Ps3 Or Xbox 360?

Well of course, the PC is ever upgradable. Right now though, the xbxo360 is currently more powerful than all but the most expensive computers. Of course that will change within a year most likely...but it is a testiment to the power capable with it.

Don't know where you heard that, but 2x 7800gtx 512 dual core - 4 gpu's SLI, owns xbox 360.

I said the all but super expensive computers......aka 2 7800gtx.....lets see, $400 for a plenty powerful xbox360 configuration, or $1200 for two video cards.

I personally don't like the fact that MS claim that the Xbox 360 is next-gen when it really isn't. It supports 720p as a HD resolution but that display format has been around for a while now. I think it supports 1080i on 1 or 2 games but whats the point if the 360 doesn't play ANY next-gen media. Neither HD-DVD or Blue Ray are supported. It seems to me that MS are trying to pass off the 360 as something it isn't. I wish they would just tell the truth and say "It's like the Xbox...only a bit better"

being ready for when next gen is this gen

**dragon2309** · 12-23-2005, 02:49 AM

yeh but when next gen is this gen, this gen will be an old gen, and next gen will be a newer gen than the older newer gen. so really, next gen never actually arrives.

would ps3's cell processor be considered next gen? And i dont like counsoles cause once a newer console comes out, its basically dead. Also, you can't mod it that much seeing there's no room for anything and to me, half the fun in buildilng a computer is modding it.
