Xbox 360 errors

You think the ATI chip and the custom made IBM cpu inside of the Xbox 360 is better then the Cell chip and the Reality Sysithiser!!!!!
What have you been smoken, what ever it is give to me it has to be strong (joking)
The xbox 360 is still using texture mapping.
Playstation 3 is moved on to a much more complex system used in movies that looks to real to be true. Off course the ps3 still doesn't look as good as the movies because it can only do 2.13 trillaflops per second and a super computer render farm would put out about 36 trillaflops per second. But it is much better then the xbox graphics.
Another thing is the Sony,Toshiba,IBM Cell chip is almost twices as fast as the IBM chip in Xbox. Not by speed but other physics. Like the Cell has 7 cores(it has 8 but one is disabled for some reason) the Xbox only has 3 cores.
7 cores is like a core dedicated to each items of the game. One core for sound one for geomitrys one for programming one for the ps3 os etc.
Not to mention Ps3 use of br-rom with holds almost 10x a normal dvd like xbox uses.
Sony ps3 also has a high quality of definition I think 1280p can't remeber the exact number.
Bluetooth is much better then xbox wireless. there has been reports if you have 2 xbox 360's in the same room they will pick up the others controllor. and ps3 has 7wireless 1 wired (8 controllor support) xbox only has 4
problem with 8 controllor support is can you imagine a 13in tv split 8 times :O
but that is what DUAL SCREEN SUPPORT IS FOR!!! YEH YEH
I like the ps3 looks better then xbox360 when I first saw a xbox 360 I thought it looked really good. Then I saw it in person wow didn't look so good to me anymore. I dont know why but to me (if you look at it in person) the cd rom looks out of place or something I can't explain it.

WRONG WRONG WRONG!
1.The cell is an 8 core CPU, BUT ITS NOT A TRUE 8 CORE CPU. Its 1 fully functional core with 7 "cippled" cores that can only do basic stuff
2. The reality sysnthesiser was in the PS2. If you think any of the PS3 games are going to look like that! YOU ARE MISTAKEN! THOSE ARE PRE-RENDERED IMAGES! PLUS IT HAS TO USE TEXTURE AND BUMP MAPPING TO HAVE MULTI PLATFORM GAMES!
3. The PS3's RSX(graphics proccessor) is a 7800GTX on 90nm. In case you havent noticed, nVidia is phasing out the 7800GTX. The xbox 360's r500 is a unified shader architecture wich allows more complex models and shaders to be used then a standard architecture like the RSX. And further more the r500 will be ATIs next desktop chip (r600).
4. IBM doesnt even know how to program the cell efficently yet.
5.The PS3 is already behind in graphics technology
The 7800GTX is already brought down to its knees at 1600x1200 on a single video feed. Do you honestly think it can drive two 1080p moniters! Even the devoplers for games for the PS3 said to achive respectable performence they would have to use 720p to.
The Blu-Ray dvd rom cant hold 80GB! It can only hold 50GB. plus right now Blue Ray drives are 3 TIMES SLOWER IN READ SPEED THEN DVDs! You would need a 3x Blu ray drive to equal the 12x drive in the xbox! That means multi platform games are gonna take 3x longer to load in the PS3!!! Once again Sony brings back wicked long load times!

LOL it's rumoured there's a way to change the colour of the blue screen of death, I'd personally choose red for danger or even better brown for oh we're in the shit now. :D
EDIT:
Here's how to change the screen of death colour.

fixed.
noob:
If I was to buy another console, it would be either the PS3 or Revolution. I have the old XBOX, I like it. Looking at where DRM is going, I will be sticking with all my current stuff. Maybe my OS console will take off, who knows.

Not to mention they patented a technique for tying game disks to the console they are first played on. Buy a disk, you can't let a friend use it when you are done. You can't sell it. You can't buy used games. Wonder what they are going to do with this patent?

Some of these aren't logical. I think they are doing a thing where once you put it in one console you can't put it in another. but how can they do this. it is a cd it can't be written to unless each cd is built into a case with a mini mem card. if this is so just remove the batt. from the mem and reset it so that it will work for other systems. or remove it all together.

My brother got a 360. We don't have many games, I play fifa on multiplayer most (and EA topped themselves, they stress the fuck outta 360 (shitty framrates during videos)!). I'd prefer pro evo on our original chipped xbox anyday. If it didn't break, man, it would be the 360 sitting out in the corner.
Nintendo revolution all the way. I like the way nintendo go about this stuff (I don't want a 3ghz computer for playing games), I'd love to see the revo be a huge success. If pro evo never existed, I woulda had way more fun on the dreamcast and gamecube than any playstation or xbox. It's all about the games and how the hardware copes with them (if it just about copes it's usually better than coping ten times over, because the hardware wouldn't have cost as much).
Hell, I'd get a dreamcast (but I don't play games much...).
