I was going so say...

Wait, those specs and screenshots are 360 or PS3 (although they are all CG and mean nothing)

Now it's not only dual shock, but dual function..shocking!

So on a serious note,

The cell chip on the PS3 = something like 4 cpu's within the chip. Sounds nuts. I'll have to wait until my friend gets one

The 2 teraflop number is the theoretical limit. There's no way it will be pushing that much when it actually runs. I'll eat my keyboard if it does.

Well, whatever the outcome, I'm sure the PS3 will be a great system....knowing me, I'll end up owning both the XBox 360 and PS3....no wonder my S2000 modding plans keep getting delayed....<sigh>....
