Hey, just wandering if its a good product to be buying, im not interested in blu-ray.XTREMEGAMER5

If you're not interested in BD, then HDDVD isnt going to help you much either.

(8 core processor is way out there, they hardly program for two chips as it is)GlassDominion

No, YOU clearly have no idea what you're talking about (not the 're there btw, not an insult but a helping hand as I used to do that as well). Cell has a single CPU core. That core however has many units.

I notice some people complaining about page tearing in certain games. This is because their TV's have a low response time, right? Just curious, as I recently ordered a new TV with an 8ms reponse time.bohemian_bob

"Screen tearing" is when the GPU outputs the data to the display device without any syncronisation. It has nothing to do with the monitor or TV at all.

if have a few Australian friends but when i try to play with them the whole game turns into a lag fest. I live in the UK and can play with people in the US, Europe and parts of Asia with no lag at all, but Australia and New Zeland lag like mad. How come the have the worst connection.clyde46

Several things. 1 opposite side of the earth, 2 they're in the middle of the ocean and rely on a single cable to the US for bandiwdth 3. There is monopolies there which severly restrict upload speed meaning servers there are almost impossible for many.

whoa man. half way to being photo realistic. don_juvin

They're getting there.

Thatsa screen shot?! *drools*Shade-Blade

Yeah, tho its only at 720p vs 1080p which it runs at. I think both games look good but I see no lighting issues.

I dunno, GTs lighting looks fine to me.
