Sony Rep Denies Need For PC, PS3 Better

Phil Harrison continues down the road of marketing hyperbole, now having gone on record stating 'we do not need the PC'. He has also denied claims of copying Nintendo with the PS3's Dualshake controller. From the Gamasutra article: "In a certain way, I understand why people would say such things, but it is stupid, if you'll forgive me saying so ... We have already worked on it a long time, and Nintendo almost certainly has done likewise with something similar. It is perfectly naturally for two companies to work on identical devices. It's like that with technology." Must be nice to live in fantasy land.

256M RAM Supercomputer??? by fujiman · 2006-06-01 04:08 · Score: 4, Informative

Well, the PS3 has a whopping 256 Megs of RAM (since they *dedicated* the other 256 Megs to Video, not to be shared). Linux will run fine under 256, but it won't replace my PC.
