I really want my PS3 :tongue: Well now I have something to say that no other system "fanboy" can top. Sweet ^_^ Ok but back on a serious note, that's really cool and a great idea.
That's awesome. I have a 360 but will probably be getting a PS3. Simply because it's more powerful. I'm all about serious gaming and taking gaming to the next level and that's what the PS3 seems to be doing, not only in the digital world but in the real world as well.
so let me see if I have this right... compared to the xbox 360 it's nto that good of a gaming system. and this has been known for quite some time. F@H is nothing new. if you want to contribute to folding @ home, http://folding.stanford.edu/ your computer can do it too. Merged Post: the CPu is more powerful, but not the GPU and when it comes down to it, the GPU is what matters in gaming. nVidia who designed the PS3s GPU doesn't even use that architecture anymore, it's based off of nv30 and is more or less a straight rip of nVidia's last gen GeForce go 7800 except it's slower(because they can't produce enough if they're as fast as the full speed ones) nv30 sucks http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=of...%22&btnG=Search if you were serious about gaming, you'de be looking at G80, which replaces the archaic G70 and nv30 based designs of the past - in some cases, G80 outperforms 4 g70 based GPUs by over double... that's over an 8 fold performance diference ===================== ack... sorry for getting off toopic. As I was saying the PS3 is a horrible failure on sony's part(speaking commercially, since the xbox 360 is profitable while the PS3 costs sony around 200$ per console sold yet it can't outcompete the xbox) they concentrated in the wrong areas. I am glad sony made a decent linux box, a decent media center, and a decent machine for medical research, I'm just disappointed they are advertising it for gaming when A - it's not that great of a gaming system B- it's so much better at everything else. If sony had half a brain, they would market it as a complete media entertainment system, they'de have increase the harddrive size substantially and allowed for drive swapping, and allowed it to record TV. then they could have used a much cheaper processor somethign which already exists, like Xenos in the xbox(whih is still a decent processor jsut much cheaper to make) and the Sony could have included a specialized version of linux with a few simple apps for webbrowsing officework etc. and they could have marketed it as a PC replacement too. and at 900$ such a thing would havebeen a STEAL. And slightly profitiable.
For all you people thinking about getting one. I could be called a fanboy, because sony is all I ever bought. But I have a pretty unbiased point. I have played alot of games on alot of systems, the wii, the xbox, computer, and last but not least the PS3. The PS3 is great even though I only have one game, resistance, I love it. But after playing games like GOW and some other games on the computer, it is really doesn't stand out nothing makes it special. And for the wii it just flat out sux, who wants to game with that damn remote all night long, and Nintendo never had good games except mario, and they never will which is why they fail. The only reason they do good is because they were a nextgen consol that came out and it was a cheap alternative to the ps3 at the time it came out, and thats all it is is a cheap alternative. So if you want to be gaming, i suggest the 360 or computer, and if you have the money get a ps3, or hell if you have alot of money...all of them. Most people that try and bring the ps3 down are people jealous they can't get one, because it isn't bad at all, but like I said it just doesn't stand out from a computer or a 360 which give you a better price deal. And some of these new games are going to be sick, killzone 2 looks pretty good, and I know socom will be hottt. But lets please not turn this into a which console is better thread noone crash this, its something positive coming out of gaming and all gamers should be happy that they can help. There are alread threads for talking about which is better, go crash in them. And hmmm i dont know if anyone will ever understand xelink...
I've been folding at home for the last 2 or so years - http://vspx27.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py...name=SebaJSilas
good good, maybe others even if you don't have a ps3 should sign up for this program..it helps everyone, who knows you might get cancer one day and hopefully by then they can cure it
yeah but there are more features that make it better, what i was trying to say its a better bang for your buck, that being said majority of people own a computer, and less people own a ps3.
There are some things that are better left on consoles no matter if they are good, bad or if a PC is better than a console Doesnt matter to me - How can you have 4-8 players on a PC? You cant unless you got a network but thats pointless for playing multiplayer games with your friends Doesnt matter how crap a console is there are some things that make it worthwhile to get - And i didnt know ps3 can cure cancer lolz its bizarre - Xelink with his techy knowledge repeats in most threads i go to for PS3 -lolz DARKSTAR
Sure, Sony definetely can donate money to cure cancer, but they definetely can't make a good price for a console. Good to hear they are doing somethin' good.
