PS3

I saw in the papers today the PS3.... Afew weeks back I saw the XBOX 2 and I have to say that the PS3 looks way better.... and even if the XBOX 2 is better the PS3 will still kick its ass.

Only thing I hate about it is the controller.... it looks very 3ed party type and cheap to me...

http://home.btconnect.com/hgi/ps3/ - first thing I could find

Shit it looks awesome!

But spec wise, PS2 can't fucking compare, the Xbox 2 has like a processor with 3 cores clocked at 3.2 GHZ, andsomething like 512 graphic card RAM. I know the Xbox looks kickass and microsoft have blown the specs out of the water with its custom designed CPU

XBOX 360 is amazing but the PS3 just looks a hell of a lot better

Am I correct in believing the PS3 will have better graphics?

I prefer N64.

SEGA MASTER SYSTEM FOR ME JKN

fuck the xbox 2. the ps3 will still kick ass, just like with the N64. The N64 was more powerful than the PS1 (64 bit compared to 32 bit processing cabability) and the PS1 still kicked its fuckin ass also put sega out da game.

better link...
it looks sweet.. controlelrs look funny
but the specs look amazing and it has 3 differenet colours

where did u see pics of the controler?

nevermind I see it looks like a fucking boomerang gay as hell your better still be able to use the ps2 controlers

the Ps3's graphics look way better compared to the currently released vifeos just look at this.... http://media.ps3.ign.com/media/748/748488/vids_1.html all in game footage totally real time!!!!

Controller looks like a piece of shit

that controller pad is horrid!!! I hope they dont actually use that one!

I heard Xbox 2 is released like 6 months before ps3 is released, microsoft realised that sony would own them and made sure they got it out before the new ps3.

Fucking Microsoft!!

and did anyone no you can boot linux on a xbox?

lol

lol yeah I did.. it was on THE SCREENSAVERS..

Ok first of all, the PS3 hardware has a tiny bit of an edge over the Xbox360, and Xbox360 so far has the best features going for it. This console war is not going to be like the current one, where it is clear to see that the xbox has superior capabilities, this time however the games will not look very different at all, and both systems seem to have equal quality games.

And sorry to burst your bubble or whatever, "all in game footage totally real time!!!! "
Sorry no, the videos for the PS3 so far are all PRE-RENDERED and NOT in game or real time.

Most of the Xbox360 videos are in-game/real-time, but so far Sony has yet to release an in-game video.

And then there is the Nintendo Revolution... which one of the only things it has going for it is that it is the best looking IMO.

My mom is pretty high up in Sony's television broadcasting divison and she knows some people @ playstation. I will ask her to email me everything she can on Ps3 and I will post it here, If there is anything that wasnt mentioned before.

PS3 has wireless controllers too...
I never even thought of getting the xbox.. im a PS man

I ahve to agree with gazaa .... the only thing I liked about the ps2 was the controllers and how simple they are but now they ahve even changed them ..... the xbox is superiour

Sony pwns all. XBOX sucks the cock.

I don't like the PS3 controller though, hope thats just a prototype or something.

well if its not they say the ps3 is like ps2 (can use past stuff like controllers etc)

QUOTE (gman @ May 19 2005, 12:30 PM) Do you know though, its a proven fact that playstation is the worst built console out of them all?

QUOTE (M0N0 @ May 19 2005, 02:33 PM) Shhh quiet you.

poor gman.. I still love ya.. even if u do like xbox more
PS is more "user friendly" ... controller is easy to pick up and play unlike the xbox
