It's appalling to me how many of you pretend to understand computers and processors and GPUs when the majority of you are talking complete bullshit. OP is laughable at best and doesn't deserve a response as it is complete and utter garbage. You obviously have NO knowledge of streaming data.

Rant from a Computer Science Engineering student...

Amen to that (from someone who actually _built_ computers 25 years ago..).

Me I'd find it extremely funny if Sony came out with a software hack that could control Natal from a PS3 (after all, they have the SPUs in their cell processor and some of those are still idling along in today's games...)

Hah, way to beat me to the Amen ;)

If Natal runs off of USB, which I think most of us agree it will, I agree it'd be kind of fun to see what the PS3 could do with it.  Best we'd likely see from that though is a PS3 running linux that's hacked a natal to work somewhat haha.


Hmmm. a few points not just to you but to the person claiming to be a student of computer engineering ( the 1 millionth on the net ). There is a CPU and Ram in Natal. M$ talk about ADVANCED streaming for a reason. That advanced streaming is not available in todays USB's on PC's or any other configuration. M$ explicitly designed the 360 with that in mind. Is this what Natal is designed for? Who knows. Is it possible sure.

Also, it doesn't have to even be good enough to enhance the games that much. Remember the N64? Expansion pak that enhanced the capable resolution? Natal could simply be used to enhance all future 360 games to 1080p 60 FPs and nothing else. Instantly the games would become so crisp. That is a definate possibility, after all I refuse to believe that M$ designed a much faster USB with a different set of rules for no reason. And no it wouldnt work on PS3, as it doesnt have M$ advanced streaming USB for a start and isnt registered on the motherboard directly to the ram, CPU and GPU.
