Sony plans a lot of things.

The PlayStation 2 has something as great as the Emotion Engine, and it can even run Linux, but it's still considered a gaming machine

I can't belive they're still talking about that thing.

Not smart to make the hard drive an add-on again. Sony might want to re-think this, judging by Square-Enix comments.

Tanaka does not commit to the identity of the next generation title, stating that it may be a successor to FFXI, or it may be a completely separate property. He does admit that the mysterious demo clip shown at Microsoft's Xbox 360 E3 press conference was an early look at the game, which is currently in the "research" stage of development.

As for the title's platform, Tanaka is again a bit too shy to talk. He doesn't specifically state that the game is coming to the Xbox 360.

He does, however, state that the PlayStation 3 will probably need a hard disk in order to see Final Fantasy XI-style games, stating he was surprised to hear that Sony is considering not including a hard disk with the system. Character growth still requires a hard disk, explains Tanaka, and this will be the case unless everyone has a fiber optic internet connection (and even if that were the case, server charges associated with storing and transfering gigabytes worth of data would make monthly user fees rise to ten times their current level).

He's quite excited about running Linux...it's too bad some Xboxs are already running it.

Lmao that guy is hilarious. He is trying as hard as he can to get people to believe that the ps3 is the most powerful thing ever.

The PS3 could perform sexual favors on me while gaming, and I'd still buy an Xbox 360 over it because Microsoft has a clear, intelligent, feature-rich online gaming strategy. Sony's online gaming strategy resembles a game of Pin the Tail on the Donkey at a 5-year-old's birthday party.

I don't know, if it did sexual favors, I might consider it over the 360.

But since it doesn't my choice will be easy.

Sony's casual tactics for people not wise to their marketing. Sony stated the PS2 could activate an atomic bomb and all kinds of crazy ****. It's just to get people talking.

Two cautionary words for those who believe Sony's PS3 hype: Emotion Engine.

'Nuff said.

Can somebody please tell me what the hell is Linux/unix and what's it is used for? Is it for hacking or merely a nerd's Windows?

I don't see why yall are so closed minded to Sony... I'm getting both and I'll let the systems speak for theirselves... Obviously yall aren't that way.
