Re: XBOX 360 vs. PS3 vs. Revolution: Game On!

Sony’s let go of the final specs and shots of the PlayStation 3. Here you go!

It will support Blu-ray (obviously), DVD±R/W, CD-R/RW
Backwards compatible with the PlayStation 2 and original Playstation
One 3.2GHz Cell processor—total system performance rated at 2.18 teraflops (uh, that’s actually about twice what Microsoft is claiming the Xbox 360 will do); it will have 256MB system RAM 3.2GHz, and 256MB GDDR VRAM at 700MHz
The nVidia graphics will be called the RSX (”Reality Synthesizer”), and will trump the Xbox 360 with 1080p (yes, that’s a p) graphics support.
Memory Stick Duo slot, and very surprisingly, an SD and CF slots
Bluetooth support with up to seven wireless controllers
Six USB system ports

A couple interesting things there. Power means little to me until we see what the games actually look like and what the system actually DOES with that power.

But the 1080p is very interesting.

Most interesting of all is the inclusion of compact flash! I wonder what that means? Will Sony be giving up with their Power Stick memory in the future? Why include support for a competator? Very interesting...
