Just a slow day on the site I suppose. The new X-Box is coming in a few months they say. I am moving this to PC World just because.
:p

Well, for one thing, Xbox 360 will have three processors, each running at a claimed 3GHz. Yes, we're talking 9GHz of total system juice. On top of that, each processor is capable of running two threads a piece, meaning that the console will be able to handle six instructions simultaneously. How difficult it will be to code for the system is unknown, though it seems quite obvious now that Microsoft's XNA project was made for a very specific purpose.

Xbox 360's GPU is based on ATI's next-generation graphics chip, putting it at least one generation beyond its current X800 card for PCs. That's about all that's known it at this point. Oh, and it will be very fast. Yep.

The one thing I don't like about the 360 using ATI cards means that it will most likely not be backwards-compatible with current Xbox games...

Oh and did I mention HDTV output?

Now the PS3's Cell proccessor is claimed by some to run at 4 ghz. The graphics are also by ATI.

As you can see, i know more/am more excited about the Xbox 360.

I've always hated those playstation controllers.

i'm the exact opposite, those huge clunky xbox thingies... i like buttons close together to help with the fast reactions... small fast and light :D

Well, the Xbox's controller S is alot smaller. I hate the big ones, so i sold it at a garage sale and bought a few of the small ones.
