Well, since I don't really care about it much I only read the NY Times article. All I know is Sony has set the bar high. Damn, that's a fast processor.

wow. thats honestly the first time i've gotten to really use the Translation extention for firefox. that thing kicks ass. lol.

As for the PS3 processor. if they work this right, and really start hyping it around the time when xbox2 comes out, this could end up hurting MS.

of course we dont know for sure. but it appears to me at this current time, PS3 is going to be the powerhouse of nextgen. and being the most powerful console is one of MS's main attractions for this gen.

but have to wait and see how it all ends up. cant wait to see em all in action soon.

Ya, I can't wait to see them in action, and how the controllers look like.

I remember when I saw the GCN at SpaceWorld... Holy ****, I was so excited for like 5 hours.

i expect the controllers to look basically the same, only a few changes or additions to it.

According to an article in the latest PSM, the PS3 controller is apparently confirmed to have at least 2 new buttons to take advantage of new things PS3 has to offer...

Or something...

Yeah this time PS3 shall be the most powerful plus have the best 3rd party backing if things go accordingly. And there goes Xbox's Temco games since they only want to develop for the most powerful console. Perhaps Nintendo is smart not to "directly compete" as they say. Gotta see what MS has to offer to keep gamers interested. Just a few more months...
