While the message hoax was that if you forwarded it onto to X number of friends you could keep your free access, it isn't a hoax that Sony are considering adding premium content on top of the free access. No-one know what this will entail yet though.

) Cell broadband engine. It's a somewhat more powerful machine for running 3d engines - as long as the developers make the game on a ps3 devkit first. It has 2 main cpu's and 6 more that can operate independently. A lot of games use one of other 6 to record video of games while you're playing them. I wish IL-2 would do that, since it clearly doesn't use them all.

) slightly better gpu turns 400gflops to 240gflops in the xbox gpu. Usually won't notice any difference.
IMO the Differances between PS3 and 360 are soo small that you have to be picky to notice them tesst has proven that the 360 was the better one all round
)online is totally free, though there's a viral hoax message still going around claiming it won't be soon.
Who cares it is Free? I got 13 Months of Xbox Live for 60 Bucks. wich is a Bargain IMO

) it's a blu-ray player - don't care that it's a blu-ray player? Well the games are also on blu-ray, and blu-ray discs can hold up to 50gb of data if they're dual-density. Metal Gear Solid 4 used all 50gb. The launch title Resistance was 16 gb.

) you can get a ps3 in pretty much any color as long as it's black.
The 360 is in more then 6 standerd colours available. I have the Elite Version, wich is Black. as it should be! :cool:
) it has a web browser for if your pc breaks or something. Youtube works.

UpComming December Xbox has its Virtal 3D Controller wich aslo has Internet on it.

) things ps3's used to be able to do but can't (mine is a launch ps3 so it does them all): play ps2 games, run linux, have 4 usb ports, have memory card readers. launch ps3's also have been successfully swap-magicked for ps2 games, but I don't know if it still works.

The 360 has this to. Some games are ''Backward Compatible wich means that you can play them on the 360

Sony also commissioned a Survey in the UK and asked questions like 'How much would you be willing to pay per month' - The options ranged from £2.99 to £14.99 and £19.99 to £99.99 for the year. They want to push exclusives and early releases more.

It's only a matter of time before Sony start charging. They are a PLC and that means they exist to make the most money possible for their shareholders.

I think it's inevitable.. Although I'm hoping that they'll keep the PS3 access free and be happy with the download sales..

true that true that: you'd be suprised what companies do these days to haul in some money!

after all, thats what neccesary to make games, dont they?

How can anyone make an objective test for something like that?

Xenos and RSX are almost as different in design as the Cell and Xenon are. One has more pipelines with dedicated functions, the other has fewer but with dual functions and higher flops per pipe. Both have the same speed 256gb gddram, the Xenos has a special extra 10mb dedicated to effects, the RSX has a high-bandwidth bus connecting it to the 3.2ghz system ram, which allows Cell spe's to be dedicated to gpu function.

The performance ceiling of both is theoretical, the only way to test it is to run software on them. Since they're so radically different, there's no way to test them with the same application cause you can't run one application on both machines. Even if you had one source that could be compiled the same on both machines, there'd be no way to say if its design were optimized equally for both.

But no, people usually can't tell the difference. Except maybe with something like killzone. I can't stand the graphics ho's anyhow. Give me a game not a graphics. Every big game that gets released there's a million kids droning on about the graphics. I think the graphics of almost all next-gen games are great.

... oh and I gotta say killzone is garbage, though I am prejudiced against fps games lately.

1. Have you played the first one?
2. Did you play the story?

Amazing story and even better gameplay IMO. Though a lot of the CoD noobs didn't like it because you turned too slow. -___-
