Out of the Blue

So the extra week between the close of the playoffs and the Super Bowl is over, so with "the big game" a week off, the hype will begin in earnest. That said I am trying my best to ignore the fact that today is the seventh anniversary of the Giant's being dismantled by the Ravens in Super Bowl XXXV. Ouch.

I assume when you say "better hardware" you're not talking GPU. The only flaw with the 360's hardware is the core system, having a system with no HD was a terrible mistake. However, it's GPU is better than the PS3's and I don't consider the blueray drive as making the PS3 a better gaming system. The GPU is the most important thing for gaming and Sony screwed that pooch with their investment in cell. By better hardware...I mean across the board. The PS3 Cell is more powerful than the 360's, and would be best compared as a multi-core system compared to the 360's single-core. http://www.gamepro.com/sony/ps3/games/features/158468.shtml 360 has no hard drive. You already stated that. Blu-Ray drive not a factor? Bullshit. Of course it's a factor. How about the DVD size limitations to the Blu-Ray size limitations. And of course the playback options...it was an extra $100 to get a HD-DVD drive peripheral to be able to do the same. But what I was REALLY referring to...How about the once publicized 30% hardware fail rate on the 360! 30 fucking percent! As someone mentioned in a thread the other day about the PS3/360...how does a company stay in business with a failure rate that high? People have gone through anywhere from 2 to 8 systems in just over 2 years. ---------------------------------------------------- Currently fragging in The Witcher, Burnout Paradise, COmpany of Heroes, Team Fortress 2 Join the "Blues News" Steam Community Group. http://steamcommunity.com/groups/bluesnews/
