I MISS CARTRIDGES.

 

Me too, no moving parts, lower power consumption. Almost completely devoid of load times except for a few scarce exceptions. The ability to add chips to assist main processors etc. I sometimes wonder if with all the advances in flash memory if we'll ever see a cart based system again in the future.

 

It'll never happen because of cost to produce them.

 

 

Except flash memory today is much cheaper and far more flexible than ROM memory of the past. DS is a testament to that. Originally PSP touted a higher storage space for games but DS has surpassed it and the games are cheaper to purchase, generally speaking of course.

lol @ this thread.

Still, kudos to souixan for setting everyone straight.

 

Urm, he didnt set anything straight.

His assesment is just plain wrong.

 

 

Okay then if it's wrong prove me wrong. I'm only going from specs on tech sites and from manufacturers. It's not to say the 360 outperforms the PS3 and I'm not going on bias. To be quite truthful the 12x speed might be moot anyway as most 360 games are DL anyway.

 

Edit: If I'm wrong I'll happily retract my statement and gladly admit to it, but I'm pretty confident in most of what I said. I should note I still give the battle to the 2x blu-ray drive because it reads higher density discs more effeciently as most DVD's need to be dual layer for the more modern games with bigger graphics.
