The RSX is more powerful than two GeForce 6800 Ultra video cards, which would cost roughly $1,000 total if purchased today....Since the console has two HD outputs, it is can be hooked up to two side-by-side HDTVs to projecting video in a 32:9 extra-widescreen format (think Cinemascope in your living room).

Sick!

I like the Bluetooth controllers, it's about time to have wireless controllers made by Sony. Consoles are finally matching PC, and by the way, any information on the price? I'm expecting it to be $350-400, so I'll have about $600 ready for it and the games, and probably a PS3 steering wheel if they planned on making a new one.

im not talkin trash about it but i think it will be amusing to see the PS3 in 20 years. what we all thought was cutting edge design now will be so retro then.

Sounds awesome, but that controller looks terrible. They need to lope off a few inches and widen the trigger buttons. Better yet, make the L2/R2 buttons actual triggers, Dreamcast style.

Other than that, I'm looking forward to this and the Revolution. And hopefully they'll finally make GT5 what it should've been by part three. (more than 6 cars on track at once, damage, ferrari/porsche/lamborghini, all the forgotten cars of the makes already included, true customization and hopefully a true-blue first person view. Oh yes, and for the love of god, let me do crazy burnouts and doughnuts in Gymkhana, for christ sakes!!! I want to light 'em up!)

How about a online mode that can have around 50 cars each race, or even online endurance? By the way, they're calling it "Vision Gran Turismo", which sounds cooler than just "Gran Turismo 5". The controllers looks weird to me as well, hopefully they'll keep the Bluetooth part and make a new design for it. The PS3 sure will beat the crap out of Xbox 360 and probably PC. I'm thinking of getting silver or white for the system.

So, we're set to wait about another 2 1/2 years (europe) after everyone else gets it until a miserly amount are shipped over here...I bet they're not multi-region as well...

:eek:that looks freakin awesome! the controllers may look weird but hey, Sony's designers know a lot more about ergonomics than u fellas do. So it must be comfortable.... judging by the long handles...

the shape of the console is great i seriously thought that they would come up with a f*cked up and weird design. But damn that's sexy... i actually drooled :o :D

It would look better in metallic orange or gun metal! *drools*

Why will it beat the 360? Are you a clairvoyant?

The hardware for the two will be fairly equal in terms of raw power. What will decide the winner here are games, a cohesive online experience (Xbox Live style), and functionality. It will be an interesting race, and this time around I feel that it will most likely be a tie all the way along between the X360 and PS3 (Talking about this generation still seems crazy to me :eek: ). Nintendo could be in there as well, but they'll need to pull a rabbit outta their collective ass.

Bill Gates said that Halo3 will be released on the same day as the PS3, if that helps anyone :S

AWESOME. Gates is a genious, although he is evil... This is the marketing battle we need between the big two to produce better systems/games.

Why will it beat the 360?

watch the streaming video on the link. As he says, the ps3 processor is twice the speed of the xbox 360 processor, which will allow for much better gaming experience, more expandability for games producers, making the ps3 the better console

Why will it beat the 360?

"PS3 does over 2 Teraflops, 360 does over 1.
PS3 does 100 billion shader operations per second, 360 does 48 B
PS3 does 51 billion dot operations per second, 360 does 9 B"

now all u need is grand turismo five to come outon it and hopefully the in game graphics will finally be realistic :)

gt4 trailers looked really good but the in game racing has allot ot bed desired in my mind, forza on the xbox graphically is better, but know i think playstation will have the upper hand :D

ZeTurbo
05-17-2005, 01:38 PM
one think playstation allways had of better than other consoles were the controlers.

I guess i will wait untill i actua;;y have one in my hands to make a judge ment but thos controlers do NOT look like an ergonomic tour de force.

EDIT: if GT5 does not have at least porsche and ferrari i will NOT buy it.

Yawn... This thread looks like something out of a game fanboy forum. Although I'm only nineteen, I've now seen enough console launches to know that it's the same every time. Each new generation promises to push gaming evolution further in the future, in this case the future is usually what PCs have been doing for a dozen years or so...

Let's see how it pans out when they actually arrive eh?

Rockefella
05-17-2005, 01:52 PM
I somewhat agree w/ VTECMINI. I doubt the games will look any different from each other (between PS3 and 360)

Wont all this super-modern stuff inside in the ps3 make it cost a shitload?

I mean previous Playstations retailed at £300 at launch, i think the ps3 will be more..

XBOX360 and PS3 are close in specs, with PS3 having more technological power with 2Teraflops and xbox360 running 1.82, however xbox360 has more grunt

i see it this way the xbox360 is the muscle car, it has the torque and raw power

ps3 has the technological power and precision

thus they both have advantages over one another, personally, xbox360 looks better, why? ps3 pics are RENDERS and the ps3 controller sux big time. Square Enix signed up for FFXI for xbox360, and that is great news for potential sales in japan / asia because they have good signs of solid RPG's.

Best of luck to both consoles. No console will really dominate over one another this time, imho its going to be close, damned close and who knows, it is never 2 late for microsoft to change power specs before release, and sure as hell tehy still havent told us all the specs, coz look on the net they all have "unknown architecture" labelled.

Don't forget the fact that you can build your own XBOX, apparently they come apart and you can put different styles of case and different tech in side and stuff.

I heard that some Japanese magazine had been informed that the ps3 would cost about 50000 yen in Japan (equals 370 euros). If that's true, it might be as much as 500 euros here (all the electronics is expensive in Finland) :( .

Power doesn't determine who wins the console war, look at the PS2/Xbox generation. Its all about the games, and to be honest, marketing (though many gamers don't like to admit that part).


"PS3 does over 2 Teraflops, 360 does over 1.
PS3 does 100 billion shader operations per second, 360 does 48 B
PS3 does 51 billion dot operations per second, 360 does 9 B"

Read this: Beyond3D (http://www.forumplanet.com/gamespy/xbox/topic.asp?fid=13022&tid=1656599)

and this: 2 TFlops you say? (http://www.forumplanet.com/gamespy/xbox/topic.asp?fid=13022&tid=1656643)

Also, if I'm not mistaken when the PS2 came out Sony claimed it could perform a rediculous (for the time) amount of Floating point operations per second (Flops) which of course did not make its way into the true iteration of the system.

Take a look at IGN in their preview of Gears of War and Perfect Dark Zero (May 18th news from E3) for the X360 while your at it. :cool:

That being said, I'm not a big Xbox "fanboy" (god I hate that word, it seems if you like anything your a "fanboy" these days). I believe when both systems hit the shelves they will be near identical in realizable graphical and processing power. Personally, I'll be going with the 360. Why? Well I'm a current Xbox owner and I have really enjoyed it, especially the blessing that is LIVE. I'm also excited about the many other things the 360 has to offer apart from gaming. But down the road when things become cheaper I may invest in a PS3 as well, or possibly a Revolution.
And just a little food for thought. It is forseeable that the X360 will launch at $299 US. The PS3, in an article at IGN, it was said that the PS3 will launch at no less than 50,000 yen, or approximately $465 US. While that doesn't make the X360 better in anyway, it could give it a big edge in market share, which is ultimately what MS is after.

I think Microsoft are just looking to get there finger in just about everything they can just to become richer, And like they need more money :D
A X-box or Playstation has a life of 3-5 years then a new one comes out.
But a Good PC can last 5-10 years a P4 3.2gh/z is powerful enough for a very long time.
My mums PC is a old AMD 2000xp with a s-dram 64mb GPU and 256mb 2100 ddr ram. It's like 4 years old and it still plays all the new games with no problesm. Has a 7 year old screen:eek:. It was built before the PS2 and will be around when the new PS3 is out and and maybe till the PS4 lol:D
I still have my old Playstation it's over 7 years old easy no good anymore but it works like a dream still:)
