PS3 SE and Xbox 360 codename: Zephyr

Even if they did put this new chip in the ps3 I wouldn't buy the ps3 nor the xbox 360 until they add these specs.

These are the specs that will make a console last 10 years

PS3 SE second edition
internal blu-ray - hd-dvd combo drive/ hdmi 1.3a port/ wi-fi for all models/ 512 MiB or 1GB of Rambus XDR DRAM/ 6 GHZ cell processor 65 nm/ New RSX graphics card based on nVidia's upcoming 8900 GTX instead of the crappy 7800 GTX/ *Hardware upgrade compatibility
Games that are able to harness Shader Model 4.0. Yet can be played on both old and new models.




XBOX 360 codename: ZEPHYR
internal blu-ray - hd-dvd combo drive/ hdmi 1.3a port/ built in wi-fi for all models/ 4 GHZ tri-core 65 nm processor/ New graphics card based on the ATI R600/ Quiet Fan/ Slot-loading drive that doesn't cause scratches on discs *Hardware upgrade compatibility
Games that are able to harness Shader Model 4.0. Yet can be played on both old and new models.


- These specs will make both companys microsoft and sony a lot of dough. Both companys should make the hardware for next line of ps3s and xbox 360's upgrade compatible. Making the hardware upgrade compatible like that of a pc will allow gamers to take out there old 360 or ps3 graphics card and put in a new one when the company creates them.
PS3's RAM is only 256 MB. That's not a lot of RAM especially if you are going to run linix on the ps3. 512 MB minimum and 1 - 2 GB's of RAM would be appreciated.

hah i see what you mean but what is the valur of the ps3 ram running almost 3 time faste rthen any desktop ram remeber it runs a 3.2 hgz! but i do see your point and i think that that would be asome for poeple willing to shell or 2k for one.

edit: whats is the value or 256 ram runing at 3.2 ghz ompared to 512 or 1 gig runing at 800 or even 1200 mhz>

Faster framerates and better graphics. A 6 Ghz PS3 compared to a 3.2 GHZ ps3, isn't a logical question to ask which is better. No doubt you can run the same games on the original ps3, but they would look a whole lot better on the SE. I wouldn't buy it if it costs $2000. $1300 would probably be the highest I would pay for it.

Also my point being why they should upgrade there GPU's and CPU's is because I would like to see games like Crysis and World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade come to to 360 and the PS3.

And lastly, the hardward upgrade compatibility would probably last for 4 years until PS4 and Xbox 720 come about. Now with these two new consoles your probably be wearing a pair of goggles or glasses that are connected to the main system with feeds out 1440p resolution. Now that would be awesome.

It is interesting to see pictures of a 'new' 360 so soon (with HDMI).

Seems that the 360 will only be out for just over a year before it is obsoleted.

Shame since it cost quite a lot really..!
