Re: Denis Dyack: 360, PS3 Are Equals

That's cute FF... but deep down inside I hope you don't REALLY believe your PS3 and 3D0 comparison is true... right? RIGHT?

It is sad if you really do...

He'll own one, don't let him fool you.

Re: Denis Dyack: 360, PS3 Are Equals

lol

I think FF will go broke if he continues the trend next gen.

360, then a PS3, then sell the the 360, then buy back the 360 and sell the PS3, then buy a slim PS3 and sell the 360....

The only problem with the 3DO argument is that it didn't have a base before that system...PlayStation definitely does.

That chart just shows how sony is just being themselves. Always trying to lie and make themselve look better. I think they might feel afraid of the competition lol..

Re: Denis Dyack: 360, PS3 Are Equals

This is just a FAQ taken from IGN as they were building it, so the massess would know about the PS3. Again the PS3 has 512 total memory allocated to the system. MS, has 512 unified which is easier for developers.

Yes they both have 512MB of RAM, but the 360 also has 10MB of eDRAM. And maybe the rumor is true about the PS3's OS taking up more memory.

The split memory about the PS3 has been known since last years E3 and bigfnjoe just posted the major nelson papers that was discredited within the article....LOL.

How much RAM will the PS3 have?
256MB of XDR Main RAM @ 3.2GHz and 256MB of GDDR3 VRAM @ 700MHz, or a total of 512MB for the entire system. The RSX graphics chip can actually use all 512MB of system RAM; it is not limited to the 256MB of GDDR3 RAM.

Yikes, read what i posted again. Never said the PS3 didn't have 512mb of TOTAL memory.

Split memory-architecture is DIFFERENT than having access to memory in the same pool for the reasons i mentioned in my previous post.

The PS3 OS was rumored to take up 96mb in the test kits.

Break it off for me. What's the significance of the eDRAM??

This is the funniest thread. Lot less fanboys in here than I thought but man, what a way to start it off.......

edit: That's what eDRAM is. Interesting.

It gives the 360 GPU(Xenos) a high speed storage area for frame buffer use, while it concentrates on textures and vertex data. That gives it the power to perform tasks like 2x/4x FSAA(no jaggies in game) with little penalty on frame rates.
