this is a big part of why i love sony as a company. you know they were offering PS3 clusters for commercial use right after launch? hardware co > software co. microsoft should give up and go back to what its marginally good at. maybe that would give SEGA the nuts to jump back in the ring

Yes, you can do it with an Xbox...

Or perhaps a PS2...

Tigger is just a fanboy. Why ruin that for him?

Meh, both have their pros and cons. The original Xbox was far superior to the PS2... and I was a PS2 guy. Xbox 360's have the RROD - which granted is probably the most significant hardware fault in video game history, but Sony's track record isn't perfect. PS2's are a good example... they used the cheapest lasers they could get their hands on and they failed left and right. Trust me, I've repaired 100+ PS2's and 99% of them were laser failures. Out of the dozen or so Xbox's I've repaired, no one problem has been consistent though I've done a few with botched softmods...

That said, I own an Xbox 360. As far as the console wars are concerned, even beyond RROD issues the PS3 is the superior machine. I expect the tables will turn for the next gen systems depending on each companies marketing strategy. Either be the first one out with a new shiney system... or continue developing technology after your competitors launch and fire back with a superior system. Both companies have tried it both ways... let's see where their stomach is the next time around.

Didn't they do this with the PS2 at some point?

You know I'm mostly just fucking around! I thought that the article was interesting and quite frankly, I'm a little amazed that you can do that and get a computer with that capacity, for that cost, that is that energy efficient.

Me too! I traded in a PS2, about 40 PS2 games, wireless controllers, steering wheels, etc to get my XBox 360 only to have it RROD in about 2 months!!!
