Is the 360 going to be faster? I was reading something that said it had 3 processors running at 3.2 ghz.

But the video card is only 500mhz?

it has a triple core PPC running at 3.2ghz, which isn't quite the same as three processors. i would be pretty surprised if the x360 was more powerful than the ps3.

whatever you do, for the love of god, do not get a first gen system. especially if you are going to get a 360, wait until they put blu ray or hddvd in it...

Agreed.

I won't. Although I did get a first-gen PS2 and it's still going strong.

Just a note, even if they do put HD DVD in it (doubt BluRay since that's a Sony-backed technology), it won't allow devs to make larger games. It'll just mean you can watch movies on HD-DVD.

Are you sure?
There has been an awful lot of Mario games for Nintendo for the last 20 years.

I guess I've been more wrong before

Halo
Mario

12.4 million halo/2 units sold vs.... 40m JUST for SMB1....

I'm sure that halo2 had more preorders than any mario ever did... definitely one of the most anticipated games ever

PS3, because XBox 360 is 2nd generation.

yep.

there won't be any good games at launch anyways. all the good stuff will be delayed til spring at the earliest (see PSP). might as well wait.

Re: Xbox 360 vs. PS3
 

PS3 will clearly be the more powerful system, just because it's coming out later and will have an extra year or more of computing advances. Quality of games, of course, will be debatable, but in terms of calculations per second, PS3 wins.

Re: Xbox 360 vs. PS3
 

yes, and halo 2 was by far a huge letdown.

the graphical glitches were just bullshit, after they took so long to make it.

heres the deal, the revolution and 360 are going to fight it out for best console, as more and more people find out about the revolution's amazing controller, and they get back their 3rd-party support.

Xbox brought a whole new group of gamers into the industry, and they will not lose the fan base.

PS3 will be damn near a non-entity, as their opening sales in America get spanked by the concurrent releease of halo 3.

If it sounds like Im a game nerd, I am. Im in school to make video games, so I study the market. Alot.
