Yeah Ps3 has the power to do that. But this bu a strange way reminds of Fallout 3 where you can make gun like railway rifle for example from things that you can find in every house

the only reason that i probably compare the two consoles is for their exclusives.

I just can't stand the noise of the 360, had one for a few month but had to sell it… The Ps3 ain't bulletproof but it's a hell of a lot better than the 360…

No.. What your smelling is a fresh scent of awesomeness!

This is kinda cool, but pointless for us gamers.. but hey, Sony must have made some nice money off that!

Yeah i read that a few months back. This is not necessarily a good thing for Sony. Yes it demonstrates the power of the PS3 CPU but it also demonstrates how much it is costing them. If my memory serves me well a single unit of components that the PS3 are using would have cost the USAF approx $6000 whereas the PS3 costs only $300, and there are 2,000 of these in a cluster. So instead of costing the USAF $12 million it is only costing them $600,000 !!! Sony are only making money on software and losing money on Hardware so this is a big financial loss for the corporation but also demonstrating the power of the console when put to the right use.

EDIT Found the link:

Quoting the following link:

“An RFP-related document justified the purchase this way: “With respect to cell processors, a single 1U server configured with two 3.2-GHz cell processors can cost up to $8k, while two Sony PS3s cost approximately $600. ”

the standard ps3 may cost a lot but i do you think it may be possible sony stripped the consoles? i.e geting rid of the blu ray drives for a start, im not too sure tohugh, just something i think sony would have done to save some money

No, your smelling fact. The ps3 is much more powerful than the 360. If you don't think that, then why are you here ?

i just saying my opinion / i know that the ps3 is the best console out there its that there is no need to continously shove it into those 360fanboys as we will become as bad as they are

We won't get as bad as them because we actually have brains unlike some of them.
