On the contrary the PS3 has 512mb of RAM. It just splits 256mb of it for dedicted video memory (textures and such) and the other 256mb is dedicated to helping the SPEs with physics, animation, and AI... ala Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, MGS4, and Heavenly Sword.

It has 256 megs of what is considered "conventional" RAM. General purpose, Random Access Memory.

When we're talking about PCs and people state how much RAM they're using, they don't include video RAM. They're two separate entities used for very different purposes. Combining them is disingenuous.
