Please refrain from derailing the thread any further. Much appreciated.

your first post derailed it form ever being a decent thread.

Nevermind, Blue3 Woof. If you couldn't see the humor in the post, that's ok.

 if i did that in the wii forum you all would be screaming murderer.

Woof. I have yet to ever see you contribute anything positive to these boards. So shut up now or your out of here.

Okay if a 360 game had a streaming option with the HDD, then a game like SOCOM would work, just a 3rd party game.

BTW, some think the Core was dumb move, but think about this from a non-hardcore gamer. The Core establishes the 360 at $300. The premium may be preferred, but it says to them that they don't have to get it, so they have a choice to spend the extra money. They know they are getting something for it.

Plus when the 360 drops in price, the Core will go down to the magic $200, even if the Premium is $300. 

 Ah, found it:  http://cag.csail.mit.edu/ps3/blue-steel.shtml

MIT students created a PS3 based 6 SPE ray trace engine getting 10-15 FPS realtime (which is a phenomenal task!)

I'm surprised they didn't get more than 15 FPS out of the Cell. I'm downloading the source code to check it out. :)

 Nice, although it may take until the PS5 for such scenes to be at a decent framerate, with full texturing and shading, and be interactive.

Yet this is not surprising that the Cell can even do this. I've stated before that the Cell's power is in long term processing, like CGI, MRI, and folding@home, rather than gaming.

Not that it's not good for gaming, but that it's not as far ahead in that type of processing as it is in others, due to the need for all the components to work just as fast in real time gaming.
