Yeah, Blue-ray allows extra space for textures, if you install them to the hard drive, since the blue-ray is much slower than a typical dvd-rom.
The PS3 IS a powerful machine, I don't question that, but it has it's flaws as well, don't kid yourself.
When I was referring to the memory and textures, what good does having higher quality textures do when the system doesn't have enough memory to store it? If you recall the articles, MS almost went with 256mb of RAM in the 360, and they surveyed the developers to see what they wanted most, and you know what the answer was? More RAM. It cost MS a lot of money, but in the end it made the overall difference between the 360 and PS3 that much smaller.
My point is that you can add more effects all you want, but the similar amounts of RAM are going to keep the textures quality itself from looking significantly different between the two consoles.
I've worked on computers long enough to know a fair share about video technology (before 3dfx even), and let me tell you that the extra ram speed helps *moderately* at best, but alone it's not going to cause a "night and day" difference in between the systems as other aspects can.
Btw, I don't even really care about the 360 or PS3, but if you're going to start stating opinions and incomplete knowledge as facts, I'm gonna have to have a word with you. ;) I'll get a PS3 eventually when it becomes affordable, like $200 or so.
an x360 cost just 333 dollars to make.......a ps3 costs over 850+$ to make...........lol
again that stupid more ram question:-
ps3 has 512mb of ram vs x360 which has 512 mb of ram
x360 has 512mb of shared 512mb GRR3 at 700mnz
ps3 has 256mb of GDDR3 at 700mhz + 256mb of XDR at 3.2ghz
ssssooo ps3 has the same amount of ram
but XDR is very expensive and superior to GDDR3............the trash box is just trash being 1/3----1/10 as powerful as ps3
ps3 not only has 512mb of ram but 512kb of li cache + 1.8mb (256*7) of L2 cache.
this aggreagte cache is most advantaeous to ps3 ......so that it can do more direct mapping and avoid frequent slot collission.
at least know something before argueing with the CHAMP
Ok ok but can u please write like an adult? my eyes hurt with all these ............... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ---- and stuff!
