Can anyone say...pwn?

I've never been impressed by Sony... Been watching games on the PS2 and to be perfectly honest they're not exactly inspiring in any way, shape or form. People brag about its incredible graphics, and yet it looks rubbish compared to the GC and XBox games. I compared resident evil or teh GC and the PS2, and after playing it on the GC it actually hurt my eyes playing the same game on Sony's "super console".
I don't get the XBox though... Almsot all the games on the XBox are on the PC nowadays, so what's the godamned point? The GC just has a few games that look and play really well, but are mostly little kiddies games that last maybe 8 hours of playing (except Resident Evil which actually felt like a proper game should).
Although the new consoles look snazzy, they're never going to meet the standards of a well specc'd computer system. For 300 quid I'd rather upgrade my RAM and CPU so I can play the real hardcore games at top settings, like CS Source, Doom 3, Half Life 2 and Lineage 2.
I know there's an age difference between the consoles, but the idea of something that's good is that it will be future-proof, and with a bit of extra cash a PC cannot fall behind, wheras a console just dies after maybe 2 or 3 years...
I say PC for teh win! Consoles for teh bin!
PS: I have had all 3 consoles and my PS2 died twice (once the thing overheated afetr 3 hours of gameplay, and the other time the mainboard actually fell out of place and short-circuited), and my GC and XBox have both not yet failed me (although the XBox crashed once after about 5 hours gaming).

You don't have to pay with the free silver service, only for the gold service.
This is M$ on silver:
What are you talking about? The PS2/PSP are nothing compared to PS3... they don't use the cell processor... games for this platform require extensive exclusive programming to utilize the hardware.
urbanfox said:
What has different processors got to do with anything? Sony could code a top level coder that would basically be the same as the PSP but compiles into PS3 base level code
Think about it its like coding in a language such as C++ or Java it compiles down into a language the processor can understand The same can be done with the Cell chip
Features of XBox Live Silver said:
Sorry Urban I dont see anything about actually playing against others, Thats what I was saying. And that seems to confirm it if its the only features
You can talk to your friends but not play against em lol crazy...
MiloFoxburr said:
Developing for the PS3 will be unlike developing for any other console, google it or something.
Also, my point was to show that XBOX ONLINE IS FREE because you said it was pay-to-play.
urbanfox said:
Learn to read fully I said "unlike the Xbox360 where it appears you gotta pay to play people online" And from what the free service offers it appears that Im right lol
And every console is different than the others it hasnt stop multi format releases before and it wont stop it now
MiloFoxburr said:
But you don't have to pay to play online....
Your not understanding what I am saying.. the Cell is drasticly different from the current PS2/Xbox/Xbox 360, the programming is very unique for just that system.
i googled the ps3 and came up with a few diff images of it, which is the real ps3? i got a ps2 and i like it but i wud prefer a xbox 
ALL images of the PS3 that are floating around at the moment are just fan-made impressions of what they think it might look like. In other words, they're fakes.SkyDragon said:i googled the ps3 and came up with a few diff images of it, which is the real ps3? i got a ps2 and i like it but i wud prefer a xbox

Where there urban do you see "play against others" I dont, I see the option to talk to them and access the XBox Live MarketPlace Theres no option to actually for example go and play Perfect Dark Zero against 20 people
The option to play others in games isnt a feature of the basic package according to that.
And Urban just because a system is drastically different to code for doesnt make it harder It could and maybe the easiest system to code for + For all we know the nintendo console could be just as drastically different
