PlayStation 3

I can't be bothered to explain properly and I don't mean any offense, but you definitely don't sound like you have much knowledge on how hardware works... you are just repeating stuff you've read on websites and deduced for yourself. As I said above, it *won't* run at 250ghz, just because they say it's a 100 times more powerful than a 2.5ghz CPU... that's just ridiculous

One other thing... can anyone remember even after Sony announced the PS2 how good some of the original demos looked that they showed at their unveiling. Now, how many games have we seen for the PS2 that looked as good as those original demos? Same thing happened years ago when Nintendo showed supposed footage of what N64 games would look like, but the actual console never looked as good as that early footage. As I say, until there's more official evidence and a console has actually been demonstrated at a trade show like E3 or something (and people have been able to actually *play* on it, most of what you hear is bs.

But anyway... no doubt the PS3 will be a very nice machine and I will definitely buy one... but none of these tech specs mean anything to me until I have actually seen the real machine running and have some idea of what it can actually do (and I know the games that will be available for it of course). ;D
