Re: PS3 To Make PCs Obsolete
[ QUOTE ] Well, as a systems engineer I can tell you that if you can put linux on this thing it would run games better than 75% of the machines out there. I'm going by the HL2 hardware surveys. I can also tell you that consoles are far less likely to need servicing than a PC. What he is saying is quite possible, if they… -
Re: PS3 To Make PCs Obsolete
What some people are forgetting is that the Cell isn't a PPC with 7 cores, it's a PPC (downgraded version for embedded systems, roughly 3-10 times slower on unoptimized code compared to the PPC970) with seven additional vector units. That'd be one hell of a port job, you can't just multithread something and throw it at the… -

[ QUOTE ] As for the multicore thing, most games and apps these days take advantage of multicore. [/ QUOTE ] Like what? [ QUOTE ] As for the 7 core's being downgraded, they are not in terms of speed, but are in terms of instruction sets and prescision maths. [/ QUOTE ] That's still terms of speed. Just because the clock… -
Re: PS3 To Make PCs Obsolete
Ps3 is going to sell, but I'd be surprised if it "won" the next console generation. If Wii does everything it's supposed to do and as intuitively as it's supposed to, it will obviously rock. As far as ps3 vs 360 though, there is absolutely no way anything sony does for online will compete against what Live Anywhere has to… -
Re: PS3 To Make PCs Obsolete
Will it come with a wireless keyboard, because I'm not ready to replace my computers interface device with a controller. Do they plan to make it upgradable? Serriously if you plan to WOW me away from my PC you at least need to wow me... -
Re: PS3 To Make PCs Obsolete
So lets say they do make the PS3 so that it can replace the 'average' home PC. They may be biting off way more than they can chew, what happens when the 'average' user does use it to browse the web and download such? I'm sure there will be viruses, popups and such tailered to the PS3, is it then going to be sony's… -
Re: PS3 To Make PCs Obsolete
Hawken not really. Whether he will admit as such or not. The audience willing to make a ps3 the replacement for the casual PC use wont be a gamer in the first place. Sony is going about this all wrong. First, this new audience they mention wont neccesarily want a gaming machine as their main replacement. Those people who… -
Re: PS3 To Make PCs Obsolete
Ps3 has usb ports if i'm not mistaken. So you would'nt need your controller. I also would'nt be surprised if they had voice input eventually. As for the multicore thing, most games and apps these days take advantage of multicore. As for the 7 core's being downgraded, they are not in terms of speed, but are in terms of… -
Re: PS3 To Make PCs Obsolete
I could see it replacing the typical PC, as Hawken was mentioning. Why have a giant PC on your entertainment center, or even on a desk, if all you're going to do is browse the net and play games that are available on the PS3. I honestly think that the PS3 and the 360 are going to start carrying every game that is available… -
Re: PS3 To Make PCs Obsolete
Photo management is simple, upload the photos to a cvs service on the ps3 online system, buy and have them sent to you door or the local cvs in an hour. Printing would be fairly simple too on a networked printer with the right drivers. or sony can offer a printer option. printing is always an option on pc's, same deal…
