Sony's PlayStation 3, due to be released in two years, will feature the cell microprocessor chip, predicted to be able to process a trillion math operations per second - the equivalent of 100 Intel Pentium 4 chips

thats pretty amazing, i remember when i first played Gran Turismo on PS2 i thought the graphics were sooo great, tho i thought the gt's for regular PS were good too, but i can hardly imagine this that is 1000x'a more powerful

Coming from the Colecovision generation, I am just amazed at the games and systems out there now.

I mean, how much more real can it get? Pretty soon, the game will be called "You die", and you'll actually get shot or something playing the game. Just amazing stuff.

Sony is about 5 blocks from my work.
Lots of cool stuff going on there.
I have done testing for them in the past.

$50

and you get to play a proto type game for an hour.

Please let me quit me day job!!!

Every 3-4 years (or less) lots of electronic/entertainment gear gets hit with a "tidal wave" of new technology...the trick seems to be getting gear before it's suddenly "old school".
