Clicky


Don't think this has been posted yet. I'm not really a fan of the PS series but thought I'd post it.

That'll make online gaming with the PS3 interesting.

Sweet *** sweet. Why even bother getting an Intel or an AMD computer? Get this.

'Cause in a few months, there will be faster chips. ;)

Still cool. Finally, a console that actually has balls.

Add USB support for a KB and Mouse, and allow it to be played on a moniter at higher than 640x480 and then we'll talk.

Looks like a starburst. I could eat something like that by accident.

I hope you die, slowly.

I'm looking forward to this, and to the PSP. Hey, even at 250, I'm willing to buy it (comes with a demo disk and 32mb ramstick.) Later on this year they (hopefully) will release a standalone pack.

Is it too much to ask for a demo, at least, of GT4 to be packaged with the PSP? We shall see...

That would make it a computer. Which you already have. Which you are a total fanboy of. So why would you want to buy a second computer?

Are you missing the point, or am I missing the sarcasm? :confused:

I would play console games if they had a keyboard and mouse, and be much better at them... It's just a control preference...

Higher screen resolution is good too.

Yeah, but you don't go into every thread having to do with consoles going "OMG PCS ROX LOL CONSOLE SUXXORS"

Consoles were made for a few select types of games, and they do extremely well at them. For instance, you can't really play the SNES games as effectively with a keyboard/mouse as you can with a controller (my fav is the PS2 controller ;))

Or the Logitech Rumblepad 2. Like a PS2 controller, but a little bigger, vibrates better, and has soft rubber grip on it.

So? That's just the die, not the whole chip. The dies on AMD and Intel chips are similarly as small. They just show theirs without all the copper and ceramic.

The dies on this wafer (what looks to be a 12") look enormous.

I never really liked console games much after playing PC games. PC games are far more advanced graphics-wise and are more customizable. console games just feel old and dated, plus they are simplified all to hell.

IMO, the only game that makes the console experience worth it is San Andreas, but that will soon change with the PC port that is in the works.

I hope the graphics look better on the PC port. When is it due out?
