PS3 vs X-Box 360 (specs)

<< < (4/10) > >>

Jome:
PS3: Will come in 2 versions, one that will have a 160GB harddisk, and one that will have a 400GB harddisk and can burn BluRay disks.
XBox: Will come in 2 versions, one with 20GB harddisk, and another one with 40GB.

Seems like Sony wants to beat Microsoft in every possible area.
400GB + BluRay burner..  :o

Thirteen:
why burn blu ray when the format is dead?

for me it all comes down to storage either way.. i've got an xbox fitted with a 320gb drive right now, setup as my media centre

whereas i've got my data on a PC in my garage and stream the media from there  ;)

so its pretty much stays where i download it to

It remains to be seen if Sony can match XBox360's game titles though, seems like Microsoft did their job getting games for the new console.

no.. you are over simplifing the specs..

Overseer's conclusion is closest to that of the nerds... they say that the processing power for the PS3 is far better, but something about the RAM on the xbox makes it easier to process the same graphics at with lower processing speed

anyways, what i found weird is Sony's PSP can be hooked up to the Xbox 360 just like it was a hooking up to a computer

PS3 could suffer from texture thrashing..  PS3 _CANNOT_ keep all its textures in the same memory used by the video card, XBOX can...

PS3s secondary 'processing memory' is the same speed as the xbox's as opposed to its GPU memory which is faster..

textures are going to have to be copied between the two.. any decent programmer will tell you that WRITE operations are _very_ costly.

because PS3 has less video memory available any textures etc stored in memory not in the GPU half need be copied which involves a WRITE..

with XBOX360 the data will already been in memory and can be used..

this means with playstation programmers have to be careful about where they store their textures.. with xbox the have a far greater level of control and quicker access to it..

in fact.. the PS3 is more like the old xbox architecture, and xbox have moved on to a more flexible platform.


like i said.. xbox seems more flexible

i'm also sure PS3 is gonna be pricey... sony have gone all out for the 'best' shit.. microsoft have been more restrained
some of the stuff on PS3 seems overkill..


i dont know much about the processor technology used in PS3 to compare properly.. anyone got a link?
