neogaf.com — In a GameInformer Interview with Starbreeze, the technical director Magnus H?gdahl revealed that the only difference in games between the two platforms will be in the textures amount and resolution. Is the 256+256 MB memory architecture of the PS3 worse than the unified 512 MB memory architecture of the XBOX 360?

@rileyjt :Actually I was more referring to the CPU, GPU, and memory architectures. But that's a good point about the PS3's potential "media center" capabilities.I still have my doubts as to the usefulness of the PS3 linux install. Most likely it'll be similar to the PS2 linux kit -- not useful, but a good tax dodge.

"Decent summary of the RSX."No it's not.It makes absolutely no sense to talk about the RSX alone. It is a custom solution designed to create a hybrid rendering system with the PS3's Cell.

"Precisely. If the Xbox 360 can fit in higher quality textures, and it's top resolution of 720p is but 55% of the Ps3's 1080p, then frankly the Ps3's graphics will look terrible by comparison. Not to mention that the framerates will be much lower than the 360's because even though they are comparable machines, again the Ps3 is rendering 45% more screen space."Boggle.You could randomly rearrange what you wrote and it would make more sense...

Well, technicaly the issue is that the PS3 says that the price pays off for the look of the games. However, when people come in saying that their texture quality, you think "wth" and decide that it would be better to purchase a 360.Also remember that Dev kits are not fully made systems, meaning the coding this developer had worked on may be for the kit, which may not have the best visuals or visuals equivilent to the PS3's final product.

" Games won't be on BluRay"Actually ALL PS3 games will be on bluray.

Sony's failure is once again my pleasure!

@ StwoUm... failure?It has slightly less room for textures. This is not going to cause the PS3 to fail.Sorry haters.
