PS3 vs. Xbox 360

I took the time out to compare and contrast between the Xbox 360 & PS3 and I came to to this conclusion. Xbox 360 has a CPU FPS of 115.2 GFlops PS3 has a CPU FPS of 218 GFlops Xbox 360 has a GPU FPS of around 884.8 GFlops* PS3 has a GPU FPS of 1.8TFlops Xbox 360 has a combined FPS of 1TFlops PS3 has a combined FPS of 2.18TFlops Xbox 360 has a DVD-ROM PS3 has a BD-ROM Xbox 360 is WiFi ready PS3 is WiFi built-in Xbox 360 has 3 x USB 2.0 ports PS3 has 6 x USB 2.0 ports Xbox 360 has support for 4 wireless controllers PS3 has support for 7 wireless (Bluetooth) controllers Xbox 360 uses Memory Units PS3 uses MS Standard/Duo/Pro, SD standard/mini & Compact Flash Type I/II Xbox 360 has support for select Xbox1 games PS3 has support for PS1 & PS2 games Xbox 360 has support for 1 720p & 1080i display PS3 has support for 2 480p, 720p, 1080i & 1080p displays Note: * Derived from subtracting published Overall System Floating-Point Performance of 1TFlops with reported CPU GFlops Source: Wikipedia's PS3 Tech Specs Official Xbox 360 Fact Sheet Xbox 360's reported CPU GFlops
That's the most insightful comment I've seen in my parent's replies. I suspect it'll act as a WiFi router for those peripherals mentioned in the PS3 Wikipedia article.
I am not a TV salesperson. It's like the standard lifespan/upgrade cycle of a PC is 3 years or the standard lifespan/upgrade cycle of a Mac is 5 years. Your TV's ancient by _any_ standard. Is it even coloured?
The only way this issue will get resolved is when Sony will announce the capacity of the 2.5" HDD. Until then I think it is safe to assume that the HDD is included. If MS has 20GB stock Sony must double it to 40GB!
non-HDTVs like your 20 year old set is still supported by the Xbox 360 so long as it has the standard composite video cable (the one with the yellow insulated plug).
Standard lifespan of a TV is normally 8 years so I think it is high time for you to upgrade.
It is possible that some manufacturers are willing to take fractions of a cent markups as Sony seems to have a knack of outselling their competition for the past 2 console generations.
Thanks for posting it! A earlier release date may hurt Sony a bit but I dont think it'll by much. So long as Sony can market and hype it right it'll make a lot of people think twice before investing on "inferior" hardware.
Also check out the PS2.;)
Being first to market does help if your console's already that old. Sega's transition from Saturn(1995 in the US) to Dreamcast (1999 in the US) 4 years and was way too early while the PS2(2001 in the US) and PS3(2006 in...?) is 5 years and pretty much standard industry practice. The Xbox on the other hand was released in 2001 in the US while the Xbox 360 is slated to come out 2005, almost a 4 year gap if they'll deliver on November as rumored. Guess which one may flunk out?

...when most most of those protesting this "injustice" arent even from China.
Must be a slow news day on slashdot.
The only thing this accomplished is drive web traffic to a MSN site
I didnt read TFA either. :)
PCs are designed to be easily upgradeable so I really don't see a point to this PC Mini.
Yipeeeeeee!
I can't wait to get my BitTorrent copy!
Messa so scared...
Our diploma mills produce tens of thousands of IT grads each year. They know all their Microsoft ABCs! Di pa kami mabantot!

He probably is reffering to the US. HDTV will only be prevailant and replaced SD displays so long as they're cheap.

As I said before I got the info from Wikipedia.
Unlike the PlayStation and PlayStation 2 systems, Sony appears to have
chosen publicly-available application programming interfaces and technologies for the
PlayStation 3. The current list of open standards Sony has chosen
includes:
3D models.
acceleration," such as matrix calculations.
The list of standards they are reported to be considering includes:
It doesnt fail in the sense you're trying to make others think.
That's why it's selective backward compatibility. :P

The 8th SPE is for reduncancy if one of the "active" SPEs fail.

Sadly the PS3 appears not to support the PS2 card.I guess it cost too much?
