I play gaming systems for their game lineup and have sworn by sony forever. The Ps3 has a multicore chip on it. That is all that has been revealed. According to an article, it was revealed that 1 of those chips alone has the power of the slowest supercomputer. With Nvidia's emotion engine.... I think PS3 will win this one on capabilities. X-box is using ATI. Good company.... they used to be #1 in my book. But that changed with the newer nvidia cards on the market. But the new PS3 is supposed to be revealed on Wednesday at E3 i heard. --Andrew -----Original Message----- From: JM Souter To: Multiple recipients of list Sent: Sun, 15 May 2005 20:35:28 -0700 (PDT) Subject: New Xbox 360 Rocks Wow, Redmond has thrown some pretty cool hardware at it. A PC with all this stuff in it would run close to 7-800 bucks at a quick guess. It's another "Big Gates Gamble" as I'm sure they are going to lose money on this again and hope to make it up with game software sales. Street price for the Xbox 360 will be somewhere between 300 and 400 bucks. Expect it in stores in time for the 2005 December Holiday Season. Here are some highlights: - 20-gig, detachable, upgradeable hard drive. The original had only an 8-gig nonremovable hard drive. - Three dual-core processors running at 3.2 gigahertz each. The original ran just one 733 megahertz Chip. - Half a GIG of RAM! The original: 64MB. - Three USB ports. The old Xbox had none and ditto with memory cards, the new one has two ports for 64-meg cards that can be used to save games, so you can be play on a friend's console. - Built-in extender for Windows XP Media Center, this is big. - Up to four wireless (!) controllers. - Sleek design with removable faceplate (like cell phones) - Plays DVD's, CD's and supports HighDef. Add a few speakers and you have a basic but very serviceable audio/video system. Pretty sweet. I have the original Playstation, and haven't played it much as of late. Could be time to upgrade. :) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 16 May 2005 23:56:00 -0400 From: Mike Shetzer To: Erpnotes , Ytsejam Subject: possessed stitch doll auction Message-ID: <000601c55a94$5692fb60$cdf7fea9@mizz> I dunno where I heard this first, but it occurred to me to look for this again after having heard of it when the auction was still up.
