Has anyone else seen the hardware stats for the Xbox 360? It has a 3.2 GHz TRIPLE CORE processor! I mean I sell computers and the big thing is the new Pentium Dual Cores but I mean this has a TRI-CORE processor. Also the ATI chipset is better than even the X850....like a generation after it. DAMN! All for only $400......

Meh the real question is, have you seen the PS3 Stats, an 8 Core CPU, with 512MB of system RAM, Wireless controllers, you name it it has it, not to mention a GPU that is about 3.5 Times faster then the 7800GTX. Now THATS a Console.

yes and sony is selling it at a price not meant to be in every household. Well thats rumor so far, but what will the end price be? We don't know yet, but from what i have been hearing it is prolly gunna be damn close to the XB360 Pricing. Besides i would pay more for the PS3 then the XB360, becasue i know the games i am gunna really wanna play (not just PC ports and Halo) are gunna be on PS3. |

to be competative thy will have to, sell near xbox price, angel, but the interviews i've seen are saying otherwise. this may be some kind of marketing ploy and its 6 to 8 months before delivery anyway so again you're right. I've also heard no hard drives for ps3 or a low end version with things missing.

No HD selling with teh XB 360 either, but to be honest i watched all the press releases and have been keeping up with both systems very closely and so far i am really not impressed with the Xb so far, it really doesn't seem all that great so far, i mean i really have no been all that impressed with anything that i have seen, personally the PS3 has been much more impressive so far, so i dunno only time will tell, but as of now the PS3 is where my vote is.

Yea but the problem with the PS3 is that they decided to use Blueray discs. While being high quality they are VERY pricy so we're looking at probably at least a $500 price tag (that's US dollars). The XBox is starting @ $400 and I wouldn't be surprised if they drop the price to like $350 and/or release Halo 3 the day that the PS3 is released.

man i could give a shit about halo, and as for blue ray HELL YEAH, more storage and higher quality material, gimme some of that action, and as of right now we don't know the price so its all speculation, but personally i feel the XB 360 was rushed, i mean the XB is just now hitting its stride with great games, and now they are shooting it in the foot b anouncing the XB360, bad move IMHO, As they could have gotten another great year outta the XB. But meh whatever, i know what i am more impressed about, and i am gunna wait till they release priceing before i start yelling at sony about the price, because i know for a fact that developers are already bitching at MS for not putting in HD DVD or Blue Ray support for the XB360, as the Hi def content is taking too much spacce on a Normal DVD. So good move on sony's part by thinking ahead, i mean you have to understand, these consoles are supposed to live for about 5 years in a cycle, so yeah they better damn well have some new tech, who cares if it costs a bit more money, in the long run its smarter.

I talked to a Microsoft rep today and he said that because of the price going up that PS3 was going to be dropping the hard drive. That sucks cuz I hate memory cards. Hopefully they'll add support for it.

LOL, did he also tell you that due to the price that Xbox 360 was also dropping the HD as well? Its not being included in the base model, if you wanna pay another 150$ and get the premium then its in there, same as the PS3, both will have base models and premium models, so really what the Xbox guy told you was a moot point.
