Soooo, your basically on a PC?
|
Souped up? I dunno... seems more like souped down to me.
*ducks* Seriously though, the broad range of functionality of a PC is near-impossible to emulate on a console. Tell me, can your PS3 run Photoshop? Edit videos? Do sound editing? Can you program things using the controller? No? Didn't think so. =) Given that it would be quite possible to build a computer that is more powerful than the PS3 (albeit for more money, since Sony is taking a loss on the hardware), it's hardly accurate to call the PS3 a "souped up" computer. It's not any more powerful; just different. | |
Weeellll...
Likely, the PS3 would have a range of optimisations to its instruction set, processor(s) in general, graphics card(s) in general, that wouldn't be there for a PC, which would help make it basically a faster PC. All consoles do, as far as I understand the idea. But the hardware will be obsolete in six months time, so its moot. | |
Can you program things using the controller? Do you remember that program which comes with the demo disk for the ps2 i can't remember the name of it but its like BASIC. | |
I just waited 17 hours in line for my Nintendo Wii and haven't stopped playing it until I had to come to school. I haven't really slept either. Twilight Princess has to be the best game I have EVER played.

Find an open-source-type programmer to port something from x86 linux to ps3 linux, and sure :) It's not any more powerful; just different. Being different allows it to be more powerful in different areas (and of course, less in others). Having 7ish processors can really help parallelizable code. | |
I can do all that on my pc....
I hate the expression FTW if anyone cares =P, For The Win? It just doesnt go good with most sentences people throw it on the end of. "Blue Tooth Keyboard and mouse FTW!!! :D" Blue Tooth Keyboard and mouse FOR THE WIN!!! :D...I dont get it. | |
It is a Celebrity Squares reference. Usually they would say "I pick the center square (etc) for the win." It might not go exactly like that but you get the basic point.
| |
Do you know you can do that on other PCs?
| |
Can't you also get internet on a PSP?
