any 1 know the equivalent pc spec of a PS3 or a Xbox 360 ?
Hard to say. It's really an apples vs. oranges comparison. Consoles usually use custom hardware.
The RSX is comparatively close to two 6800 Ultras in SLI, but the Xenos is hard to compare since it uses a Unified Shader Architecture, though the core architecture of the chip itself is similar to the R500.
For the Cell and Tri-Core CPU's, it's another apples to oranges comparison since the Tri-Core is unique with three symmetrical processing cores and the Cell is in a league of it's own completely. You can't really compare the Cell to any existing desktop CPU.
The thing with consoles is optimization. The hardware for consoles might out power PC's for half a year then they're obsolete in terms of pure power. However, the amazing thing is that developers can optimize the software specifically for THAT set of hardware, which creates games that look almost as good if not as good on high-end PC's.
Got to be the PS2 in my opinion and the playstation was awesome in its time.
The PS2 was a great console for it's time. One thing I must commend Sony for is keeping the PS2 alive with great games even while the PS3 is out in the trenches taking grenades to the face.
Heh, I loved the N64. The controller has to be the most original design to date other than the Wii Controller. I've always loved Nintendo's controller choices, with the exception of the GameCube controller. They actually know how to make controllers unlike Sony.
Sony's controllers are a joke.
at the moment, my pc, but console would be my old xbox, dont have a 360 yet, idk if ill get one, depends if i get a kick ass pc later
The PC isn't a console.
Where's NES and SNES? those are hands down the best systems with the best games. Nothing beats them.
Seriously. The NES and SNES are legends in the console family. The games were simple, fun and addicting. Nothing fancy, just pure gaming fun.
I've never been much of a console guy, only one I've ever owned was N64, which was admittedly very fun for me when I was like 8, but now I'm a PC guy. If I had to choose, I'd go with the Xbox360 though for the live features since online play is a really big thing for me.
Yeah, that's why I chose the Xbox 360. Xbox Live to me is a very key feature that defines what an online gaming service should be like.
