Yes, I have played a PS3. I had a go at one in the EB Games stores. I played Need For Speed: Carbon, a game I have played on X360, PC and now PS3. To me, the game had the same visual and audio quality of the Xbox360, when compared to my PC, I found no difference at stock resolution. With the PC I increased it up to 1280 x 960 before my GFX card started to lag a bit here and there (Probably the Anti-Ailiasing). So I could have bought a $500 Xbox360 to play NFS Carbon for the same visual and audio experience or just played it on my $1200, 2 year old computer, which pisses it in just the same, and only slows down when I exceed the resolution of both PS3 and Xbox...

Now, maybe I shouldn't have just plainly said the PS3 was crap But from the perspective of gamer who has lived on both Console and PC, PS3 really disappointed me, I was expecting some good things from Sony, especially after the awesomeness that was the PS2. Now, to cover some of your other comments, PC's plug up to TV's just as quick as a PS3 these days. I frequently use mine to watch Bot videos, DVD's and for the odd game. PS3 rushed in with a motion controller after Nintendo demo'd theirs 6 months before at E3... And AFAIK, there haven't been any games released that take advantage of such a device (If you can correct me and show me a game, I'll be interested in chasing up some reviews for it).

One of the things that pisses me off the most about Sony right now is their utter lack of respect for the consumer. The outragous prices followed by the lack of supply for a demand they knew was there. It seems the new generation of consoles means more about emptying your wallet and getting shit all for it.... Only Nintendo have managed to keep at a sane price level, but they are lacking some of the high quality games like DOA and Gran Turismo. Where they are branching is a new direction, which we'll eventually see whether it's the right direction... So far it's looking good for them sales wise, out numbering the PS3 3:1 in sales, but still miles behind X360

so put your computer next to the tv and play that?
PS3 emulator wont take too long ;->
I am playing Supreme Commander in 1080P on my 37" TV (Pyrod 37" ~$1600 w00t go kmart)

there is an 8 way AMD board (well 2) and quad core AMD's do exist ;->

haven't seen an ATX 8 socket Intel board yet.

The multiprocessing you describe isn't good enough. thats just multi threading, as a rule one item will be far more demanding than pretty much all of the others put together IE graphics.
Parallelism needs to be designed in from the start.
your physics engine should run on as many processors as you have available. Got 16 cores? whats the point with a game that only has 4 threads.

That part of python kinda sucks at the moment and it bugs me. It has threading but the execution of python dosen't thread, if your python calls an external C function that will work properly but two maths intensive functions in python wont take advantage of multiple cores.

But I am just talking from a person who is just a 'Play Station'/normal non gamer guy who is happy with what he got. Not trying to razz ya or anything, just talking from the other side of the coin.

or a baseline conroe system ;->

I must be mistaken then, i thought they had quad cores out.

I saw a video where a bloke bought a PS3 on the first day in the US and smashed it with a sledge hammer in front of everyone else who were still waiting in the line.

That is the one. I saw a much shorter version the first time.
