they both look good.
Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

I was merely referring to the size, I do like both their designs. But the PS3
is HUGE...

At the time I thought VB looked cool. Of course that was before I knew anything about it. Hahaha. I don' t really consider VB as a console though, in my view a console is something meant to connect to your TV, VB is in a class of its own.

It' s the blu ray drive.. If the HD-DVD drive was in the 360, it would be
that big too.. I don' t think it' s the processing power if what we have seen so far
is anything to go by..

Excellent pics


the cell processor is very good

Really... it' s good huh? So tell us, what can the cell processor do? (without using Sony quotes please?)


but i think the ps3 can be huge because it can do much...
Hmm... display in full 1080p and spill drinks? The thing is, the PS3 can do some things other consoles can' t, It' s just that for the most part, they' re extra baggage that does little but jack up the price and throw it at the consumer. I' m not bashing you or anything, I' m just curious as to what advantages you see in their experimental hardware thing.


Edit: Almost completely unrelated, took a good look at a blu ray case in Best Buy the other day, and took note of the fact that it was smaller and thinnner, do you think PS3 games will follow suit?

It processes stuff. fast.

but maybe not as fast as some people would like, but its fast, but then again I dont care. Why are you reading this?

The PS3 is certainly big, I think the machine itself looks decent but all the different sized layers is offputting... It actually looks like a sucessor to ps2, not much of a change. A shame.

Wii looks to be the nicest console this time around, but i wonder how the japanese will take the large ps3, after rejecting the exbox.

japanese rejected the xbox because there almost no japanese games on it, you are really a fucking idiot if you think its because of the size.

I don' t care what size the consoles are, its not like Im thinking " hmmm... yeah ps3 would be too big for me to shove in and out of my ass, dont like it. " Really I don' t give a fuck.

you mean you' ve never seen an X-box before? :)

from those pics it' s clear to me that PS3 looks much better in horizontal position (360 was clearly made with vertical placement in mind)

Shit , it really is bigger and it' s not just a slight difference , but that shape and design make up for it IMO (I hate it when there' s something good to say about Sony bleh...)

Hmm I always complained about the size of the original Xbox , but now I see that it was all about it' s design.PS3 is huge , but with that glossy finish it looks like a 600$ equipment, while 360 looks like some cheap PC (unless you have a nice black shell for it - I' m definitely getting one).

It' s amazing how huge PS3 actually is.When they release the smaller version -PSfree, it will be as big as the old Xbox :)

Why do you care about the design? Do you want it to look pleasant when you thrust it in & out of your anus?

The Xbox was kind of ... well a black box...but I didn' t notice too much since I usually play in a dark room

The only thing I dislike about the PS3 is the fact that it' ll weigh 11lbs or so, and thats about like what 3lbs-4lbs heavier then the Xbox...

THEN AGAIN, who really moves their councle that often besides the occasional lan party...

I guess noone told you that you can actually play games on them...

I want my system to look good, that' s for sure , but I wouldn' t choose one over the other by it' s looks alone.

the Original xbox design was in its name, it was a box with an x on top. Something the 360 is lardgely missing. Thats why the 360 is inferior.

Ps3 looks nice, all the consoles do. Size isnt a problem, I am more worried about the noise.

Evil man is evil.

And about the design- the 360 doesnt make much sense then,why do you have chrome on your discplayer while the rest around it is white?
It look stupid,if you ofc dont get the chrome faceplate.

However the 360 looks good still,espeically if its standing up.

The 360 isn' t about the X as the Xbox was. Now it' s all about the 360 degrees and you see that everywhere. The ring of light. The Xbox guide button and the power button. Very effective. Much cooler than an X. You don' t even call it the Xbox360. It' s just 360. That' s why the 360 is superior to the Xbox.

I read, somewhere (forgive the lack of links but i can' t remember where it was), that the PS3 would run as ' loud' as the PStwo.
Now maybe that' s bogus, probably, but i' ll keep hoping ^_^

you are really a fucking idiot if you think its because of the size.


other than the fact that space is the most precious commodity in urban Japan. But other than that, you' re basically right


It processes stuff. fast.

but maybe not as fast as some people would like, but its fast, but then again I dont care. Why are you reading this?

I don' t mean to come across as a cell hater or anything. I recognise that it does things brilliantly (game engine, video encoding etc.) but there' s also things it does poorly (single thread anything, has a hard time running AI code).

All they hear is this " Cell is the base for all next generation tech" stuff that keeps coming from sony. so they don' t look at it objectively. It' s the same with blu-ray, as a generality, most people know little about the blu-ray drive in the PS3 or what advantages it has. So the only line of " credible" information they can get is straight from the sony headmen at conferences. I' m not saying 360/Wii don' t have their disadvantages, I' d be lying if I did, I just wish people would look at things with a more objective mindset.

I did a size comparison a while back using the officially released dimensions and i bindled ion all of the current gen consoles too (including the slimline PS2) to drive the point home for those that hadn' t seen a 360 upclose. I made a point about the PS3 being the largest console, even larger than the original Xbox, but i think the photo' s from this article do a much better job of showing just how big the unit is.

Sony NEED to shrink the beast as quickly as possible. Xbox was slated by everybody for being so " numb" and " bulky" and sure PS3' s curved shiny exterior helps but nobody wants something huge, hot and noisy in their livingroom/bedroom/whatever.

ps3 is curved at the top becuase its meant to be on top of your media centre equipment.

Hope it dosent crush anything.

No, you' re wrong. The 360 is inhaled and the PS3 is exhaled so that you can place them on top of each other as they were one.

what i find ironic is that last gen. sony said power didnt matter, then they thought the ps3 was better than the 360 so they decided that power did matter. Then they found out PS3 wasnt more powerful, so now they say power doesnt matter, again. also last gen. they said games mattered and they were going to sell the console, But now 360 is getting GTA 4( A sequal to the series that sold the most games on the ps2) so sony is saying it didnt matter last gen. and it wouldnt effect the sells of either console.

But last gen. sony said the xbox wouldnt sell because of its larger size, but now who has the biggest console this gen? besides if size mattered on a consoles wouldnt that mean the gamecube would have sold the most last gen?
