Man I check several times on the Kikizo mainpage before postign up gamign news and latly it never fails that just before I put somin up sure enuff Kikizo has just gotten to it as well. Owell, at least they are quick to update these days.

Still it makes me feel a lil bad when I post somin up and Kikizo has it on the main page already makes it look like I dont read there, but I assure you I do

Just in case you folks didn' t know, this news is rather old...

If my memory serves me well, this story circulated through the websites over 3 months ago.
Videogaming is the contemporary interactive pasttime.

Given that in the PC Magazine buyers guide ATI totally cleaned up in the awards department against nVIDIA, I kind of have more faith in the ATI graphics chips to be used in the Xbox 2 (Xenon) and maybe Nintendo' s console.

Can I politely remind all users that they must not post the full text of an article/interview/review/etc etc from *any* website in the forum and please give the link of the originating story (yes, even if it' s not Kikizo) - we would expect the same courtesy from users of other forums.

As for nVidia... hmmm, I suppose at least it confirms that PS3 will " do" some graphics! Hooray!

Also the news is not old as it is officially confirmed and, IIRC, was never anyting more than unsubstantiated before. The big news with Nvidia before was that it would NOT be used in Xenon.
