A recent survey conducted by research firm XTN Data in September gives Sony's console 5 per cent lead over Xbox 360 in the UK.
XTN Data asked 1000 people what console they were planning to buy, and the results showed that 32 per cent were planning to buy a PS3, while 27 per cent said they would purchase an Xbox 360. The survey did not ask respondents for their opinion on Nintendo's Revolution console. So despite that Xbox 360 has occupied 90% of the next-gen news space for the last 6 month, Microsoft’s viral marketing schemes, and the fact that it will be available this Christmas, Sony still has strong support in the UK. This shows how strong the PlayStation brand is, and it leaves no doubt that Microsoft will face a well armed enemy next year when Sony enters the battle field with its highly anticipated PS3.

Unregistered - kolopy 11.11.2005 11:07 yeah those viral campaigns suck, 360 for me but i think i'll get PS3 when they do the slimline version. UK rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 -

A survey of only 1000Unregistered - g 11.11.2005 11:27 1000 People is not enough. % could easily change with 200o or 5000 people. 5 -
IndicaSativa420 11.11.2005 11:36 of course theyre gonna say they dont want it... they cant get them, there isnt enough to go around, y wouldnt they say that?? 6 -
hmm..only 5%??Unregistered - Akakage 11.11.2005 11:36 When I saw the headline I was expecting it to be much higher that 5%. 5% means its still anybody's game. A crazy price point (for ps3)or a few good exclusives (for x360) could tip the scales in the other direction. Then u have to factor in the other 41% that are undecided. It's gonna be a close race in Europe. The same can't be said for Japan though, as x360 has a major uphill battle. Japanese developers are slowly starting to rally behind the x360(mainly because the US has the strongest gaming market) so it is good to know that more games will be multi-platform. Only 2 things are needed now...1.) An actual price for PS3 and 2.) SOME FRICKIN GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE!!!!! 7 -
What aboutTheBlob 11.11.2005 11:57 and there is still that other 40 percent that they didnt put down I wonder what that was? 8 -
Hey AkakageUnregistered - Ultimate PS3 Fan 11.11.2005 12:14 I already seen gameplay footage from a PS3 game. The game called ''Fatal Inertia'' actually has gameplay footage at Gamespot. It OWWWWWWWWWWWNZ! It looks so REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAL!!!!!!!! PS3 will take over and is FAR SUPERIOR thsn the 360. Put it like this, X MS is gonna release their death warrent (X Box 360) and Sony will release the ULTIMATE weapons PS3! The Best! It will OVERKILL Microsofty in marketing! 9 -

PAUL CERULA 11.11.2005 12:30 Ohh come on thats a game at least 5 months from now, 360 will be up to par by then. Don't say something stupid like "ps3 owwwnnzz" You moron, I wouldn't say that about the 360 that's for sure. And you have no proof of that game too, until sony releases "in game" footage I'm not expecting anything but what the developers can give 5-6months from now 11 -
Unregistered - JIN KAZAMA 11.11.2005 12:36 Unbelievable, all that hype about the 360, all that marketing, all that money spent on comming out with their console first, tons of money spent on displaying the 360 everywhere you find electronics and more, and its still behind Sony PS3. Imagine when Sony starts their marketing campaign, its easily going to be more than 5 percent lead. I think if they polled people in the states, it will even be a greater percentage. 12 -
SpartanUnregistered - JIN KAZAMA 11.11.2005 12:38 360 will be up to PAR by then, YOU are basically admitting that the 360 s an iferior system! HAHA, you know deep down its very inferior, and NO it wont be "Up TO PAR" because PS3 is much more powerful. 13 -

Oh DearUnregistered - ! 11.11.2005 13:04 Can you belive that last poster ? The son of a b1itch actually thinks the xcrap is more powerful than a PS3 ! Mate, I dont think you realise, but the PS3 is more powerful than xcrap ! Open your eyes ! Yes, I know you love Bill Gates, and I know you want youre console to be superior, but its just not going to happen ! Oh, as for the xcrap fans flogging the dead horse that is the CGI, that was CGI, yes, but it was made PS3 standards, so the CGI you saw [Eg:Killzone] was made on a computer, but it was made to look like a PS3 game. So the CGI wasnt a complete waste of time. Here in the UK the PS3 is prefered over the Xcrap even after all those millions wasted on marketing that could be used for improving your xcrap. Patience fellow PS3 buyers, our time will come. 16 -

One mighty height to fallUnregistered - Otar 11.11.2005 13:44 I saw what looked to be in-game graphics on the PS3. The first game was Heavenly Sword. The trailer looks like a mix of movie with a little bit of game play footage. Wasn’t impressed with that one, the movie looked good but you can spot the difference when what appears to be game play footage shows up. The other game was Fifth Phantom Saga and again I wasn’t impressed with what looks to be in-game footage. You can find all these trailers on www.gametrailers.com. So go look for yourselves and make your own mind up. You must understand, the reason I wasn’t that impressed with what might be in game footage, is simply because I was comparing these 2 games to the other PS3 movies I had seen. And they just don’t compete with the other movies and the high promises Sony has given us gamers. The PS3 has built up such a high expectation that if it doesn’t deliver 100% of what it has promised, it could quite possibly fail because of its own hype. Please don’t think I’m a fan boy, I want great games on which ever console delivers. And I prey that the PS3 is everything Sony is saying it is. 22 -
xbotsUnregistered - you 11.11.2005 13:58 you xbots dont get it THE XBOX WILL NOT WIN. LIVE WITH IT,ITS A FACT. THE XBOX WILL FLOP WHEN PS3 COMES OUT, AND YOUR DREAMCAST 360 WILL BE LEFT IN THE DUST. 23 -

PS2 is thier nowUnregistered - otar 11.11.2005 14:34 My PS2 has been left in the dust for 3 years. It may be the biggest selling console, but what a pile of over hyped crap it was. The disappointment I felt when I got mine at launch. The graphics were poor. What happened to all the promises of Toy Story quality graphics? The PS3 sounds like the same tune. And the PS3 is not twice as powerful as the 360. The maths were worked out differently on both consoles as far as t-flops are concerned. The 360 can have just under 1.5 t-flops if worked out the same way as Sony did theirs. Apparently t-flops only accounts for 20% of what a game does. So how important it is, is any ones guess? And as far as memory bandwidth. The 360 has over 5 times that of the PS3. Memory bandwidth if I am correct is what can be stored while waiting to be processed. Important when it comes to games. But then again, Sony doesn’t seem to making games for the PS3 just great looking movies. Sorry for all of the above, I hate all of this fanboy crap. But so many people are talking rubbish. No one knows what the true capabilities of any next gen console are. 25 -
Unregistered - wotter 11.11.2005 14:44 Yep, to the people above who think ps2 didn't deliver what they said, watch this: http://ps2movies.ign.com/media/news/video/ps2demos/psx2_1.mpg You people are right, it doesn't look like ps2 graphics, it looks more like... ps1,5 graphics lol. They already surpassed it with games like god of war and gt4. 26 -
Sony FailedUnregistered - Silverback 11.11.2005 14:48 Since the playstation out sold the xbox 4 to 1 last generation if the gap between them is only 5% than it is a clear win for MS. 5% is well within the margin of error anyways. According to an article I read recently MS's goal for this next generation is not total dominance of the market, even though they say that publicly, but to reach at least an equal level with the market leader. It isn't until the third generation that they expect to clearly take market lead. I can see no reason at this point for MS not to lead the market in both Europe and North American though trailing in the Asian market this next generation. Microsoft will have the better price point, same quality and quantity of games, better online service, and releasing a year ahead of the PS3 (except in Japan). The only advantage the PS3 has is its brand name and Blue Ray. Brand name didn't matter when Sony bested the brand leader Nintendo back in the day, and Blue Ray is ahead of its time. So neither is really that much of an advantage. If you disagree with me than expain why all the major analyst companies disagree with you as well. Unless Sony trully has something amazing that is yet to be revealed, not likely, than you or I have no reason to believe that Sony will lead the market anywhere near what it did last time around. Once again, if all they have is a 5% lead in expectations than Sony has failed. Period. 27 -
Microsoft FailedUnregistered - HahA 11.11.2005 14:52 MTV was it's first shot which brutally shot there foot off, and all of these idiotic ocmmericals with the saying "Jump in." Fu©k that, if Sony uses something simliar to that screw that also, IT SOUNDS LIKE A PURE BANDWAGON. But he11 what do i know.. 28 -
Unregistered - you 11.11.2005 14:55 the 5% is only in the uk and this is out of 1000 people you moron. the xbox will never get that close, its just not going to happen deal with it. 29 -
Unregistered - silverback 11.11.2005 15:12 Your right if they surveyed more than MS could have a 5% lead over PS3. 30 -

Reply #25Otar 11.11.2005 15:24 The 2 games you mentioned do have great looking graphics, shame it took 4 years to deliver. Lets hope it doesn’t take that long for the PS3. But Res 4 does look like the sort of graphics Sony promised on PS2. But it took way too long and too few games to see this quality. And I still don’t think the PS2 delivered what was promised. Emotion, yeah right. And lets face it how many developers truly managed to get the best out of PS2, 3 or 4. 32 -

to #30Unregistered - silverback 11.11.2005 15:32 It's always good to read such intelligent remarks (heavy sarcasm). This of course seems to be a hallmark of most posters on this site. 35 -
OOOPS STATISTICSUnregistered - leon 11.11.2005 15:33 right 27% want 360... and 32% want a ps3 that a 5% difference but 27% + 32% = 59% that leaves 41% undecided so what if that 41% undecided then decide to opt for a 360 ? that would give M$ a 68% lead over sony. or what if the 32% wait till the ps3 comes out and decide that the ps3 aint as good as sony promised and get ( by then) the lower priced 360 with halo 3 and gears of war that would give M$ a 100% lead over sony statistics prove nothing. you could easly flip what i wrote round to sonys favour and 5% difference is only a tiny margin . so fanboys dont count your chickens 36 -
Unregistered - PLEASE READ THIS WITH AN OPEN MIND. 11.11.2005 15:40 lol just because a system has more power than the other doesn't mean it wont or can't fail. Neither system will fail but don't say because sony has more power it will succeed. It's what the software makers do with the power that dictates the success of a system. Ps2 exceeded in sales, dispite it being a peice of sh!t. The xbox was better interms of graphics and stuff but the numbers were'nt where ms wanted to be, still for a first time console they did well, and this time may be a little different. Ms has delievered a product that was better than there first one and is a little more aggressive and sony is no doubt going to copy some of that seeing as they are releasing after ms. I see a trend already, first they tried to copy the online thing but failed at it so now it's back to square one, now look, ms had logitech to design them the great controller that they have now for the 360, sony just solicited logitech to do thier design, the first xbox had nvidia for graphics, now sony has them now if it works out for sony that's good, but I don't really see them being the conosles to end all consoles their only a competitor, the games are what's going to dictate, sales thus make a console number one. 37 -
Unregistered - NOV 22. 11.11.2005 15:50 Sony is so quick to call the xbox 360 the 1.5, but if that's really true then the ps3 is the ps2 1.5, truthful they will be about the same in terms of what they can do, they just went about it in different ways, sony opted for blue ray, ms chose compression, Sony chose blue tooth, ms chose 2.4gh, but both are wireless, I mean it's little things like that, sony doesn't have ingame custom soundtrack, sony may have a little more crisp image in terms of graphics, I mean really sony is not all that you are making it out to be. NO im not putting it down im just saying be real, be honest, like people are saying ps3 is not an end all console its a competitor. I'm getting a 360, because one I like it and two I refuse to give into all the hype of the ps3. 38 -
#24Unregistered - sony fan 11.11.2005 16:07 "And as far as memory bandwidth. The 360 has over 5 times that of the PS3" This is one of those misleading claims from that biased major nelson article. This is not true. If you ask any techie guy, he'll tell you that adding the internal gpu bandwidth to other system parts bandwidth is so idiotic,ridiculous and meaningless. This is another evidence that MS is misleading people. 39 -
Unregistered - CLowe 11.11.2005 16:11 I have to wonder why so many X-Box fanboys post on a PS3 news-site. Sounds like trolling to me. Secondly, people are still "waiting" for PS3 game footage? Last I knew, MGS4 was real-time. 40 -
Unregistered - Silverback 11.11.2005 16:19 Of course they are refering to actual gameplay which we are still "waiting" to see. So in truth we have seen nothing relevant regarding gameplay from Sony. The only people who are impressed by the MGS4 video are those that want to be. 41 -

Unregistered - you suck 11.11.2005 17:24 dont' be nieve and think that gta4 won't make it's way to xbox 360 rockstar wants that money so obviously if it sells on both systems thats more money for them. Now dig this, I never owned an xbox I was into my ps2, matter fact we did have an xbox and no one played it and we ended up tradin it in. we are not loyal so ms or sony or whomever. When ya'll were playing the ps1 (which I hated) I was playing the n64, then after that I went to the ps2 (crap) now that the 360 is here i'll have that, now if i would have a the first xbox then i'd be getting the ps3. N64, ps2, now 360, that was my history for the last few years. I buy a system play it and live my life....no one system is better than the other, it's what system is better for you. ps3 fans are so damn ignorant. 50 -

Unregistered - the man 11.11.2005 17:34 its going to be harder for them to bring gta to xbox 360 1. because ps3 is more powerful they are going to downgrade it and 2.the blu ray disk hold more memory, unless they are going to use multiple disk for the xflop. even if it does come out on 1.5 it wont sell that much anyways because of the small fanbase(20million) on dreamcast 360. where as ps has 4x that(over 91million). 53 -

lol the BS3 is anticipated crapUnregistered - . 11.11.2005 17:38 Krazy Ken, is so arrogant that he make me not want the ps3, and I don't want it period, I want my xbox 360 I also agree that no one system is better than the other and that it is a matter of preference, and I pre fer the 360. They'll end up with adequate software support and you'll see just how nice the system actaully is, perfect no, nice yes. 55 -
Unregistered - . 11.11.2005 17:46 lol, you don't think that Rockstar games are not intelligent enough to fit Gta 4 on to a dual layer dvd 9 using compression techniques. The may have to scale down some of the cutscenes, but they can make it, after all look what they did to gta san andreas, the put allll that data on a dual layer dvd it just looked like sh!t on the ps2. So they can do alot with the 360 ya'll make it sound like it's just sooooo primative, you're all dillusional if you think the developers can't do wonders with the 360 and about using multiple disk, yea a few games may but over all they'll be able to do fine with one. So its not a bad deal at all besided from what I read you may not even be getting a ps3 to brag about lol then what you gonna do? Buy a 360.....pricks 56 -
#38Unregistered - otar 11.11.2005 18:11 As stated at the end of comment #24 I kind of made my point, whether people are talking about t-flops, bandwidth or what ever there is a load of crap doing the rounds. And as far as bandwidth goes, 360: has 22.4 GB/s main memory bandwidth, 256 GB/s to eDRAM, 21.6 GB/s FSB and PS3: has 25.6 GB/s main memory bandwidth, 22.4 GB/s video memory bandwidth as stated on gamespot. What this translates to, with on screen graphics is any ones guess, but for some reason I take your "ask some one techy" answer with a pitch of salt. I don’t know if you are speaking the truth or not. I asked a software engineer and he said the more bandwidth the better, so I came up with my own view. If that is wrong then I stand corrected. But as you seem to know, then please explain in a little more detail then before what the bandwidth translates to on each system? After all it must mean something, and the 360 does have a bigger number, oooohhh!!! 57 -

This banter is some fun nothing serious or meaning, a bit like Jerry Springer, but for consoles. I’m just having a break from Far Cry on xbox. 59 -

#64Otar 11.11.2005 19:30 You will always have your fan boys. Its part of the scene now, and some of it is funny. And when I get bored I like to read some of the comments and at times add to the fire, all for fun. I agree both systems will probably have the same on screen graphics as each other. And every once in a while you will see one system out perform the other. Its great to hear such passion about the gaming industry, and the different views.

#65Otar 11.11.2005 19:35 I jump from 360, PS3 and Rev sites to see what’s going on. I see a lot PS3 fans on 360 sites. Like any fans out there, we all like to defend who we support. 68 -
Unregistered - wow 11.11.2005 19:43 ^yeah I understand that and I dont have a perferance of system, im buying all of them which is why I guess im on this site. I jsut was commenting on the amount of xbox360 favored posts compared to PS3 posts. 69 -
Unregistered - wow 11.11.2005 19:45 i mean in buying all the systems I have access to all the best games and I still come out cheaper than buying 1 gameing PC. 70 -
Unregistered - someone 11.11.2005 19:59 I understand that almost all of the games for xbox360 are ported from one or more of the current consoles. Games like PDZ and Kameo started on the gamecube, then microsoft bought rare and they started porting it over to the xbox. Now they are ported over to the 360. Before I completely give up on it I'm gonna wait until a game is developed from the ground up on it (because to tell you the truth, they don't look that special). Plus most of the games coming to the PS3 are developed from the ground up so naturally they will look better (hopefully)! 71 -

Haha, My god what the hell is with the flooding of Xbox Fanboys.. READ ME ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Retard 11.11.2005 23:03 It's prolly only 2-3 people using differnt alias's. Although i do like the comments... PS2.5 (how original); PS is not showing in game footage, well that maybe true BUT, it wouldn't be Sony showing the 'fake', prerend, or TargetVD. It would be the developers. I look at it this way Xbox Fans... MGS 1 (ps1, amazing for ps1's hardware) MGS 2 (for ps2, this was one of the 1st greatest looking ps2 games and still is in my opinion) So, is it really so hard to believe that MS4 would look far from what they've shown... If anyone knows and can understand what the numbers mean in the specifications, then it's possible; the hardware is there. Spartan; your comments have to be the best~~~ DON'T BUY A SYSTEMS BECAUSE OF IT'S LABEL... like Xbox360 Commericals -> "Jump In" Why the bandwagon...? 91 -

PS IS A LOST CAUSEUnregistered - L. boogie 11.11.2005 23:20 the 360 is taking over and you sony clowns know it. all you'll have is sequals, mgs, ff, another grand turismo, I mean the list goes on and on, i've played all those on the ps2, why the hell would i play them again on a ps3. you have to be versatile you cant just get with sony and ride it out. or else you'll just keep playing the same games over and over. why you think so many people got away from nintendo no one's trying be 25 and over playing mario when there are so many adult games out. the 360 is a beast and when the software picks up there is no stopping it. so you can brag about metal gear solid, hell i played the first 3 and their basically the same just new story lines, grand turismo and final fantasy over and over thats just retarded. nothing to be proud of. 360 is an all around entertainment hub. Yeah ps3 will sell if it ever comes out because people are brainwashed if its ps something they get excited, and its the same rehashed titles with a new system. I wouldnt get a ps3 if they were handing them out for free thats how serious i am. you all talk like the ps3 is all that well it's not. the xbox 360 is the total package whether you morons want to face reality or not. Sony ran over nintendo but it wont run over the 360. lol you losers are done for. xbox 360 rocks... 94 -
PAUL CERULA 11.11.2005 23:23 #90, I can't tell if your being sarcastic when you say don't buy the xbox 360 for the label. But anyways just to reiterate, the commercials that have the xbox 360 label in them is to.....uhhh sell the product The reason behind that comment earlier was to say that sony fans who had the ps2 and/or ps1 shouldn't buy the ps3 based on sticking with the label. Same thing with Microsoft, but they've only had one console so label dedication is much less with Microsoft than Sony. Which is good, dedication to a label is one of the worst things in any consumer. That's why I have more respect for people who look past the company and go for the product. Those who rant brainlessly with curse words are the result of this obsession. If you would look at both products, and believe the facts and truth from other people you would realize that both the xbox 360 and ps3 are very very close in performance. So for perhaps the one of the last times, buy what console fits what games you want and what functions. Do you want a console now or six months from now, the choice I leave up to you.. 95 -
to comment 89Havoc 11.11.2005 23:27 "A recent survey conducted by research firm XTN Data " no it's not "Another Sony=FONY=SURVEY=trying to hype the system" how many units are going to be shipped to europe on luanch day? 96 -
Unregistered - 360 all the way 11.11.2005 23:38 I agree with 70 onehundred percent. Tho im looking forward to the 360 the most its kind of hard looking at all those ported games. Yeah I too would prefer games from the ground up, however waiting for the ps3 is not an option for me. No one knows when the ps3 is coming out, they said 07 for the us but with their financial troubles and countless lawsuits it may never come out. So im opting for the 360 and we know that the games will be great come 06, MS is doing this intentionally. I had the nintendo 64, the I had the ps2, now im getting the 360. never could I be loyal to a lable I want to experience the best of each one. Friends have had the ps1, the xbox, and the gamecube. Im very excited about the 360 and cant wait to get mind. if i would have had the xbox the last time around then i'll be eagar for the ps3. I get the system I want not loyal to a brand .........so for me its 360 all the way. 97 -
Unregistered - man 11.12.2005 00:21 "Do you want a console now or six months from now, the choice I leave up to you" why get a console(xflop 1.5) now that will be outdated and completly destroyed in sales/performance in 6 months by ps3. 98 -

Yo the PS3 is my life my fat ass life that hasnt been laid or the Xbox fanboys who sound like "Yo The Xbox 360 has total control over my mind man it like rules every decision I make" ya thats how it is you are all being controled by marketing.

Real Gamer Unregistered - The Truth Fish Man 11.12.2005 07:59 I left this site months ago and all this chaos happens over consoles, alright I'm going to say the obvious, Xbox fanboys your not doing justice for the 360 your like cancer you make things bad for everyone else. Your giving the Sony Fanboys more of a reason not to buy the 360 because your acting the same as dictators, it sounds like the majority of you you guys haven't talked about the games and your only giving the 360 a bad impression. Sony fanboys I really though most of you guys wouldn't sink to their level but you've already done that, to be honest just ignore them because they have no idea what their talking about since all the consoles aren't even out yet. I only come here to read the articles, I don't bother commenting here because someone will belittle my choice of what consoles I want to purchase, I think great original games will sell the consoles this time around. I stopped playing both consoles for awhile, God of War and Resident Evil 4 came out for the ps2 I dusted off my ps2 and started playing it again since new games have been coming out. The xbox 360 is coming out and it seems Microsoft abandoned the first console I wanted to buy some xbox games but I'm a big action game fan and the only one that looks good right now is Stubs the zombie Rebel Without a pulse. The console of my choice will be determined by new gameplay and original games because I'm tired of playing games with better graphics with the same gameplay mechanics, if you guys want to label me as a fanboy your completely wrong. I'll end up buying all the consoles only until I see more original games with different concepts, I might just end up buying two systems instead it really depends on what I see for original concepts and creativity in games. Most of you Xbox fanboys are saying that everyone wants a 360 now, what if eveyone else who isn't a fanboy wants to wait awhile to purchase the console I looked up a poll on Game Spot and it determined if people wanted it at launch. I have my reasons to buy the next gen consoles, my opinion doesn't matter here but the editors have to delete the negative comments and all of you guys are giving them nothing but a headaches. I'm only 18 and you guys seem to have no sense of the term next gen, to me it seems microsoft is pulling all the stops to sell the 360 but once all the consoles come out their strategy won't last for long. Anyone of you could call me whatever you want with sad excuses or one of your sad sob story but they won't work because I only come here to read the articles and I'll only come back when I feel like it. The games that have the most fun , creativity, and depth will sell the consoles if games are souless even if they're good they're only good to play once, online play is great but if people are acting like jerks it pisses me off. Repetitive gameplay and the same level design that the developers use is getting old real fast if no one thinks outside the box and makes a clone of a popular game it isn't doing anything for their studio or company. To be honest everyone who comes on this site doesn't speak for the rest of the world, the sales of the consoles will be determined by the world not just Europe and the U.S. rumours are only for the weak minded who don't know anything. I'm going to say this one thing before I leave and I know all you don't give a crap, I play video games when I have the time and I spend most of my time living my life with my friends, family and work. 102 -

lolUnregistered - xbox fans wake up 11.12.2005 12:00 Here are missing points: HDMI can output gigs and gigs of data along with sound, do the research. People who think we dont need more space on discs, obviously do not understand how much space is required to hold HD quality data running at 1080p!! Sony has not released official specs because they continue to improve them their already impressive specs, dont hate. BluRay DOES spin 1x!!! however, 1x BluRay is equivalent to 2x DVD rom, which is equivalent to 9x CD-Rom, its all about streaming bandwith people! BluRay can stream GIGS BluRay1 supports 36Gigs, by the time PS3 launches they'll use the next spec, 50Gigs perhaps. The point is, in its final spec BluRay can support 200Gigs!! But you wanna support old or inneficient formats? Sony's gaming library IS bigger and better get over it! Even Xbox fans stubbornly know this! Sony has built in WiFi, Xbox does not, fork 50$ Dont even get me started on graphics, I was not impressed by Tri-CORE 3.2GHtz and the rest of its specs, and whoever said they were blown away by CallofDuty, shame on you! I've seen PC gaming rigs with better frame rates and particle effects! Playstation WILL look better, will have more features, capabilities, and it is a true media system, not an "Extender" it uses media ports, built in ripping functions. If Sony uses linux core, it will spell doom for the competition, as linux developers will code an endless supply of software for the PS3 and to use its extreme power... You guys talk from hype, not from an understanding of the small steps that are going to impact the life of the PS3. OPINION: Any company that denies you a built in feature like DVD playback so you spend more money on their products is EVIL! its like racing a car..the more horsepower the faster it will be...ps3 has more horsepower guys..so yea its going to win! 112 -

132 Unregistered - NINTENDO REVOLUTION 11.12.2005 16:57 Hey I know I was the main one going on and on about the 360 well im still getting one, but I now im thinking when the revolution comes out i'll defitnitely be getting it, I love it's sleek design and finally figured out the whole thing with their controller, Nintendo are true inovators, I think I actaully more excited about it than I am the 360. I just hope that they don't have everything mario, and hello kitty but if they crank out some mature titles i'll be happy. It'll be cheaper then the competion, more inovation, and that sleek style is more desired. Yeah im excited. 133 -
damn rightUnregistered - wiggins 11.12.2005 18:58 im British and i know alot of people and i can't tell you that only 3 people i know have an xbox. and asking around very one wants a ps3, don't give a crap about the 360 and afew are looking forward to the revolusion mainly to see have crap that remote will be. sony better realise this and start giving us the stuff with the rest of the world. you have no idea how long we have to wait for something thats already out in the us. also when you pay $500 for the ps3 like the ps2 we pay £500(pounds)which if u look at the exchange rate thats about double. and after all that we still like sony more that the xbox. 134 -
Vivicious 11.12.2005 19:05 "Philips introduced today amBX – a light year leap in ambient experience – to the world of computer gaming, spotlighting a technology that will revolutionize the gameplay experience and extend the gaming world out of the screen and into the real world. Due for release in May 2006 and coming from the Surrey-based Philips amBX Group, amBX is a step towards a full 'sensory surround experience' and enabled games will provide gamers with the ability to use light, colour, sound, heat and even airflow in the real world during gameplay. Imagine the room of the future, where all electronic devices are amBX-enabled. The treacherous road to Saigon will turn your room jungle green, swimming with dolphins will splash it deep blue, 'Halo' jumps will turn your fans on full, lightning storms will strobe your white lighting, and attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion will blast on your heaters. Incorporating a scripting language, software engine and architecture, amBX has been designed to deliver all-new player experiences through enabled devices such as LED colour-controlled lights, active furniture, fans, heaters, audio and video, which are all placed in the user's room. amBX goes even further to provide the support framework for peripheral manufacturers to develop these enabled products, empowering both developers and publishers to amBX-enable and enhance their games. In the future, game players may even be able to author and share their own personal amBX experiences online. The networked home is rapidly becoming a reality for many, through the introduction of low cost wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi and BlueTooth. amBX has embraced this changing future by allowing content authors a language in which to describe and recreate experiences in an Ambient Intelligent Environment. Within a location the devices controlled by the amBX language act as parts of a browser. Together they render the experience and the player's room, in effect, becomes the browser. "For games creators this is a fantastic opportunity: amBX expands the immersive experience by bringing the real world environment into the gameplay," said, Jo Cooke, Chief Marketing Officer, Philips amBX. "The creative possibilities, using this technology, for the games industry and beyond are immense." Through amBX, Philips has forged a common language for the creation, distribution and sharing of totally new experiences and the launch into the games industry is merely the start of a shock wave that will boom across film, music and mass market entertainment as a whole. Philips is currently in the advanced stages of talks with a number of leading computer games developers and peripheral manufacturers regarding amBX-enabling leading games and devices, and will be officially launching the technology to the market in May 2006." Seems like some very promising tech to me. It looks incredible. I'd be pretty stoked if I could get my hands on this tech. Probably several thousands of dollars, but still. Explosions hit you with a wave of heat, and the lights in horror games would be awesome. The options are endless. Also you can customize it, would love to make my own movies (real life or even flash and the like.) and implement these things, great stuff. 135 -
