   Oh yeah.. I'm getting a PS3....
The PS3 will crush your computer according to Sony's Phil Harrison. Quote:From Harrison's mouth to your ears"The PlayStation 3 is a computer. We do not need the PC."I wonder how much truth is behind this seemingly arrogant interview. Does Sony really believe that it will crush the competition? Or is this more PR spin to convince everyone that they're not losing their grip (on reality...)?

That's all the nice things I can say about the PS3.   ;Quote:Sony:"We define the standard for the man-machine interface for playing games."Since when? It was always Nintendo; the only thing Sony has ever, ever, had was good non-sony made games. Now Microsoft has those.Want grapics, good gameplay? Go with Microsoft.Want creative interfaces, good gameplay? Go with Nintendo.Want a partial mix of all above? Go with Sony. Just be prepared to pay. Check, visa, blood of your firstborn, money order, or cash are all aceptable forms of payment. Make payable to the order of 'Sony' and sign on the dotted line.[smile]Sony isn't too bad, but there are much better options out there. Only in comparison are they not coming off to great. Just my opinion.   ;WRONG;  I hope Assasins Creed is ported to 360.   ;Quote: In particular he said the Linux-based operating system on the console's hard drive will have enough processing power and non-gaming functionalities to render traditional PCs--most of which use a form of Microsoft's Windows OS--moot in the home. "We believe that the PS3 will be the place where our users play games, watch films, browse the Web, and use other [home] computer functions," said Harrison. "The PlayStation 3 is a computer. We do not need the PC."Hmm. It has something based on Linux, perhaps only at its core, that lets me use the Internet and play DVDs (basically), and this is why I should use it instead of my PC.  Well, I'm sure one could for some things, but the point is still unsubstantiated due to the software many of us use to work.  But, I wouldn't expect anything less from Sony.  They really, really like to brag.It'd be interesting if Apple ever decided to work with Nintendo or another company in developing a game console.  Not saying the results would be good or bad, but it could be interesting.
