PLAYSTATION 3
After waiting for months for a photo, details and
other info on The Playstation 3, it's finally here.
Heres the specs:
It will support Blu-ray (obviously), DVD±R/W, CD-R/RW
Backwards compatible with the PlayStation 2 and original
Playstation
One 3.2GHz Cell processor—total system performance
rated at 2.18 teraflops (uh, that’s actually about twice what Microsoft is claiming the Xbox 360 will do); it will have
256MB system RAM 3.2GHz, and 256MB GDDR VRAM at 700MHz
The nVidia graphics will be called the RSX
(”Reality Synthesizer”), and will trump the Xbox 360 with 1080p ) graphics support.
There will be a 2.5-inch hard drive (i.e. laptop hard
drive) attachment—a first for a Sony launch (no, we don’t count the PSX and/or the FF add-on)
Memory Stick Duo slot, and very surprisingly, an SD
and CF slots
Bluetooth support with up to seven wireless controllers
Six USB system ports
The bottom line, this system will kick all
the other systems asses!
Still no word on a price for the PS3.
Heres some pics of the new Playstation 3

 The Playstation 3 will come in multi colors to suit
your taste
This is the PS3 wireless controller
and yeah it does look like a boomerang
or the moon, take your pick.
This is it folks the new Playstation 3 and to most
of you even me its going to take time to get used to the design and a big concern to me is, will the paint come out of the
silver controllers while you play with it for long hours?
most likely which means I'll get the black version.
By the looks of the PS3 it didn't excite me like the XBOX 360
or the Nintendo Revolution.
Sony should had made a better design for this mammoth of a system
cause to me it looks like a CD player or a Turbografx 16 Duo from the early 90's and that controller needs a redesign,
hopefully the 3rd party companies will make a better looking controller.
oh well, at lease the powerful hardware will make up for
it, lets see how the games do, cause no matter what power a system has it all depends on the software to sell it, now all we have to do is wait, damn.

NINTENDO REVOLUTION
Sounds like something out of a Wachowski Bros Movie
but in fact its the name of Nintendo's next generation game console.
For what I saw it looks like a space helmet from
a Star Wars Movie with a detachable visor to see the games all around you if you don't wanna see it on your TV and it has
4 earphones to give you surround sound.
The system looks like a round ipod (again with this
ipod color design just like XBOX 360) looks like this is the new trend in game console design, lets see how the
PS3 looks like, its a weird looking system.
Here are some specs of the Nintendo Revolution.
Rumors abound indicated that Nintendo could separately be working
on two systems and that ultimately one would be chosen for retail. System 1 allegedly featured a 2.7GHz PowerPC G5 processor,
512MBs of RAM, and a 600MHz graphics chip. System 2 allegedly featured dual 1.8GHz PowerPC G5 processors. 256MBS of DDR Main
Memory RAM, 128MBS of GDDR3 Video RAM and a 500MHz graphics chip. Both systems allegedly featured a built in 15GB hard drive.
As of this time, these rumors cannot be validated.
More recent hearsay from development studios working closely with
Nintendo suggest that Revolution's power is on track to compete with Microsoft's forthcoming successor to Xbox. Some studios
have suggested that Revolution could be slightly underpowered when stacked side by side with Microsoft's next system, but
that the differences would be marginal. Other sources maintain that the recently reported Xenon hardware specs exactly mimicked
internal hardware documentation for Revolution. Again, none of this information can yet be validated.
In March 2005, both IBM and ATI confirmed that they have been making
the CPU and GPU for Revolution respectively.
This is another rumor of the final spec
CPU: IBM G5 Custom x 4 2.5GHz cores, level 1 cache 128KB, a level
2 cache 512KB share
GPU: RN520 x 2core 16MB eDRAM, PC R520 AMR technology supports 720p and 1080i.
The full specs will be revealed when Nintendo
debuts the new system at E3 2005 for now I will show you an exclusive video of Nintendo Revolution.
The Revolution Controller?!
This has got to be The worst thing ever!

XBOX 360
The next generation in game consoles is here!
MTV has shown a special show debuting the awesome new console
that will be available this Fall and packed with awesome new stuff.
After a long wait for gamers, Microsoft unveiled details about its next-generation gaming console, the Xbox 360, to millions of
fans on the MTV network Thursday night.
This time the tech behemoth will overtake its greatest rival Sony and the PlayStation console, as it will bring the Xbox to retail store shelves in the United States,
Japan, and Europe at the beginning of
the holiday season this year.
Sony
has not yet announced particular details about the PlayStation 3 and its launch date, but analysts expect it to be out by
the beginning of 2006.
The new console, which is more like a media center, has a 20-GB hard drive, a DVD-ROM, three USB 2.0 ports,
and two memory unit slots. The sleek-looking machine, which can be placed horizontally or vertically, is white in color as
opposed to it’s the black Xbox 2.
Microsoft
used two design firms, San Francisco’s Astro Studios and Osaka, Japan’s Hers Experimental Design, to come up with
the new stylish look reminiscent of Apple’s iPod.
For the new console, Microsoft
replaced chip giant Intel and graphic chip maker Nvidia with three IBM microprocessors and a custom ATI graphics processor, which are expected to deliver powerful
computing and advanced graphics.
The entertainment system-like console has a built-in progressive scan DVD movie, CD music and photo playback
support. And the integration of the Xbox Live gaming system will let players interact with other players around the world
while watching movies or listening to music.
With
the Xbox 360, gamers will get a free subscription to the Xbox Live online game entertainment system, which currently comes
for a monthly fee.
In keeping up with the high-definition era, every Xbox 360 game will be designed for high-definition televisions
(HDTVs) and wide-screen televisions. In addition, it will also stream HDTV and movies stored on Microsoft Media Center PCs.
It
is still not certain how many launch titles Microsoft plans to have for Xbox 360, which will play a key role in driving sales.
It will become clearer which company will stand out in the $10-billion video gaming market next week at the gaming
industry’s annual convention, E3 expo, in Los Angeles.
Sony and Nintendo, both competitors to the new Xbox, will talk more about their next-generation consoles.
The
Sony PlayStation 3 will be powered by the “cell” microprocessor, which can handle complex digital media and graphics.
Sony
has also indicated that the PS3 will have capabilities to run the next generation of DVDs called Blu-Ray, which use blue ray
laser technology instead of the red laser implemented today. Blu-Ray has higher storage capacity
and supports high-definition televisions.
Microsoft has confirmed a price for the Xbox 360, $299.99 for The wired controller model and $399.99 for The wireless
model. The Xbox currently sells for $149.99. It is also not clear if the new console will be backward compatible, meaning
can play games made for the older console.

launch party in Los Angeles last night. Also note the presence of a hard drive attachment up top, the white controller, the
Xbox Live headset, and what looks like that EyeToy-like camera peripheral.
