Finally I can say that PS3's are shit. I have played Fight Night round 3 on the xbox 360 and on the PS3 and I can say that the PS3 sux arse, I have played alot of games on the PS3 and finally found a game I could compare between the two consoles and say that overall playability is far better on the xbox 360 and the PS3 takes way tooooo long to load

really... that’s strange. Professional reviewers online seem to say quite the opposite.

Give us one reputable example? Everyone knows that the ps3 has had a weak launch, with very few games worth buying. Even resistance is average at best. It does nothing new.

It will be great in the future but definetly not now.

:(

Give it a year & they’ll be creating much more amazing results with the new cell processor in the PS3, it's only early days.

And where did you get those figures from??? just curious, i must be looking at wrong sites.

yeah those figures are total shit

wtf did you get them from ?

on paper the ps3 has more processor power

but 2 things stand out immedietly:

Multithreading 7 processors effectivily is difficult and makes larger code that is less eficient.anyone remember the sega saturn ? it was effectivily 2x as powerfull as the ps1 , could even do basic 3d shading similar to n64/voodoo 1 1st generation 3d machines . but it was very hard to program efficiently and many publishers just gave up virtually no one used it to its full capabilities and most cross platform games were identical between saturn and ps1.

and

PS3 and 360 have similar memory bandwiths . they will both have a bit of a bottleneck there as time goes on . this will tie the ps3 down a bit more as its raw processing speed is higher but it will struggle to use it all against its memory constraints . going back in time early pentium 4 processors which didnt use ddr memory buses were actually slower than pentium 3s until we got ddr , ddr2 and rambus to lift that bottleneck . even now memory bandwith is paramount and always and issue with all modern processors including these consoles . this will definetly tie the 2 machines together a bit more than processor power suggests. also i like the xbox360 unified memory achitecture . games these days are generally graphics heavy and its a good idea to be flexible in opening up as much resources to graphics as you can . wont be a huge biggie but a good idea.

this is not ps3 bashing , ill be getting one . just dont expect games that are a full generation ahead of the 360 . they will probably end up being better but only slightly . there will be no major quantum leap or anything like that. think ps2 vs xbox . xbox is generally a bit better but lots of games are virtually the same on both platforms. a lot of that is publishers economy of scale too , no point making essentially 2 games when you can make 1

Wikipedia & other sites, simple google search. It's the total CPU processing speed.

Oww & don’t give any weak excuses about the new cell CPU being too hard to program for, sure it maybe be difficult in the beginning but anything is when you have to learn something new, with time they’ll master it. Then for the next generation there’ll be something different again, & then they’ll have to adapt & utilise that technology, it’s just the evolution of computers really.

I’ll agree the launch could have been better but I wouldn’t call it weak, GT HD is fair f'ing impressive! looking forward to games 1 year down the road.

I found this pretty interesting on the Cell processor.

So this is turning into system wars.. Hardware definately doesn't give a console the upper hand.. Lets look at XBOX vs PS2, PS2 sold a whole lot more, and its hardware was pretty inferior compared to the XBOX.

At the moment, there's nothing out, nor will there be in a year or two that will completely use the 360's processors. Games that run on a 2Ghz pc, ran beautifully on a 700Mhz XBOX, and however odd Mhz the PS2 had (300-400). Consoles don't use full operating systems and therefore aren't tied down as much as computers.

Currently the PS3 doesn't have any strong titles on it. And by that I mean titles that define the console. The 360 has a few. And currently it has the upper hand.

To think hardware is what defines a console is foolish. Look at the wii, It's got the hardware of a gameboy and still its innovation and makes it great.

Ps. what's up with the 360 elite... what a waste of money >_>

really... that’s strange. Professional reviewers online seem to say quite the opposite.

Yes mate I have had first hand experience, and as for online game play I'd hate to see how long you would have to wait to get a game with it taking so long to load.

umm?

have you played the R:FOM online? loading time is not long at all...

What do you want from launch title games?

ohh and fanboys are funny LOL!

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
