostly the same thing with xbox and ps to me. But I'm not automatically siding with Nintendo, if they keep in the direction they've been heading with the gamecube I may just cut off the dead weight and move on.

Hehehehe.
thats enuff to break a fanboys heart.

EchoPark · Post by **EchoPark** » Thu May 19, 2005 5:38 pm

just one thing ..... why back a processor whats in the second phase of testing and the first set of the processors are now dying ...

Super Goat Weed · Post by **Super Goat Weed** » Thu May 19, 2005 5:47 pm

oh come on, it's not like sony is known for making gaming systems that last for a long time here

it would keep with the pattern pretty well

(which reminds me, i'm still on my first xbox)

Bogey · Post by **Bogey** » Thu May 19, 2005 6:41 pm

Hehe true, there's a shop around the corner from me that seems to make a nice bt of money through fixing PS2s.

EchoPark · Post by **EchoPark** » Thu May 19, 2005 10:04 pm

lol well yea dude. But still PS3 is using a few tech which isnt finish so, there cuttin it close. Really but it would be good to see. I acutally think theres a good balance in the system for the X-Box.

Massacre · Post by **Massacre** » Thu May 19, 2005 11:22 pm

should indeed be interesting which system gets the sales but i seriously doubt either one will "kill" the other. as quoted earlier it could be that "those specs dont mean a thing".

i suppose i was just overwhelmed when they redid the entire Final Fantasy 7 intro video with ps3 power. *drools* however now the fanboys will be dying for a remake even thoguh the video said "ps3 demo" on it

EDIT: also just as another point, ive never had to replace my ps1 or ps2 and ive had the ps1 for a good 8 years and its taken quite the beating.

EchoPark · Post by **EchoPark** » Fri May 20, 2005 12:37 am

yea i still have my orginal PS but its a good fact that the hardware is cheap and dody. And the system has been recalled a few times. Does anyone know why theres no Dual Shock on the new joypad. I think i do but not sure.

Also i want to know what games are exlusive to Sony now .. i tryed thinkin but the only one i got was GT.

No tiny titles i need to know major titles

kaos · Post by **kaos** » Fri May 20, 2005 2:23 am

Im not sure on the reason for dual shock.
but im thinking it might have to do with that lawsuit a few months back that almost put them outta buisness.

what i'd rather know is who designed the Boomerang controller, and who approved it.
and how drunk they both were when they did it.

its like a controller with arm rests or somthing.
