ON TOPIC(instead of feeding the troll) overclocking the cell is as easily possible as it was on the psp. if it happens, it would be a max of a 10% increase(like the psp), they'll use a firmware update for existing systems and the new systems will have it standard. it would have the same effect as upgrading the CPU in your PC.

another thought??? what if they just unlocked the 8th SPE? it would let new games take advantage, while old games are unaffected.

@valen200, where do you work, wal-mart? no 1080p sets at all? that's pathetic, i live in west texas and the local bestbuy outsells hdtvs about 3:2 over sdtvs. there are many consumer electronic stores in dallas that don't even carry sdtvs anymore.

First, the PSP isn't overclocked.  The CPU is designed to run from 1-333 mhz but was locked at 222 mhz to conserve battery life and heat dissipation.    Sony didn't send a firmware to overclock the PSP, they sent a firmware to unlock the CPU full speed.

That in mind the PS3 is already at it's designed speed.  You can't overclock a closed system CPU such as those in home consoles.   

 

GranT, I respect your opinion and all but do you think you could start thinking them over for a few minutes before you post them?  Not only can X360 do 1080p but if screen resolution was so important, console gaming would have died years ago with the advent of SVGA monitors for PCs 2 decades ago.
