Why does the Amiga keep getting brought into this discussion? How does the Amiga have any relevance to this discussion of PS3 design compared to 360 design? I find it funny when it's brought up though because it warrants a..."huh? What...Amiga?" reaction. By the way, Sieanr is correct in that the RSX was added quite late to the PS3 in the design process (especially if you consider that they were planning on releasing the system in late '05 and was only delayed because of the Blu-Ray specs not being finalized). I had a pretty long entry above talking about some of this, among other topics.

selnor: I'd be interested in seeing more of that developer's opinion as you said there were more entries. This has turned into an interesting thread.

MikeB brings up the Amiga whenever he finds an excuse - no matter how irrelavent.

Personally, I think part of his disdain for MS is because DOS "killed" the Amiga, in his mind. Furthermore, he has constantly referenced a comparison IBM made between the Cell and the Amiga, and how that means the PS3 is just like tha amazing amiga.

If you want some real fun, look up one of his older posts where he declares the Cell to be the pinnicle of thousands of years of human acheivement, and thats why people should appreciete it. All the while comparing it to the Amiga.
