This thread is as pointless as it gets.

Uncharted, MGS4, Mass Effect and Gears - all look mighty spectacular without a doubt.

Untill someone proffesional comes and tells us something the n00b eye cant distinguish, this is really irrelevent.

[QUOTE="osan0"]except the 360 isnt crushing the PS3....far from it. worldwide wise PS3 is catching up. so theres no direct correlation between hackability and sales success.-GhostMLD-

MS bans those with hacked 360s, thats why....

and Euopeans and japanese people buying PS3, NOT because its a better games console but that its due to PS2 brand loyalty, is nothing to be proud of.

What kind of crap is that?

Why cant Europeans buy their console according to personal perferences?

What's to be jealous?

It's coming to both 360 and ps3 anyway...

Hackable systems are mostly factors for 3rd world countries.

Where I live we have something around 89% of all ps2 as modified.

Then again everything here costs 100% more than the states - electronics in particulary.

In the end it's a matter of perferences.

I dont really think it's a sign of desperation... just business. I mean, heck the 360 has been out for 3 years almost. It's about time for a 199 SKU.

Dang straight. Glad I cancelled that $349 60gb preorder now :P

Im glad I waited to.

Now do I want to get teh 60 gig at $299 or the Arcade $199 plus a Harddrive $49

I need some imput. Does anyone actually own the Arcade unit????

My friend does, but he just slapped on the 20gb HDD from his old rrod'ed pro. Its exactly the same other than lacking a hard drive.

No hdmi too.

Now sure how exciting this is really suppose to be.

It's the freaking Arcade ffs!

Being Dur-Rocky for sure.

Epic fail.

I've been watching 720P and 1080P films for a year now via TVersity.

Needless to say it's impossible to do so on 360, right? I have hardly had any issues with watching

any formats on ps3. You just dont know what ur doing.

"The only real advantage the ps3 has is the extra storage space"

He also says the Xbox360 has more memory available to use for development apart from the extra 10MB edram of the 360, because Sony's system uses more memory in non-gaming tasks. Is he wrong? or is the ps3 really simply just the weaker hardware?

he is reluctant to work on a architecture he doesn't understand... good job with the making a duplicate thread btw.

I don't see any duplicate... You think Carmack doesn't understand the architecture? are you serious? do you know who this guy is?

Yeah he's a developer who never made a single game on ps3 before.

I mean come onnn, you cant look at mgs4 and uncharted and say it's that bad...

But he never said it was "bad", he said it was not as good as the xbox360 hardware.

Dude, he almost squealed like a little girl in that interview.
