It was from Best Buy.

 

I said good chance. I dk how the employees are at the Best Buy u buy from but its probably that cuz ive read a lot about PS2 problems and Xbox problems and the only problem i remember from PS2 is that the old versions lasers can get dust if u dont dust off the vents and it could make it not read the disc. Only problem i have ever seen or read about for a PS2. I had a 30000 R version of PS2 and it happened to it cuz it got to much dust in the vents. Only problem i ever had with it. Ive been to a lot of gaming sites and thats the only problem ive ever read bout the PS2.

 

I still have my launch PS2, never had a problem. It's all luck, no matter what company you go with.

 

PS3, Playstation has the best games and Gran Turismo is a sure for playstation, so I'm all in, because of this game and only it's licsensing to PLaystation.

I had both of those systems. I loved Altered Beast in Sega Genesis

 

look at those graphics!!! hos do they make it soo real!

ahh, the good old days...

 

Actually, imo Forza is a better racing game than GT.

 

Good B.S. never dies. Will you PLEASE quit posting unpublished, unsubstantiated performance claims. I want too see YOUR results of a head to head comparison. If you can't provide them, quit telling me which system will kick which's hiney. If you want to engage in some speculative discussion about hardware, then that's fine. Let us begin.

First, you need to understand that there is a difference between processor cores and extra processing "elements." Sony has a single core chip. Not 7, not 8, not 9. The CELL has a tested output of around 200-250Gflop. Sony's own posted numbers state 218 gflops of total floating point performance. That's it! Stop buying into the hype. The Xbox 360's PowerPC processor has three symetric cores with documented performance of over a 1 Tflop. That's not some "on paper" or "in theory" spec.

Now here come's Sony with a new claim that its GRAPHICS core adds on an additional 1.8Tflop of processing power for a total of 2Tflop. Remarkable! Now GPU's can "add" processing power. Reminds me of thost those Hyper-threading P4 guys that think their pentuims have TWO processors. As for Sony, I haven't seen a better marketting swindle since Bose's "better sound through research" campaign (ask around).

Since neither system has been released yet, we are all limited to speculation at this point, but I think you will find, when the dust has settled, that the Xbox has a superior processing solution, while Sony is up to it's usual marketing ploys. Remember the "emotional engine" hype vs. the posted performance numbers? Enough said.

p.s. since we're into the whole partisan thing, why not check out the lastest comparo from the vole at IGN

 

Impressive, to be sure. Now lets wait and see what the real game ends up looking like. In the meantime, might I suggest a little taste of Oblivion and a review here

 

Purple Hayz, glad to see someone else on board with the X. PS2 was a fine console, but I have a tendancy to become loyal to things. ex: Mustangs, Xbox. Also glad to see another Elder Scrolls fan. Can't wait for Oblivion. I bought Morrowind because it was 20 bucks and looked cool and I loved it.

I agree that people need to realize that having the power on paper doesn't mean anything untill you can compare them head to head. That is part of the reason I like AMD. They are the underdog if you will, yet in my opinion they make better processors.

O, and has anyone played Truxton for Sega?

 

Well, then we'll have to wait and see. That IGN link proves absolutely nothing seeing as it was actually a letter written to IGN BY MICROSOFT. Obviously they are going to spin it so it sounds more in their favor. We CAN agree, however, that Nintendo is going to have some difficulty in the upcoming console war. I still say they should resort to software only. (e.g. Sega)

 

:shock: BLASPHEMY!

I love Nintendo and seeing them do software only would be a disaster imo.

 

Bring back Atari!!!

 

 

MAN!
Altered Beast......

I also loved Golden Axe...
AND owened a Turbo Grafix 16.

STILL playing mario.

 

YES. I am sad... I can't find mine. :cry:

 

Turbo grafix was next gen when I first saw it lol, Each time something new came out I would always say "it doesnt get any better than this"
I am very fortunate to have had parents who bought consoles when I was small. Whats cooler is that when I was 6 I battled my dad in Tecmo World Cup for the NES, and now I battle him in Fifa 2005 @ 18. How technology changes makes me very happy. Usually

 

golden ax kicked hiney! i love that game. its around here somewhere :scratch:

 

The original Sim City for the Super Nintendo.......Man when my daughter was born, I spent DAYS playing it.

I also (don't laugh) OWNED mario paint!

Now I like PC sim games(the sims, the tycoon games).

 

I've been talking to a bunch of people areound my school many of whom own a Xbox... all of whom now want a PS3. IMO Xbox's only hope is Halo, hence the reason they're releasing it to compete with the ps3. Unless Halo 3 is super good... I dont see Microsoft making a Xbox 3...
