NVidia to power Sony's Playstation 3

You'll be waiting, oh 5 or 6 years maybe?

I believe that they have the technology to do things like that right now, but release it slowly as a marketing ploy to maximize profits.

Well, it's actually more of a "keeping manufacturing costs" down kinda thing. If a console-maker just made their system out of off-the-shelf PC parts, it would cost a fortune to manufacture the things.

Oh wait...that's exactly what Microsoft did. And they've been steadily losing an excess of $500 (or so I'm told) on each console they sell because of it.

I meant more of the Processor speed constraints in a more general sense, not just limited to console gaming.

I should pay more attention.

D3V should pay more taxes. You know, for spelling the "E" in his name with a "3".

Agreed. We should put all the '1337' kiddies into a higher tax bracket or two.

I GOT IT! We could limit their Internet bandwidth by how much they pay in taxes!

That would be awesome. D3V could afford looking at a pop-up or two.

Those would be leftovers of spyware he got before this was instituted, of course.

Absolute genius!

When does the PS3 come out?
