My conclusion--Stop making polls about this because both sites are completely bias Thanks! hah

[Scotracer]

Yes most of the members may be biased, but I know for a fact that the 360 is superior to the PS3. Thank you and goodnight.

[no anaesthesia]

i would seriously like that the conversation topic PS3 vs XB360 would be banned atleast till the ps3 is released bcause now it's just useless rambling and trying to prove the other side wrong with useless tidbits about some tech details GIVE IT A REST thank you

Does anyone truly believe in their heart that at the 2006 E3 Sony delivered on all of the promises made to loyal consumers at the 2005 E3? I know I sure don’t believe that! Sony obviously over promised at the 2005 E3 and under delivered at the 2006 E3. This is the reason why the value of Sony stock dropped $3 billion at E3 and 83% of people surveyed said Microsoft had the best E3 show, while only 5% voted for Sony.

Lots of things are a matter of opinion, but how about this: At the 2005 E3, Sony said the PS3 would work with seven controllers at a time and have two HDMI ports, but at the 2006 E3 we found out that the PS3 will only work with four controllers at a time, and it will only be compatible with one HDMI port...unless you are evaluating the $499 version, which doesn't even have an HDMI port.

I am not trying to be a fanboy or sound like someone saying mean things about Sony or any Playstation product. I am simply stating the facts as they are. The fact of the matter is that Sony over promised at the 2005 E3, and then under delivered at the 2006 E3.

This type of over promising and under delivering is EXACTLY what Microsoft said would happen when they compared the Xbox 360 to the Playstation 3 in 2005 after Sony announced the specifications of the Playstation 3. Microsoft was willing to compare the Xbox 360 to the PS3 in a way that looked at Xbox 360's specifications conservatively, while looking at Sony's exaggerated specifications as if they were real. Sony clearly didn't live up to many of those specifications, but this comparison definitely shows that the Xbox 360 is superior in terms of things that apply to videogames. Here is the hyperlink to that website: http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/617/617951p1.html

When it comes to mathematical Floating Point calculations that determine where a rock will land when a nuclear weapon explodes, there is no doubt that the Playstation 3 is the most powerful system. However, that sort of processing is very rarely included in videogames. The Xbox 360 has approximately three times the General Processing Power of the Playstation 3, because the PS3 only has one processor running at 3.2 Ghz, whereas the Xbox 360 has three of them! This is the main reason why games like John Madden Football 2007, Sonic the Hedgehog, and The Darkness look and sound noticeably better on the Xbox 360.

The Cell CPU of the PS3 is based on Floating Point calculations, which limits the ability of a programmer to apply resources where they are needed. Programmers are not always able to apply Floating Point power to videogames, which means that there is always going to be a large percentage of PS3 power that is not being used. The three Xbox 360 Power PC CPU’s offer General Processing Power that can be applied wherever programmers want it to, in any situation. This huge difference in General Processing Power is a major advantage for the Xbox 360.

Also, the Xbox 360 has better looking texture quality, superior sound, and significantly more advanced RAM. RAM is crucially important to videogame quality. The PS3 uses outdated RAM technology that is not unified, just like the Playstation 2, Playstation, Nintendo 64, and Sega Saturn. The Xbox 360 uses revolutionary new Unified RAM that is far more efficient. These are the main reasons why games released on both the Xbox 360 and the PS3 such as John Madden Football 2007, Sonic the Hedgehog, and The Darkness look and sound noticeably better on the Xbox 360.

Please take the time to look at this comparison between the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Every single thing that Microsoft said would happen in this article from 2005 has happened in 2006.

Unless you're a developer and you've had your hands on dev kits for both the Xbox 360 & the PS3, then you have absolutely no idea which one is superior. All this speculation is crazy. Let's just agree that we love the 360, and I'm sure the PS3 will be a great console as well.

You do know they cut the other HDMI input to cut costs right? because it was useless in the first place...and well as the 7 controllers, only 4 was needed so they cut the other three. and i was at E3 and i can tell you that those games look exactly the same on both consoles, you could not tell which is which if they were side by side.

[AIR MCNAIR 9]

Agreed, a 2nd HDMI port is useless right now, maybe the next next-gen will make use of 2, but not right now. Plus now with ONLINE gaming, most people, including myself, do not have the guys over to play. We just play online, so 4 controllers is plenty. But point is they said one thing and did another and that is never good.

but they never said it would ship with 2 HDMI and 7 controller access. they said from the begining that the unit was just a prototype. they showed 2 HDMI because they wanted to show the processing power of the cell chip, thats its capable of out putting to 2 HDMI signals.

[Grindstone]

mike didn't even hit up all the issues, just two, namely: the 7 controllers bit and the two HDMI ports. Oh well, we've hashed this argument out so many times now. Perhaps it is best that we let this topic rest up a bit until November, well, October, when TGS happens, because at this point, all we have is a fine Xbox 360, and a PS3 vaporware that could change even more before years' end.

awww, someone erased the last few posts.

nah its not offending me, i was joking too. i dont care what anyone says on thins site so it doesnt matter, im just not going to go out like a punk. but no hard feelings, i could care less if sony went bankrupt. i like what MS puts out and i like what sony puts out. i dont alienate myself from something because (blank) made it, because if you do that you miss out on some good games.

[CrAzYAmerican12]

The games make or break the system, not a systems specs. How fun is it if you're playing a ****y game in 1080p? Does it make it any better? Not at all.

"PS3 vaporware that could change even more before years' end."

Isn't that the freakin truth. I'm not sure what else they will find to copy, but it'll be something. OR cutting something out. Besides, they gotta be cutting some things out to fit it in that case, or make the case bigger.

[Scotracer]

Well, now that Sony have lost a few of their exclusives, and will no doubt lose some more before launch, I can't see the PS3 holding onto a market, where the games that are multiformat can be played on a 360 (which is cheaper in the first place). It is all down to the customers, and if the games are going to be £60 I, and most others will not spend it on a game, no matter how good the DVD format is.

They need to cut something.....considering the fact that they said it weighed in at around 11lbs at E3 (compared to 7.1lbs for the 360) this thing is going to end up weighing in as much as my Sony STR-DE898.

[Grindstone]

Hey Zro, would you happen to know the current dimensions of the PS3? I see ample pictures of it looking similar in size to the 360, but no actual measurements.

If it does wiegh in at 11 pounds, then it'll be an expensive weight training set too.

[Zrolimit]

Let me see if I can find some notes and I'll get back with you on that. We all remember how heavy the XBOX was and it weighed in at around 8-8.5lbs. PS3 is gong to be a hefty baby.

Nevermind...found them....seems like it will be just a tad larger than the 360.

PS3: 12.6" x 9.45" x 3.15"
XBOX360: 12.17" x 10.16" x 3.27"

These are supposed to be official specs but I coulda swore the PS3 was at least a couple of inches longer and about an inch taller? I think the original prototype they had was a bit taller and longer, but after reviewing the pics it seems that they shrunk it down considerably to where the length is about 2 1/2 CDs placed side by side. Oh well....

[Grindstone]

Are those the specs from E3 `05? Well, wait... as I recall, the PS3 will have the brick built in, so that may be the weight gain.

Hmm, I guess we just need more definitive info on all this. I was lead to believe the PS3 would be significantly larger. Wait and see.

[DMB14]

I doubt those dimensions will stay the same unless they take something out of the PS3. Currently the PS3's guts can't fit inside its shell. This isn't good considering Sony has a little less than 6 months to get 2 million consoles shipped (or whatever they're planning).

my 360's name is jeff and that shal be his name! FOREVER! untill george come.. AKA Wii , who will win, jeff or george
