My Review:

What can I say? They will be a good/ish specification at this time of course!! The problem is when they are actually released!! They’ll totally loose their great speed and graphics by the end of 2005/beginning of 2006! I mean by then 3.2ghz will not exactly be great, and already 512MB Ram is sucky. What i’ve always said about consoles: They are just non-upgradeable pc’s for people who can’t afford to maintain a high specification of pc! Sorry but thats prettey much fact. I already have all of the things on the specifications of both of the consoles on my PC and I have done for like 2 years! A 20GB Harddrive is actually prettey pathetic, must say i’m dissapointed.

 

Design - Personally I think they both look okay. Nothing special about them, wow they’re both silver (thats so 2 years ago!). They probably look better then the original versions, but of course that is the idea! I’m not totally critical of consoles, and I do like to play on them but you have to be critical of both if you want to get a good opinion overall.

    …i think u need to stop comparing consoles to cpu’s, because of course theirs going to be no compitition, consoles are really great for people who dont have a lot of time and money(the money part is questionable). So basically its for people who have lives, a 20 GB harddrive and 512MB of RAM in a CONSOLE; is groundbreaking Mr. ComputerNerd only two systems can boast it huh? So if your going to wright a review on two diffrent consoles….. talk about them and dont compair computers with ‘em. Even the old NES system was crap compaired to the computers of its day.

    The reason I compare a console to a computer is simple - they use very similar hardware and they are constructed in maybe a similar fashion (xbox’s more then ps2’s). You say consoles are for people who have a life. I’d say the oposite - you often find people who spend alot of time gaming on a console are also prettey dense. You can do a hell of a lot more on a pc then on a console and its going to stay that way.

    The main reason I compared PC’s with consoles, however, is because when I am asked why I don’t really play on consoles I say I play on the pc! That generates a bit of an argument and therefore I am in favor of PC’s as gaming platforms over consoles - that is just opinion based obviously there are arguments for and against.

    Wow…this is outdated.

    Just to update, this is the actual PS3 controller, the other was a prototype.

    All I know is I’m getting one (PS3, that is). :smile:

  8. Usayd Says:

    Yeah, the PS3 should beat the XBOX360 seeing as it is like a whole year newer and in terms of technology that means a lot!
