Right, that's Sony's next gen, no doubt it'll compete with XBOX, now that Sony realized their stupid mistake of NOT going with a dedicated vid card in their console. But, just wait for whatever MS decides to stick in XBOX 2. I'd assume somewhere around the 2ghz cpu area, most likely 128, possibly 256mb of RAM, and an ATI vid card, which will again be better than any available for PC for at least a solid year, just like they did with the first XBOX.

The ONLY upside to consoles over PC's is the commonality in function. Since the console has only one form of hardware (architecture aside), each company's console is the exact same, which SHOULD mean fewer software bugs (ahem... I'm ignoring Enter the Matrix here, there's no excuse for that bug fest) and means a lot more power can be dedicated to the game itself, instead of having a larger underlying OS running behind it.

Actually... Unreal 2003 is sweet, but, EA's Return of the King, Halo 2, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time... all match what I've seen from Unreal so far.. and Rainbow Six 3 looks better on the XBOX than it does on PC... that's even at high res!!
