Moosferatu Posted April 23, 2005 I was kind of hoping they'd make it, you know, circular. Why the heck are they calling it '360' again? It looks sort of ugly, like the PS2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its amazing what you can do in terms of space efficiency when you build something that's designed to only work one way and not be opened and fiddled with by tinkering amateurs.

Jake Posted April 23, 2005 Er right... but let's just pretend for example you took the hard drive out of the Mac mini. That's an utterly tiny computer, a sliver of the size of the xbox 360. If Apple can do that I'm sure Microsoft engineers have pulled off what the 360 is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ysbreker Posted April 24, 2005 the PS3? the xbox 360? Which one is real? Which one is fake? Who knows? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Intrepid Homoludens Posted April 24, 2005 Is that the PS3? That is beautiful, like sculpture. I love both of them, really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Posted April 24, 2005 is the ps3 really expected to still only have 2 controller ports? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrChlorophyll Posted April 24, 2005 PSM had a thing on this or last issue, supposed to be 4 wireless ports and two plug-ins for backwards compatability. I believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
netmonkey Posted April 24, 2005 Is that the PS3 or a waffle iron? Quote I wonder how microsoft is supposed to fit cooling for 3 cpus running at 3ghz plus a high-end ati graphicsolution into that?!?!?! For nerdy technicalities, the Mac Mini is running on a PowerPC low power processor that doesn't heat as much. the G5 powerpc requires inmense amounts of cooling, which Apple engineered to make it work. So, I'm now guessing it's that big because they have to fit in the cooling, but how loud is it going to be...? I guess we'll find out on May 12th. Maybe.

Intrepid Homoludens Posted April 24, 2005 Well, that's what I meant by performance. I'm already leaning towards XBox 360 over PS3, but mostly because of what I already know about Xbox and how MS are facilitating a more streamlined way for developers to make games for it. The PS3.....well, we know practically nothing about it right now so I can't compare yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
