Mario Galaxy is the best reviewwed game of the year across the board, it won the most GOTY awards as well. It is certinaly not just a gamespot phenominom.
Vista is in a whole different league when it comes to system hogging. I have 2 gigs of RAM and I've never seen my useage meter drop below 40% while running Vista.
As for in-game XMB it has more to do with Sony implementing it than any RAM problems. Thats my understanding anyway.

With you on the whole Vista thing, but it is only complicated for SOny to implement it because of the amount of system resources the operating system needs to run. Having it run in the background while a game is running (like the 360 does) hampers the system too much.
I also have a feeling it will mean that when XMB is eventually accessable from within a game Sony will not be able to back date it to older titles.
Yeah, in order for me to feel like mine and other's time spent on these forums is worthwhile I have to live in my little world where what I say on these forums is more than just the worthless opinion of some random gamer. Thanks for breaking my illusion:Pespoac
From what i've read over time. The PS3 OS when it launched took 90MB of ram, then someone on SW set me straight with a link don't know if it was the truth or not but after one of the updates the OS only took 50mb of ram. Citizen_Zero
Sony wouldnt be allowed to deny MS the use of Blu_Ray it would be seen as anti competitive. Nor would they want to, no better way to ensure profitibility than having your fingers in your competitors cookie jar. Tis why MS owns so much of Apple, and EA own so much of Ubisoft.
