PS3 is mad hot

Did T-mac just get posterized? Dwyane was all over him on that dunk. Btw, can you miss a shot on PS3?? Seriously though, that was a very nice clip.

Does look good but the begining exmaple was lame. The PS2 over 5 years old, and the guy wasn't programmed to move his feet, thats really thier fault, not the machine's. I wonder how much different it would look on the 360 ?

Wow, what a bundle of lies. Go play whatever lame ass basketball sports game, and their head follows the ball, you can move in more then 8 directions, and they dont slide around like that. God damn I hate EA.

how bout they just do a side-by-side with ps3 and xbox 360 then you tell me which one is better... untill you do that, don't talk

lol pathetic, absolutly pathetic, comparing it to a crippled ps2 demo, crippled by them i might add, typically EA crapness, end of the day ps3 and 360 are graphically pretty much identical, and the ps2 is a stupid comparison, especially when they deliberatly make it look so awful like in that video. Electronic Arts, Pirate Don't Purchase.

360 500 MHz, 1 TFLOPS 48 billion shader operations per second 24 billion dot products per second 40 GFLOPs 16-bit programmable shaders Unified Shaders, SM3.0+ 10 MB eDRAM (internal bandwidth of 256GB/s) PS3 RSX 550 MHz, 1.8 TFLOPS 74.8 billion shader operations per second (100 billion with CPU) 28.6 billion dot products per second 1455 GFLOPs 256-bit programmable shaders Distinct Pixel & Vertex Shaders, SM3.0 There, now shut up.

i just hate playstation all together the graphics on it is llike super mario sunshine nintendo rule retards

Cory, if those are the real PS3 specs, then why does xbox still say that the 360's GPU is more powerful and more capable than the RSX?
13
Would you expect them to say the opposite? Another marketing term for you all: Puffery puffery is saying something in a promotion that may not be true, but is not exactly testable. Like "New better flavor," or "More taste than Bud light." It's completely legal, and understood, that companies use puffery as a form of promotion. I don't have a copy whatever you are quoting, but more powerful and capable are statements of puffery, that's why you see every truck in commercials claiming to be the most powerful and capable.
14
Oh, and those ARE the real PS3 specs.

Okay, all you little paid off xbox 360 pirates need to shut up and leave the ps3 alone. I'm tired of xbox paying people off, as well as CELEBRATIES, to make the ps3 look bad. grow up microsoft. And all you people who are fans of the xbox 360, it's obvious you only like it for the price. The graphics are NOT next gen. PS3's first line of games totally STOMP the xbox 360's first lines, AND later lines! The ps3 has UNBELIEVABLE potential to makes extraordinary games, but in the first phase of marketing, you can barely see it yet (not saying they don't look amazing, becuase they do, but they will get so much better!!). The xbox 360 had a hideous line up, do any of you dick heads remember that!?!? Since the xbox's games are getting better, how much better do you think the ps3 games will get when THEY get time to unlock the system's potential? Bottom line, I'm going for the ps3 lite, since I'm a casual gamer. Only 100 more than the xbox "360 bucks of crap." The 40 is for their sweet pockets of income. I'm bashing microsoft because microsoft ppl are bashing my supported system. I don't go to their lame news postings, and bash them, but then again, playstation doesn't pay off people to say what they want. Anyone bashing the xbox 360 just has common sense; the 360 is just a sucky system. I'd love a side by side show of the xbox 360 and ps3. We'll wait until ps3 unlocks ITS potential. Then we can take all the xbox 360 owners, tell them "I told you so," wrap them up in a huddled circle and "PAAAY OOOFFFF" (hint hint microsfot) Chuck Norris to kick them out into space, where they can shoot off "alllllll the aliens they'd ever want." That's the the xbox ever offers anyways, so I'm sure they'll be happy. Enjoy your virtual reality, since you don't want to ADMIT to reality, noticing that the ps3 is better than the 360. Maybe if the xbox 360 'occupied more of your time,' you wouldn't scout these ps3 postings, and bash them. Rock on sony. I cannot wait for the launch!

Im gonna love the looks on the ps3 fans faces when they soon realize there is no big difference between ps3 and 360 graphics. I bought an Xbox 360 and going by the video above both games look exactly the same. I would love to have a 360 ps3 challenge to see if anyone could tell the difference. And so what if 360 had a crap 1st line, they got all the top games. Alls ps3 has thats worth buying it would be GTA....o wait, they dont even have that anymore do they. So that leaves Xbox with Gears of War ,which will be an immediate hit, Halo 3, GTA 4, with the same graphics as ps3...Anyone who wastes money on the ps3 is either rich or stupid...or both.

Gaming Guru: Do you read the comments before yours? There IS a big difference between the graphics engines of PS3 and 360. Your little quip will be turned around on you when you wake up and realize the difference. Another big difference you, and most people, over looked. Blu-ray. Does your 360 have any next-era DVD system in it? That's rhetorical. As far as contract exclusivity; those contracts change all the time and when the companies that are currently exclusive with Mircosoft wake up to how big of a market they are missing out on by not selling PS3 compatable games, it'll soon change again.

It may have a better graphical engine but it still comes out looking the same, and if you think otherwise then you havnt compared. I on the other hand have and you will soon see that just because ps3 has bigger numbers it still comes out looking the same. So do me a favor and take a picture of your face expression when you realize the truth. Oh you ps3 fans are as loyal as madden fans with the madden and 2k games. Everyone knew that espn 2k5 had madden blown out but didnt want to admit it. i understand how you have to be loyal to your system just take a look at the truth and i promise i wont be angry when you buy a 360 instead of that other system.

You want to see a really good demo of what the ps3 is capable of? Then go to ign.ps3.com and go to videos, and click on the tiger woods pga tour 2007 tech demo, and tell me that that doesn't look nearly exactly like tiger woods.
21
You have compared? You have a PS3 already? Ignoring the numbers is idiocy. It's simple math. 360 cannot be as strong as PS3. remember the difference between Grand Theft auto III, and san Andreas? Once the capabilities of PS3 are unlocked, I hope you take a picture of your face and send it to 'excited'
22
LOL... im sorry, im supposed to believe thats the graphics on the ps3..........LOL... not only does it look like the 360 but the 360 is only 2006, how pathetic. not only that but thats not even gameplay..wonder why they didnt show gameplay hmm not confident in their system? just cause a trailer looks good you think thats how the graphics are gonna look? you guys dont know anything at all do you?
23
hey who wants to see a screenshot of tiger woods from the ps3? This screenshot was in realtime on the ps3, and you can get it from me on at jmreily@earthlink.net
24
Wow your logic is so off, guru. Drop the little fanboy attitude. Of course it's a PS3. They'd show you gameplay if the game was ready for development. CLEARLY, it's unfinished and their bragging about how good things are going. That's the point of these little press conf's.
25
See i might be a fanboy..but im a fanboy of the right system. Honestly i want you guys to sit down and compare graphics and tell me if you see over $100.00 worth of difference. If you do then buy the system i could care less, i know i got the better deal. And just for you Cory i got you some facts to look over have fun with it because im done talking to you guys, i cant stand listening to a bunch of idiots http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/617/617951p1.html Punch that in and take a closer look on how the systems compare. R.I.P. PS3.
