Wait, there’s no non-HDMI video out? Drat. I have a HDTV with DVI input, I always used HDMI-DVI for that, but I need separate analog audio for that to work.

I’m not sure what it would have taken for all these dissapointed people to not be underwhelmed. We knew the specs early on, and more games will presumably be shown at E3, the One in general seems like a good and much needed step forward. I think I prefer the PS4 strategy of more power for games vs an all in one box with cost going to Kinect 2 and RAM going to the multitasking etc, but overall I think both consoles are looking really good.

Yeah, I don’t get why reading porn is ok but watching it is not. All the top books on iBooks are essentially porn for women.

Yet they won’t pull apps which let people rate your appearance and place not so subtle tags about the size of your private bits and link that information with your facebook account without your consent (they can do that since that “friend” gives consent to give information about their friends list), aka Lulu? BWF seems morally superior to that to me, at least in this one it’s anonymous and consensual for both parties.

The largest single component cost of the PS3 was the blu ray drive, those were very expensive then and fairly cheap now. That’s why I very much doubt the people saying the PS4 will cost as much as the PS3, if not more, there’s nothing in it that should make it cost more. The APU chip will be large, but it will also halve the number of chips required for CPU+GPU. GDDR5 is somewhat pricey but nothing that would add as much as the BD drive originally did.

What, holly poop, I heard a part of that song (bring on the night) in a Jackson Triggs Wine commercial years ago, and it got me into Guthries music, and I was always so let down that he never made it a full length song. This is awesome, buying it right away.

You know he doesn’t lead Nintendo itself, right? Just Nintendo America, which is related but somewhat different. He actually buys units from Nintendo themselves, and tries to sell them here. It’s not really his fault if the console at this point isn’t really worth owning.

Overly simplistic thinking. DDR3 would limit things like textures per object, even with an eDRAM. Bandwidth is often the first bottleneck in GPU performance. Look at AMDs APUs, they continue to scale in performance with the highest bandwidth DDR3, and their future ones are going to use GDDR5.

Is this iPhone only so far? I can’t find a version for my iPad, just the blown up iPhone one.
