Search google, there are many articles out there that show how microsoft deliberately are selling out and not giving many units to stores for the first day. They told stores, either sell 20 on the first day, or don't sell any at all. They are doing this to get more publicity (it's already got enough publicity i dont see the point of this). They said that after the initial sellout there will be a steady stream of units to buy.

I HATE FF with a passion.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif So boring. Elder Scrolls > FF //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/imo.gif.3a57bcc70a4835dc53e86ffae1a0b041.gif

you go ahead and drop $500 for a PS3 when its launched. Halo 3 is scheduled to launch on PS3 launch...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif

I dont see how you thought that first pic was real. Look at the back ground grass plane, the road, the tires,....

400, but i'm guessing that you'll prolly want to buy 1 or 2 games when you buy it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif.

Umm...XBOX 360 will support 480p, 720p, and 1080i.
Also, the Killzone shit...is NOT real-time rendered. It was "an artists representation" of what programmers expect the game to look like. So, who gives a shit.

NG

yes for games, but as a progressive scan dvd player it still only plays in 480p. 720p is HD-DVD, which the xbox 360 does NOT support in playing of dvd movies.

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/word.gif.64b12e39f936af3b4fff38a1c0bd0244.gif Gaming is getting the to the point that you are not going to get the kind of graphic upgrades like there used to be. Where current processing is upgrading much much slower than it has for the past 10 years. And x2 again, game content is what makes or breaks a game, don't buy it just because it has good graphics //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif.


Blu Ray, not HD-DVD.

Blu Ray and HD-DVD are different. HD-DVD is still 9.4Gb of data, just 720p resolution. Blue Ray will be closer to 50Gb of data.

no.......................

actually yes. the ***** eye won't be able to distinct it very well, but the xbox 360 has a unified shader which will make graphics performance slightly better than non-unified shaders as in the ps3.

HD-DVD: about 15 GB Single Layer

Blu-Ray: about 25 GB Single Layer

Likely, the PS3 will use Blu-Ray (or at least a merging between HD-DVD and Blu-Ray as rumors have it) because Sony Entertainment endorsed the Blu-Ray format.

No...I'm still right. Each layer is 15 GB. You're just looking at 3-layer discs.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

Ya, I dunno what this has to do with anything though, i'm saying ps3 will be using blu-ray not HD-DVD, i'm not contesting sizes of the disks or anything.

actually yes. the ***** eye won't be able to distinct it very well, but the xbox 360 has a unified shader which will make graphics performance slightly better than non-unified shaders as in the ps3.

Doesn't look like ps3 has anti-aliasing either from what i've seen from gameplay screenshots, but then again that could just be early development without the anti-aliasing applied yet.

[puppie_chow 10+ year member]

There is no link, price has yet to be determined. Near everything regarding the PS3 is speculation these days.

Release is still set at Spring '06, but everyone knows it's gonna get pushed back, maybe as far back as '07.

Your guess is as good as mine...

Well, gameinformer had an article about the ps3 being $400 when it releases, and how they will actually lose a billion dollars in the first year because it will cost 470 or something to make, but the second years profits are expected to be like 1.5 billion because parts costs will be down. Sorry I cant get a link but it sure sounds to me like they are planning on 400.

 

[puppie_chow 10+ year member]

Unless I hear it announced by Sony.
