What's Known About the PS3 · Slashdot Mirror

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Friday March 3, 2006 @05:52AM from the devil-in-the-details dept.

1up has an expansive piece up exploring everything they know about the PlayStation 3. They cover rumours, prices, technology, and the limited information currently out there on upcoming games. From the article: "While the hard facts are still tough to nail down, the general consensus is that the PlayStation 3 is the most powerful of the three next-generation systems, although probably not by as much of a margin as Sony would like us to think. The arguments for the technical strengths of the PS3 go into CPU floating-point capabilities and the difficulties surrounding programming for parallel architectures, but the long and short of it is that whether or not the advantages of the PS3 are apparent will depend on developers' ability to utilize the PlayStation 3's unique architecture."

Does it look cool? Most end users care only about graphics, sound and ease of use. Personally I think the X-Box 360 will reign King.

Now how could you mod that poor functional language advocate "funny"? I'm sure he'd much rather be modded "flamebait"... but you knew that already, didn't you, Mr. Moderator?
