PS3 Commercials

http://www.ps3era.com/51/news/sonys_first_playstation_3_commercials.html

only 10 days left, the commercials maybe should have came out around halloween. dont tell me that baby one aint freaky

I love the commercials.. first one I saw was the baby one which freaked me the hell out.. but I cant wait to buy the Ps3.. ohh man..

I saw the baby one for the first time about a week before Halloween. That shit was creepy. But unbelieveably ingenious.

Hi, I always ask the stupid questions. What's the difference between the PS2 and the PS3? I know all about the ps2 and nothing about the PS3 except for the new blu-ray technology.

I don't really know too much, I don't think other than specs anyone else does either.

It will be far superior to the PS2 though. Unlike the 360.

there are vids on google vid or youtube of the convention and they explain everything. even the commericals do. for one, the PS3 has 8 processors, if you watched the vids i linked while the PS2 has...one, maybe 2. i think im reading only one here.

or go here www.howstuffworks.com (http://www.howstuffworks.com)

and yeah, i never did see the great thing about the 360. sure it's better than the xbox and slightly better if not just better in general than the PS2 but i dont see a great leap the way i see the wii is compared to gamecube and PS3 to PS2. aside from halo3, what is microsoft running with? the two new consoles bothgive more options with the axis controllers and sony always has a better list of games plus there are more awaited games on the PS3 than 360. shoot, 360 has just been making computer games for their system, not even releasing new titles: DOOM, FEAR, the indian one. They're all comp games depsite whichever came first, i still dont need the system to play them.

I think the new line nintendo is talking about, less kiddy stuff and more for the people that can afford their system and games, plus the breakthrough with PS3 could end microsoft. i just dont see what they have besides different games. Comparing games released at the same time, King Kong had the same effects for the most part on all and final fantasy XII just shows that the console has been able to play with great visuals, the games are just getting tweaked more.

Umm its not actually 8 processors, its 1 unlike the 3 the 360 has, 360>PS3 when it comes to possessing power although the graphics chip on the PS3 is something the 360 would have better utilised........................

Umm not to hard of an accomplishment since the PS2 had crap graphics in apposed to that of the XBOX, but lets keep to comparing next gen to next gen shall we:icon16:

:thefinger

PS2 still owns XBox.

Yea I don't know, I've always stood by Microsoft for making the better console hardware wise, but there is just something about sony that makes it cool. Take a look at Gears of war on the 360 for example, its damn awesome but if that game was on the PS3 with the same graphics, same sound it would somehow be unbeatable, fuck I'm one of many sucked into sony's hype lol although I still like to keep to facts.........

So the PS3 has a blade server which holds 8 chips while the 360 has three?

I was thinking of a 360, why is it so bad? And I'm a sony fan, but I don't care to spend 600 dollars on the new system.

lol guys come on really, Do you know what 8x 3.2ghz CPU's would be like??? I do, its one Core running at 3.2GHz split into 8 parts, the 360 on the other hand has 3 sperate cores. This is just another one of those ploys that sony or IBM for that matter is making to sell there shit. Just like the Emotion chip, Full of it. Remember the CG's they put out for last E3, notice how none of there games look like that, also compare games like Gears of war (360) with that of what the PS3 has to offer, honestly if it had 5 more CPU's than the 360, way over twice the power, you would notice, sadly you don't.................................

You talk like you have played on one.

And as far as games are concerned, the 360 has had a year to come out with games. The PS3 hasn't even been released yet, so you can't comment on the amount/quality of the games coming, but I assure you they will easily overtake the Microsoft games like always.

i dont know why everyone bashes the 360, i have gears of war and the graphics are unbelievable. fear, altho a cpu game, also has great graphics and gameplay. ps3 does look amazing, but for 600 dollars, it should b. they also will have a short supply cause of problems with the blu ray laser. id take a xbox over a ps2 anyday, but the difference in 360 and p3s will have to wait until i experience it. if ur a true gamer, u'll buy em both and enjoy each game on each system.....

I'm not really talking about games, I'm talking about hardware which was compared early on. I think that sony have the best games overall, that is why I'm also getting that console, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear solid, Tekken, just to name a few of my Fav games ever, although when the 360 comes out with the odd classic, like Halo, Gears of war etc, it is spectacular given the system specs over sony.......................................

Ok I swore i was going to take a break from this section but there is way too much bad info.


Btw to get this out of the way my post is not about game quality you guys can argue about that although most it seems comes down to personal preference. This post is about hardware.


First of all the 360 is far far more powerful than a PS2 I do not know where you guys have the info that its similar or less powerful.

Two the PS3 hardware wise is a bit more powerful than the 360 but the power gap suggested by marketing departments is completely false. And here is why:


The PS3 has 1 processor not 8, its comprised of a main core dubbed PPE (core roughly based on the IBM power-pc architecture most commonly found till recently in the G5 apple computers), the rest of seven cores dubbed SPE are far simpler in design and will be most likely used for specialized instruction sets.(i believe the number of SPE cores has been reduced to 6 a while ago do to the abysmal yields the fabs had with the cell)

The 360 has 3 cores instead designed by IBM and based on the power pc architecture. So...each of these cores is quite similar with the main core in the PS3 so you can somewhat think of them as 3 cell PPEs with no SPEs.

On paper the cell has a slight edge over the 360 proc but the 360 has the advantage of being simpler to write code for. (do not underestimate how hard is to optimize code for a design like the cell - for further info look up what Carmack has to say about it)


As far as the gpu is concerned they are again not that separated. They are both loosely based on competing designs from ATI and Nvidia, x1900 and 7900 respectively. Yes they are quite modified for their new specific implementation but as you can see from benchmarks both the 1900 and 7900 gpus are very close in performance therefore considering both companies' professionalism and experience its very unlikely that their derivatives are that far apart.


So as you can see the two consoles are not that far apart, anyone with a 360 can confirm the quality of its graphics as a testament to its power.

That being said I thing both consoles have ridiculous prices (sony in particular) for being what they are just a "very fancy toy". Calling them anything else is self delusion or marketing BS. But again its your guys' money and if your enjoyment is worth that then ofcourse its your choice. Some people like console games more than others.

Me personally I might pick up a Wii sometimes simply because has a far more appropriate cost for what it is and the games will be focused on being fun rather than fancy graphics; furthermore its simple games are easy to pick up and therefore prefect for parties. Oh I love to make bad Wii jokes;)

Good explanation. My roomate was a hardcore pc gamer before he got his 360 and he actually likes the fact that microsoft has made games based from computers because of the easy codes. I will probably get the Wii before a 360 let alone a PS3 since it's cheaper and that controller is sick (i heard the wii can also have games downloaded to it as well). The PS3 isn't worth gettin' until Gran Turismo 5 comes out if you ask me, though the new games that i've seen for it look really really good. we already have a 360 in the house and the graphics are incredible compared to other systems (we have a big screen TV also:naughty: ) but it's not THAT good to justify it's price and the game list isn't that stellar IMO plus i don't like the differences the 360 has done on some good games (madden 07 for example).

i hear many people say that the PS3 is too expensive but from what i gather, out of the box, the PS3 is better specced than the 360 in terms of the peripherals that comes in the box. What do you out of the box with the 360 and how much would it cost to get everything you get with the PS3?

I have halo 1 and 2, and i play them a lot. I'd be buying a X360 over PS3 for that reason only, if that is i decide to buy a new console at all. I think I'd get the Wii before i decide to get one of the other two. soley for the fun games like Super Smash, Mario Kart, and Mario Party.

As for the commercials, I liked the baby one and the rolling eggs one (not shown in your link).

Since when were modern computers only able to handle one process at a time? Last I checked, there were about 50 going on simeltaneously on this computer. Could they stretch the facts a little farther?

HP's commercial idea...

And who knew Halow Wars was coming out?

Halo wars I found out about this a few weeks ago I was so excited

You talk like you have played on one.


I did. But I get motion sickness when I play video games, so I don't give a crap if the graphics were tits or not. :icon16:

If you don't mind me adding to this conversation, i honestly don't care which has better hardware, its all about games. would you rather play a shitty game with awesome graphics or an awesome game with piss poor graphics. sure, if you ahve two really good games i'll probably go with the one with better graphics but it doens't make a huge difference.

I'm gonna wait until all three come out, then until they come out with really good games, and decide which one i want based on graphics, games, price, etc. i'll probably end up buying a 360 just for halo and if they come out with another forza game i'll buy that. the wii looks like it could be rediculously fun. nintendo has a knack for making really fun games and games that you can play with a big group of people. i went to a boarding school and can you guess which system everyone was playing in groups? the gamecube with super smash bros, mario kart, etc.

Also, the PS3 is alot more expensive so that'll probably come into play when i'm buying since you don't have much money when you're paying for university.

im getting the wii. im nintendo sold and they havent let me down yet. id get the 3 over the 360, but id rather have my 70-300 USM IS lense.

photography first, screw the consoles.
