No. It just looks like an attempt to own cows. However, since it's false what Sony said about it being so powerful and he points it out and then you trying to make everyone believe he's just insecure, acutally makes you look insecure about you're system now.

I think so. But they changed it a little bit. I'm not sure if it was less or more powerful then that. I've heard people saying both.

The RSX is a higher clocked G70 (7800GTX) with half it's bandwith (128bit) and the Cell is more powerful than desktop CPUs only in certain tasks such as number crunching (thus it's huge success in F@H). With regard to gaming performance it's pretty much equal to current high-end desktop CPUs.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/907534

 

Well done.

 

SYMPTOMS

You see three lights on the Ring of Light (RoL) flash red on the front of the Xbox 360 console. The upper-right quadrant light is the only light that does not flash red.


CAUSE

This behavior occurs when the Xbox 360 console experiences a hardware failure.

I don't understand why people bash a console if they can't afford it. I can't afford a Ferrari, but I don't exactly hate them with a passion

I don't understand why people bash a console if they can't afford it. I can't afford a Ferrari, but I don't exactly hate them with a passion

The analogy isn't perfect but I can make it work. (Ferrari's are usually for adults and well, adults don't behave like the prepubescent teens that seem to populate this forum) I can't afford a Ferrari either but I'm sure everyone's heard excuses like: "Oh it's too extravagant." "Oh it sips too much gas." "Oh it isn't practical." "Oh it draws too much attention." "Oh people will think I'm a showoff." But the reality is if they could afford it, most people would want one. (I'd buy one tomorrow if I could) Now I'm not saying the PS3 is on the same level of luxury as a Ferrari. But there are a lot of kids out there who cannot afford a $600 console. Or their parents refuse to buy them another console after having already spent some pretty significant dough for a Wii or Xbox360. These are often the culprits who start threads in System Wars like, "OMG the PS3 suxors I plaied it in Kmart and it suxosraldkfj!"

Did you ever consider that Sony might be the reason why alot of people bash the PS3?  Their lies, unfulfilled promisses, EU delays, game delays, etc... to be fair it might be Sony's PR department to be blamed.

I'm sorry, but I have to question your intelligence when you pick out ONE company who you think lies. Welcome to the world of business. It's all about hype. If you knew anything about your fellow man, you would know that hype is a very strong factor in driving sales.

Yup, slight oversite by the hardware team I guess. Sony Hardware Boss - "Hay guys..this thing isn't all that hot for gaming. What can it do well?"
