"Sony scared the bejeezus out of Microsoft in March, 2001, when it announced it would spend $400 million on an alliance with Toshiba and IBM."

"But Akrout said Bill Gates of Microsoft called up IBM CEO Sam Palmisano and essentially offered to pay a price that Palmisano couldn’t refuse. More than a billion dollars was at stake."

It looks like MS paid more (1 bil) than Sony (400 mil)???

"Two years into the console's life cycle, the undoubted graphical potential of the machine has been realised"

"undoubted graphical potential"??? I thought everyone was doubting PS3 graphical potential. I must have been dreaming...

I thought Aaron was trying to sound cool and failed.

Didn't Toshiba advertise HD-DVD on Superbowl last year?

So, now gaming sites are building hype for their reviews.

Year that console was out?
Processing power?
Graphics?
Controls?

Without agreeing on this one, the whole argument is just for fun.

While you're at it, don't forget Blu-ray sales.

Are there any PS3 settings specific for PS2 games? I only know of selecting progressive scan, but that's part of a game settings.

I've been happy with my PS3 out of the box for year and a half now.

I'll see if the bellow will make improvements:
2. Turn on Super-White
3. Turn on RGB Full Range
4. Make sure Cross Color Reduction Filter is on

I'd kind of hate to see that I could've had it better, but if it does, then better late than never.

Well, I'm not sure about their side (I guess you mean if they have connection issues), but I can rephrase it: There is no noticeable lag on Warhawk servers. I rarely play other multiplayer games.

What I was trying to say is that the author of this article was trying to make the consoles look equal. Kind of like Cadillac has 4 doors and 4 wheels, and so does the Chevrolet, but Chevrolet costs less, therefore it's a better buy.

I agree about MS trying to find it's place. Either casual gamer market got bigger since the Wii or it was hard to differentiate it from hard-core when one console dominated in the last gen. Since Wii is only casual gamer machine, now it's apparent ho...

I guess the idea is to have customers looking for a console thinking:

"PS3 has avatars, XBox has avatars. PS3 $400, XBox $200. XBox is a better deal."

"If I want to hang out with a bunch of losers, I don't need to turn on my PS3."
So, you guys will be watching TV?

Yeah, those doom and gloom articles certainly try to keep pace with Blu-ray growth.
