Samsung's in the 90nm 512Mb XDR RAM slot of the PS3

Samsung has won a seat inside the Sony Playstation 3 with the first 90nm 512 Megabit XDR chips. XDR stands for Extreme Data Rate (which should really be EDR, but X looks better in an acronym), which in turn stands for hot and fast memory for multimedia applications. At transmission speeds up to 9.6GB per second, these chips will fly about 12 times faster than DDR400 memory. They're especially designed to handle maximum performance for applications requiring advanced imaging and 3D graphics. As a general rule, we approve of maximum performance. Carry on, Samsung.

"Blah, blah, blah... you know, best of E3 for graphics was just awarded to Unreal Tournament 2007, an upcoming Xbox 360 game."

You do know that Unreal Tournament 2007 is a PS3 game also?

And I don't know what some of you think "most" means, but only two of the PS3 game demos (Killzone 2 and Motorstorm) shown were definately pre-rendered, the others were real time, the best looking one besides the two mentioned above was UT2007, and that was proven to be real time.

At least Sony didn't put booths on the floor where the games were implied to be running off of the system, when they were actually running on hidden computers. Maybe it's just me, but I'd rather be told that the systems/games weren't ready, then to be lied to like how Microsoft did. To me, displaying two pre-rendered movies (even though they didn't say they weren't pre-rendered) isn't even close to Microsoft trying to fool the people into believing they were playing on Xbox 360s.

who wants to guess how long itll take to develop a game that fills a blu ray disc? i doubt there will be mny games that totally take advantage of it. and ms has not committed to any format, unless i missed something. just give it some time, we will see what happens.

2.Fully backwards compatible.(13,000+)games.
3.Latest technology.
4.Twice the power.
5.Better games.
6.Better graphics.
7.Better online gameplay.

There is just no comparison PS3 all the way.

PLAYSTATION WILL RULE YET AGAIN!!!

Come on people, 370 is an amazing price for the PS3, X360 (or if u prefer XBOX 1.5) has little to compete in terms with what its selling and what it will probably cost (between 299-399). Being within the same price range, PS3 will have so much more to offer than the X360 and cost similar. Evidentally PS3 will sell more and X360 fans have "even less" to talk about now.

PS3 will launch under 40,000yen (under US$370). Now what can the X360 fans say? Also, for those people who wouldn't buy a PS3 because it was rumoured to be over US$500, now you can be happy to get more for your money as the PS3 will be selling at a competative low price! I have plenty to back my opinion but I've written similar in the "Bizzare 180 of the XBox 360" topic~ LOL, it's quite hilarious to see XBox fanboys squirm for their beloved Halo and Xbox Live, which inturn will also fall to Sony in due time. Food for thought, there is still 7 months for Sony to unleash their online plans for the PS3, so wait for your XBox Live comparisons till a later date. So far, for what IS comparable, Sony have already succeeded in the preliminary rounds.
