Game Wars is ON!!!
I know, I know. This post wasn't planned and I know I must be studying but...oh my God... as I am typing here, I am jumping up and down in my seat. E3 is on... and guess what? So is the Game Wars between Sony and Microsoft. Yep, you guessed it, *salivating* PlayStation 3 is revealed yesterday in Los Angelas, followed by a whole long line of games waiting for it.
*gets up, does a somersault, sits down, stares and drools at picture of PS3, gets up and screams with delight*
Just look at it!!! XBox 360 sucks in comparison!!!
Compare it with
It is so clear cut which design is better. XBox looks like it was made for little kids. Look at PS3... professional to the max. Bill Gates should just quit the video games business, pack up and go back to whatever shithole he came from.
Check HERE for more shots of the lovely PS3. *drool, drool*
And the specs!!! The specs!!! Can't forget the specs!!!
XBox 360 was first to be launched and supposedly awed the AMERICANS (the americans only and everyone knows that they are nothing but morons) with its 'powerful' specs.
XBox 360
- Three symmetrical cores running at 3.2 GHz each
- Two hardware threads per core; six hardware threads total
- VMX-128 vector unit per core; three total
- 128 VMX-128 registers per hardware thread
- 1 MB L2 cache
Wanna compare it with PS3?
- 3.2GHz per core, total 8 cores.
- 512KB L2 Cache
- 218 GFLOPS performance total
Not satisfied with the main processor? Check out the graphics processing unit.
PS3
nVidia RSX - 550MHz
1.8 TFLOPS floating point performance (2X best current PC)

Resolution of 1080p
XBox 360
10 MB of embedded DRAM
48-way parallel floating-point dynamically scheduled shader pipelines

Or the total system bandwith...
PS3
Main RAM 25.5GB/s
Video RAM 22.4GB/s
RSX 20GB/s write, 15GB/s read
System Bus 2.5GB/s read/write
Floating Point Performance 2 TFLOPS
XBox360
22.4 GB/s memory interface bus bandwidth
256 GB/s memory bandwidth to EDRAM
21.6 GB/s front-side bus
Floating-Point Performance 1 teraflop
But PS3 just doesn't stop there. There is 2 HDTV outlets, meaning some games can be played over 2 TVs. Isn't that freaking cool. Check out the names of PS3 CPU and GPU. You guys know Sony is a sucker for cool names like Emotion Engine and Graphic Synthesizer for the PS2, and guess what, PS3's are The Cell and the Reality Synthesizer. If that's not cool, I don't know what to call it anymore. Microsoft can go eat shit for all I care. The Cell is the child of 3 great minds working together, Sony, Toshiba and IBM while the RSX graphics is by nVidia and can work as powerfully as 2 geForce 6800 Ultra video cards at 1080p (Only very few high-end TVs can accomodate that high resolution, but technolgy progresses). What do you expect from such a powerful console.
Not going to bore you passengers with these, but just check it out. The PS3 and XBox 360. Or check out professional reviews for both consoles and make up your own mind for it. But I stil say, PS3 rocks and XBox sucks!!!
Anyway, got to got study now. Must get A and get PSP so can save money for PS3. *drool drool* PS3, super computer for super entertainment.
PS: FFXI for XBox 360? When FFXI as already been everywhere else? And stupid AMERICANS get all excited about it. DUMB ASSES!!!
I feel something having a powerful effect on the very fabric of time.
