Lol, notice how they say show you a whole fleet ofs hips flying around and saying it's all like that.

I seem to remember sony bragging about stuff like this in the past and it turns out the game plays nothing like that, it's just the video clips in the game.

After the PS2s hype i don't buy the ps3s anymore, to me it just seems like they've made it more pretty looking and a new graphics card.

360 and for sure the Wii have more to offer.

So it's better than the PS2. Go them.

I'm not paying £400 for a fancy computer chip. Please.

Explain to me the facts that would back up this information? However, I have the facts that prove that all around a PS3 is better then an Xbox 360. First of all, the GFX Card that the PS3 runs on is 2x stronger than the 360's, the PS3's processer is stronger then a computer, and the PS3 can complete 51 billion dot operations per second while the 360 can only complete 33.6 billion per second. This means that the PS3 will have 50% less the loading times that of the 360. Plus, the PS3 is going to have built in TiVo.

So in otherwords, the PS3 has a graphics update and nothing more.

The xbox loading time wasn't annoying or bad, it was like 10 seconds max, lol. the 360s can't be to bad.

The rest is graphics, £400 for a graphics card, i can buy one for my pc for cheaper.

Sony really has made no changes but a graphics update. :\

Microsoft has updated there online gaming, made huge improvements and are even bringing mmog to it - that's new and exciting.

Nintendo are making the Wii and have completly changed the way you play it.

I really think sony has messed up, their trying to go the traditional route and tbh, i believe the game world is bored of it..and wants something new.

First, they're called Floating Point Calculations, not 'dot operations'.

Second, you're wrong. The loading time depends on how well designed the firmware is as well. Billions of floating point calculations make no difference to starting up the computer.

For example, if you have a 3GHz P4 processor, and you boot up linux, it will take you a about 3-4 minutes, because linux's booting system takes ages. You can start up a Windows computer on a 1.6GHz processor, and it will take about 2 minutes.

What the advert said about the rain is true. The cell will be able to make rain be realistic, it will be able to process physics and stuff, because the processor has excellent an excellent FloP (floating point) calculation rate. These are excellent for gaming, because of physics, trajectories, gravity, stuff like that.

The PS3 is an excellent platform for games. Pity its owned by Sony - who are gaming Nazis and want absolute power over the gaming industry. Its also a pity that its still just based on the boring-ass old gamepad, unlike the Wii's revolutionary remote control, and there will probably be hardly any decent games for it.

I like how they make the claim that it could be smarter than me. If I remember correctly that is similar to the claim the Beatles made before they screwed up.

I hope it does the same to them.

Nintendo and Microsoft ftw kay?

Tjbartz2009 · **Posted:** October 27th, 2006, 9:35 pm

Yah but guess what system made that advertisement?

A Computer!

The computer will always be on top of Playstion, Xbox(even tho it's made my Microsoft), and Nintendo. And no it doesnt wanna make me buy a PS3 because you know its still behind the X Box. It will have it's flaws :roll:

Tombwarrior9 · **Posted:** October 27th, 2006, 10:24 pm

700/800 $ for a piece of crap? No thanks.

I'd much rather buy a Wii.

^_^

Wow. More Graphics and slightly more processing power.

If RuneScape has taught us anything, Gameplay/Graphics.

Oh yes

Wii are the Champions.

Wii will rock you

Click this if you want a good insight into what Wii games will be like

I heard it has a processing power approximately equal to 1% of the human brain. So the answer to the final question on the ad is no, the cell is not more intelliegent than us.

The brain does work in a different way to processors, but if you use the CIPS (computer instructions per second) rating, you find the brain is immensely powerful, however with working out a FloP Calculaton, we're useless.
