So, I see you have not yet came to the IRC channel yet. I guess it's true then.. You're just a retarded 16 year old. Listen it's ok, I mean not everyone can be intelligent. Just use the webchat link and when you come by I'll help you set up your mIRC client. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

LMAO. Dude, get off of my ass already. Will somebody ban this clown? All right, send me the webchat link so you can finally shut up.

u're already stating Nintendo's controller will be ripped and u have no idea what it is...not one single iota...

BTW...MS is thinking of not including an HD...

and i don't know about u...but i would rather see a 10 year console life span...it means better bang for my buck...MS already shortened the Xbox's life...can't say i'm happy about that...

Thank you. Now I can reply and evade the moderator's accusations of being the cause of flaming.

Are you talking about this latest investment? KTHXBAI.

Isn't that the point of keeping it secret? How can I rip them off if I have not a "single iota" of an idea about what the Revolution controller is like? Sounds like mission accomplished.

Did I say anything about MS including an HD-DVD? No, I did not. KTHXBAI.

Contrary to popular yet inherently mistaken belief, a longer life span is not directly proportional to bang-for-buck. The Xbox is a bang for your buck when Microsoft is losing $150+ on each Xbox sold, even if its life span has been four yours (are you seriously complaining after four years? -- think Dreamcast and count your blessings). Can Sony stand to lose that much on each PS3 sold, and against Microsoft? Nope. Again, Sony's done.

if you had any idea how powerful the Cell processor was maybe u wouldn't be saying that...if you knew anything about CPUs...maybe just maybe u'd realize just how powerful 3 general purpose CPU cores are...but then again judging from your post...probably not...

Um, how can you judge that from my post? Really, that was a dumb comment. Back in the year 2000, I was writing my own C and C++ compiler on my 500 MHz P3 for the x86 architecture, just for kicks. I've dabbled in porting the Super Nintendo emulators over to the PPC architecture. I'd rather not be told by some punk about how powerful three general-purpose CPU cores are when I've debugged the Linux kernel source code for symmetric multiprocessing. Oh, and Xbox 360 is the one with the three general-purpose cores, not PS3. Again, there won't be a single PS3 application to utilize the vague benefits of the Cell chip.

Now, shut the fuck up.

thx for the heads up.

edit: sharoon

do your homework that's not their last investment (and a 30 GB HD-DVD is really nothing special)...it's a technology beyond HD-DVD and Blu-Ray...i shouldn't say that HD-DVD will never come out...but with a capacity of only 30GBs it will quickly become obsolete especially when HD-TV hits it's stride...30GBs is just not enough unfortunately...but like i said...do some research and you'll come across what i'm talking about...

and toshiba knowing that it is an inferior product has already invested in a technology to replace it...they've already conceeded defeat by moving onto the next great thing...

http://www.digitmag.co.uk/news/index.cfm?NewsID=4982

and i know the PS3 consists of one general purpose PPE and 7 specialized SPEs

and i know the Xbox360 is 3 general purpose PowerPCs...reread the post and you'll see I was making a general point...

also generally speaking those who really know what they're talking about don't have to list their accomplishments on a msg board...it comes out in their posts.

on top of that...gamers like games...consoles don't matter...designers don't matter...and yes a 10 year life span is good (especially with development cycles increasing to 2 years...a longer life span would allow developers to further tap the power of the console)...how many times have u read a review or seen an interview where a developer claims to be getting all they can out of a console and then another game comes along that looks better than all the previous ones.

Check the date on the story I linked to, and then check the date on the story you linked to. Tell me now which one is the latest investment. Also, consider that I linked to Yahoo!, and you linked to a shithead niche magazine.

And don't tell me that 30GBs is just not enough; that shit is more than enough. "When HD-TV hits its stride." *Scoffs* When HD-TV hits its stride, there'll be some enthusiast in France who hacks a codec to fit HD-TV content onto a DVD. That's what the industry standard H.264/MPEG-4 AVC codec is for. Dude, I did my homework, and Blu-ray:HD-DVD::Betamax:VHS.

Finally, if development cycles are gonna be two years, then good. It'll weed out all the faggots who don't know shit about game design. Let us see ... EA stock quote goes down, way down. Take Two dies a welcomed death. Activision gets spider webs caught in its ass. Nintendo continues to produce masterpieces. Ah. A breath of fresh air.

Now, why don't you put some more thought into your posts so that you drastically reduce the chances of introducing red herrings into your arguments? That would be helpful.

Try reading the article...what did you just glance at the date?

Seriously did you even read it?

Do the math...at 1080p...that`s barely enough space for the movie, not to mention all the bonus features that everyone wants on a disc.
Quite frankly I don`t really care which format wins, but I can clearly see the benefit of Blu-ray over HD-DVD and if you had even glanced at the article I passed onto you you would clearly be able to see the advantages of HVD over everything.

But whatever clearly you're not capable of discussion your constant need to sign up under new account names shows that you're just a board troll who can`t seem to effectively communicate with others.

Bad news for our European Gotwooters, the PS3 has been delayed till March 07.

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Announces New March 2007 date for European Launch of PLAYSTATION 3



Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Announces New March 2007 date for European Launch of PLAYSTATION 3
No change in launch date for Japan and North America

London, Wednesday 6 September 2006 – Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) today announced that it would revise the launch date of its PLAYSTATION® 3 computer entertainment system in the PAL territories of Europe, Russia, Middle East, Africa and Australasia from 17th November 2006, as previously announced to March 2007.

Launch dates for Japan and North America will remain the same, which are November 11th and November 17th respectively.

The revision of the launch date in the SCEE territories is caused by the delay in the mass production schedule of the blue laser diode within the Sony Group, thus affecting the timely procurement of key components to be utilised in PLAYSTATION 3.

The previously announced PLAYSTATION 3 shipment forecast of 6 million units globally within the fiscal year ending 2007 is not changed.

But far fewer machines will be available for the launch dates in Japan and the U.S. because of the production problem, Kutaragi said.

In the U.S., about 400,000 PlayStation 3 machines will be available when they go on sale Nov. 17. About 100,000 will be available on the Nov. 11 Japan launch date.

According to one post on www.maxps3.com Blu-Ray jumped in size to 200GB.

Additionaly as to discussion of which will win it may be neither, a new format bacteriorhodopsin (bR) a new way of storing data found in Florida International University is currently capapable of storing 200GB but has the potential to store 50TB (around 50,000 GB).

[Zinobi]

so what are you gettin at there zibo?

[RyougaZell]

zibo:

Too bad no device can read such 200gb Blu-Ray discs (stated on the very same article)

[zibo]

For now, in near future there most likely will be.

Zinobi: I'm saying that bR may be the winning format not Blueray or hd-dvd.

...What the fuck? 75-85 bucks for one game?!

[.noname.silent]

constantly buying consoles must suck. wonder who's the next dumbass to get a ps3 box for $800 on ebay. have fun wasting your money guys.

[mage]

800? They're going to probably go for atleast 5 grand. People were buying the 360 for 3000+. If you wanted to make some quick money, all you'd have to do is pre order some around town at various stores/online and then sell them all on ebay.

Edit: Oh, after reading RyougaZell's post, I realized you said ps3 BOX. Nevermind.

wish I had saved the auction...

I just remembered that one guy put the xbox 360's "box" on sale on ebay that week... and it sold on 600 dlls.

the buyer didn't pay at the end, having noticed his mistake (the auction DID state it was the empty box) and got banned from ebay...

PS3 games are only costing 70-85$ in Japan to offset the cheaper system cost. They will still be 60$ here. 70+ is what they pay for blockbuster PS2 games there so it's prob not a major thing to them.

Also with the 500$ version now having HDMI output my system will only be lacking 40gigs and wifi which I'll never use .

[Zinobi]

PS3 games are going to cost $60
Yes you dont have to give and arm and leg for one

[Knives122]

Aren't you already giving them an arm and a leg for a ps3?
