X360 has a 48 pipe R600 class GPU. PS3 has a 7800 GTX. I'd say that makes all PS3's defective :)


The Xenos was developed under the codename "R500" for a while.

Well, I forget the websites stating the Xenos was a DX10 part, but could you provide a link of some sort? I'm not doubting you, it's just that proof is better than none. General concensus (sp?) seems to be the Xenos is infact DX9 and that's probably true since I tend to care more about PC tech rather than console stuff, and pay less attention to the latter, but a link would be great. Thanks.

Also, careful, you just double posted.

I doubt anyone cares. :wink:

Anyone who knows me personally knows I hate Sony and I'll likely never buy a PS3, but I'm happy they did something different with the Cell. I think it's pretty useless tech now (who cares what it's capable of when programmers aren't capable of utilising it?) but someone had to do something bold. Whatever I think of their representatives, sticking feet in their mouth every meal, they have one good thing going in their R&D. I'm waiting patiently for PS4 news.

Bold movers: Sony in hardware, MS in software, Nintendo in control. ( :lol: )

There are two reasons i hate the ps3, 1. I hate the controller, its way to small for my hands and the position of all the buttons just doesnt work for me. 2. because it has 8 cores all the computer noobs and console fanboys think its the ultimate computer, and theres no talking 'em down.


oh, the xbox controls halo, so its the best console no matter what sony or nintendo puts out there.

Halo 1 = godly among consoles

Halo 2 = overhyped piece of crap

Sorry, I couldn't find the link. However, when searching I found this.

VBDude: You double posted! You incurable n00b! Kidding.

Halo 1= totally awesome

Halo 2= totally awesome as well, but with a crappy ending. It was a good continuation of the series though, and it brought alot of new stuff to the game like dual wielding and hijacking vehicles. it does kind-of seem like it was made to prepare halo fans for halo 3. Of course im a halo head so bungie could sell bags of dog shit, say its from a spartan and i would probably buy it

I cant wait for the Halo movie, and finding out what peter jacksons untitled Halo project is. Dont really know how Halo Wars will go over though, i mean, its halo, so everybody is going to buy it the first day it comes out, but RTS's arent really my perfered style of game.

if you havent already guessed, Halo is like crack to me.

I may get flamed for this, but you got that backwards.

shinigamiX: Wouldn't be as funny if I didn't. :wink: I even replied to myself for added effect.

Halo 2 to me was pretty and shiny graphics, with dual-wielding. I would have much rather waited another year and let Bungie make Halo 2 be the end all they original said they were going to do.

But whatever. Microsoft knows how to milk money from us, and so they did.

Sorry, but....
UT2K4>Halo X(with X representing any real number)
If someone released a Halo (-1)^-1 I will be the first to buy it, however.

shinigamiX: Perhaps you missed this, but the quote said "console", not "FPS". I agree, UT was better than Halo. I don't get the Halo -1 part though. (-1)^-1=-1 You mean like before Halo Zero? :wink:

Anybody read Ghosts of Onyx yet? that would be an awesome halo game!

A kickass RPG would be Inquisitor by Games Workshop.

He means if someone reversed engineered the game, renamed it Olah, and told everyone its better - he'd be the first to buy it. (*think DivX <-> XviD; Halo <-> Olah)

Everyone swears Xvid is better than DivX. Whether that is true or not I can't say.
