superseth 		E3: Day 1:

Ok so we are into the first day of E3 and the three big companies have all give thier Press Conferences.

Microsoft:

Here is the stream, dont know how long it will stay up.


  1. The XBOX 360 is coming out in fall

  2. It will have wireless controllers

  3. Required online support for all titles

  4. There are 3 PPC G5 processors running at 3.2 ghz

  5. Perfect Dark:Zero, DOA 4, Project Gotham 3 and such will be launch titles

  6. Crazy amounts of online content will be downloadable

Sony:


  1. The PS3 will run all Playstation games ever

  2. It will have wireless controllers

  3. It will have 7 controllers because 7 is cooler than 6

  4. There is 1 CELL processor at 3.2ghz but it has 10 crazy-ass threads

Sony also laid out the technical specs of the device. The PlayStation 3 will feature the much-vaunted Cell processor, which will run at 3.2 Ghz and feature 2.18 teraflops of performance. It will sport 256mb XDR main RAM at 3.2 Ghz, have 256MB of GDDR VRAM at 700mhz, a detachable 2.5 inch HDD slot, six usb 2.0 ports, Memory Stick Duo, a SD slot, a compact flash memory slot, Compact flash slot, 2 hdmi outputs, 1 av multi out, 1 SPDIF optical output, and 1-gigabit Ethernet built in port


Sony also unveiled the PS3's graphics chip, the RSX "Reality Synthesizer based on Nvidia technology. The GPU will be capable of 128bit pixel precision, 1080p resolution, some of the highest HD resolution around. It also has over 300 million transistors lager than any processor available commercially today. It was manufactured using the 90nm process with 8 layers of metal. The RSX is more powerful than two GeForce 6800 ultras, which would cost rough $1000 if bought today.
