How can you compare your computer to something that doesn't exist, yet?

Because he is ignorant. You can't possibly say your PC will be better than any next-gen consoles. Now in my opinion I find my PC to be more fun than my PS2, but I have played some really fun games for PS2 before. Gameplay over graphics, man.

continuation of rant:

also I do not see why you need such graphics power when your output is a regular TV oOo:

unless you buy one of those $2000 plasma screen monsters the PS3 would be using 95% of it's power for details that will be grainy anyways.

considering that many people stick their console in out-of-way locations (read: above VCR in crowded entartainment center) they'll have to have one hell of a cooling system or it'll melt.

Also we never know what Intel is working on, because they don't announce a new chip until it's ready for release.
Sony has to announce early, since many of their patrons are teens they need save-their-money/beg-their-parents time before it comes out biggrin:

6 years ago... How is that cocoon you're living in? Cosy?

I don't believe any of this hype, by the way. I never bought a PS2 or Gamecube or Xbox. Nice toys to own but I can't afford to pay the money for them and the games when they have finite longetivity.

In the time I've owned a PC (since 1998) I have only bought around 4-5 games and I've never been bored of it, only having to upgrade it two times, each time costing approximately £200 ($320 or so).

If I had been a console fan I'd have probably bought around 50 games (at around £30 each - that's £1500) and 3 consoles (at approximately £200 each, that's £600.

Plus that would be without all of the other bonuses you get with a PC - Downloading video, MP3s, porn, communication, demos, forums (nooo!), Kazaa/Imesh/IRC and so on.

If I had the money I'd go out and buy the consoles. But I don't.

So I won't.

What he said. That case above is concept art by fans and developers. Nothing was confirmed yet. PS3 is being kept under close wraps by Sony.
