Tav Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 I just watched the 1hour50min E3 launch video for PS3 on gamespot.com and it looks stunning. A lot of specs seem to be superior to the Xbox360. The processor floating point is higher as are specs such as memory bandwidth. The nvidia graphics chip set is stunning. Apprently the most powerfull chip set around. Twice the power of one of their top end PC chip sets. Dual monitor out put as well!!!Certainly looks like the PS3 is edging ahead to me. Certainly all the next gen machines will be kicking the shit out of PCs for a little while....<mutters> stupid PC gamers all high and mighty...

Tav Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 ...and probably still costing around 2000 for a really good system...yeah... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClicheGuevara Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 If that 'Nintendo revolution' clip is a fake, how's it so well done?I don't know much about making videos, but it is professionally done, and well at that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mgrant Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 ...and probably still costing around 2000 for a really good system...yeah...that would be the dell price wouldnt it? if you built it yourself it would cut the cost down quite a bit and you could use better quality componants unlike the crap dell shove down ppl's throats.

Tav Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 No I recently made up a spec sheet for a PC made from components that was of uber quality and the total system price was just shy of 2000...using sites such as overclockers..dabs etc etc and nothing like Dell.

Doc Ascension Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Tav, that would include everything I assume and would also be a phenomenal machine.I could build a really good, and I mean really good gaming system for under 1000 easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
