Can anyone name one game the PS3 will offer at launch that makes it even worth it? I can't.

well, lets be technical with these specs.... you got listed "218 "GFLOPS"...uggh....theoretically...its "2.18 TFLOPS"....

Actually 0.218 TFLOPS ;)
This is also only when running at single precision and all units are being fed with 100% efficiency which is impossible to achieve. But compared to the 15.2 GFLOPs of a P4 @ 3.8 GHZ this is truely a monster to be reckoned with! This isn't Sony Propaganda but these are figures also published by IBM.

BTW: XBox 360 'only' achieves 45 GFLOPs ;)

I havn't been to into console's in the last couple of years but if these things are able to push towards mouse/ keyboards for some types of games along with thier regular controlers. I might just get one.

either way all these sony and m$ fanbois are acting like 3 yr olds on christmas morning sure its exciting, but is 5 posts in every forum not sufficient...

anyways both look powerful, i say sony still wins though....

The Xbox 360 sounds too ugly to be bought. You got Xbox to begin with, and then ...360 wtf?

No thx, PS3 if I ever get around to getting a new console.

Both consoles look great. I can't wait to see how the cell processor in the PS3 works out and see if it can hit it's theoretical 2 tflops.

Between Processors, Video subsystem and RAM, I think the two boxes will be fairly close. Maybe the PS3 being a bit faster similar to what the X-Box was over the PS2.

I'm gonna go for th eXBox 360 myself. MS confirmed that it will be backwards compatible. That combined with the media center connectivity will make it the ideal replacement console for me.
