meh, its more or less techy info.

I just thought i'd post about it for those who havent seen it :)

Oh, and nintendo revealed their system...but i dont care about it so i wont make a thread on it.
 
artrius said:
what's their new system called?

Nintendo?

Nintendo Revolution...I gotta admit, the actual system itself looks pretty slick..but i would never touch the games.

xbox 360 is the new xbox if u didnt know already.

the 360 means that they totally redid the system and what it does...or so i figure..whatever.
 
the new Cell processor is supposed to be amazing. I believe the PS3 will be using 4 simultaneously with a running speed of 1024 gigaflops, putting the PS3 on the top500.org's list of the worlds fastest computers.

that's f*cking fast, too bad I dont play video games....
 
I bought a PS2 and thought it would give me hours of entertainment, but was never really bothered as too much going on in terms of work, family, training. Ended up giving it away to my niece.
 
they made the new controllers too spacy...

i don't know which way I will lean... I have always been a PS guy, but recently got hooked on x-box.... (finally mastered the controller)... the only downside is no GTA and a few other things...

I will let my friends get em first and then pick one out...

I will probably go playstation tho anyways... 90% of my time is spent on NCAA anyways... or something like rainbow 6 (which are better on x-box currently IMO)

Fixed the error. And about the xbox...I already made a thread about it a day or two ago so i didnt think it was necessary to repost.
 
hehe I made two threads on this and they got moved

PS3 is more powerful then the 360, their display is top notch and that processor smokes the Box, don't let the 3.2ghz on both fool ya

with that said Ill be buying both ;)
 
One should be able to righ that mofo with Linux and post on EF with it... with those specs is run circles around all my computers... :-(
