Thanks, Orph. It figured I could try and draw a little something myself instead of stealing pop-culture memes. I'm still not sure where to go with it though ![<img src=]()

I know last week I said hell froze over with the emergence of a new Duke Nukem Forever trailer ... but now it's just official:
I successfully printed on a XP printer (a printer hooked up to a computer running Win XP on my network) from Linux and Vista (!) with no configuration tweaking ...
The apocalypse, surely, is close.

As long as the Cubs don't win the World Series, we will be safe from the apocalypse.

Martin Luther actually laid down the philosophical foundation for the Holocaust. And here I thought he was one of the few holy ones within church history.

Here's a few things I've found out today.
Apparently, many PSP titles aren't doing very well and are getting ported and overhauled for the PS2, two I know of right now are Ratchet and Clank Size Matters and Silent Hill Origins.
There's a chance Sony will no longer be making the 80GB PS3, and will phase everything to the 40GB model (this means PS3 will no longer have backwards compatibility)
Assassin's Creed on PC will have an outrageous memory requirement of 2GB, recommended 3GB! What the hell, man!? Hopefully, they have a good reason for requiring this, because it's absolutely outrageous to require that.

They have already done that here in Aus, dropped the 60gb model, brought in the 40gb with no backwards compatibility, less USB ports and something else changed that I cant think of at the moment.

I don't get it. Doesn't the 360 have 512 MB Ram? Where does the jump come from?

Xbox 360 has ddr3 ram, though, but I'm wondering what's causing the huge cost as well.

Maybe the game was continuously grabbing stuff off the disc and putting it in memory on the consoles? Both of the ones it was on has more than 2 cores, so it's possible. I doubt they'd want to required more than dual core processors (they are requiring dual cores, by the way) so they can't dedicate a core to loading, which means everything needs to be loaded at one time.
Though, it's probably the case that they're enhancing the game at the same time. I know when they port games to PC developers are tending to be a little more meticulous as PC gamers aren't as forgiving.
I don't mind the memory so much as the dual core processor, memory is fairly cheap and easy to find ... unlike a retail 939 X2 processor. (Getting two more 1GB sticks of memory for me would be under $100USD, the processor would be like $180-$280 ... if anyone had them)
To note, the xbox uses a 512 MB pool of GDDR3 memory for graphics and system memory. That's not the same thing as DDR3.

Pffffft, Xbox 360 is doing much better than Play Station 3. Look what sony is doing, there down grading the ps3, hell, GTA V even got delayed because they where having trouble with the ps3 version. And can you honestly tell me any good games that are Play Station 3 only?

PS3 has a little catching up to do, 360 has been out longer, and the cell architecture takes more man-hours to develop games for. There was a lack of good titles for 360 for a while too. There are AAA studios developing exclusive titles on all current-gen systems, same as it's always been since game consoles and AAA games both existed (read: the dawn of time). There have always been fanboys too =/
To name a few:
Resistance: Fall of Man
Metal Gear Solid 4
Gran Turismo 5
Ninja Gaiden Sigma
God of War 3
Ratchet and Clank Future
While 360 has:
Halo
Gears of War
Huxley
Burnout
Oblivion
Perfect Dark Zero
Edit: As for GTA4, time spent working out kinks for PS3 is likely also time spent polishing for 360, so everybody wins
