Probably set you back 450-500 bucks I'm guessing. Can't wait to win a few bases to pay for it.....

Watch the 'Duck' tech demo. You have never seen anything like it. Wild. Incredible, I have a tough time almost trying to fathom it. Funny and entertaing clip, I can not get how he has 500 ducks in the tub all in real time with real physics as a few of the ducks slowly fall out of the tub with no apparent slow down. It is damn near scary. And I mean frieghting, to see something this powerful at play.

I encourage everyone to watch the duck demo. You will see what a 4ghz processor that doesnt have to run windows first, can do.

Guess i should use the PS2 a little. What a waste of a nickel, including a few games and xtra accessories.

You cannot beat Zelda?? I beat it on 5 lives a couple months ago.

I once bet a guy that he could not play "ms. pacman" for 12 straight hours while playing w/ his foot and not dying once. After about 5 hours I bought out as I knew he was a lock. It is all about the patterns apparently.

Guys, although I've always been a strong Playstation 2 supporter, I would suggest going with the nex XBox 360 due out by the end of the year rather than the PS3.........

agree. The Xbox will not get out hardwared, and they have proven to come up with the games.

I am not a gamer, but know alot about hardware.

My question is this, Is playstation comparable to a great computer with a great video card?

It is when you consider that all the resourses of the machine are spent on the game, and game only. If you have a computer and a game console with equal components, the console will outshine the computer.

damn, then why do these enthusiasts spend so much cash on gaming computers

This is only true when a console first comes out. After about a year the computers catch up with the consoles. When a console first comes out, the hardware is on par with the latest computers. As time goes on the computers pass the consoles up. Thats why Sony and Microsoft come out with new systems every 3 or 4 years.
