Blu-Ray can hold so much more content,which means more value for your 60 bucks.A dev from Rock Star has actually commented that if GTA4 was a PS3 exclusive, they could have put more stuff,a bigger story,and a much bigger Liberty City.Because of the Cell and the RSX,the PS3 can handle 60 player battles online and 8 player co op with Resistance,it can have 256 players shooting it out online with MAG.My last point:Go look up how many more exclusives are coming for the PS3 compared to the 360.

You don't know what you are talking about the cell can run ten times faster then the average PC. It has 8 Synergistic Processing Elements (SPE), so it's like saying it has 8 individual CPUs. Each SPE can perform task individually at the same time, so is multitasking to the max. No game to date has taken advantage of the power of the Cell processor and that is because developers don't yet know how to create games to take advantage of the Cell Processor.

The Cell CPU like the split-RAM arrangement for the PS3 requires a lot of bottom-up development. This is why even good multiplats on the PS3 still don't look at good as exclusives. Why else would a machine that so flawlessly handles Uncharted, Killzone 3 and GOW3 only does an okay job with games like BF3, Arkam City etc. a year later?!

@tazss159 they were about to make it exclusive but because of the shitty 360 selling mor at the time greed destroed it

@rocstar gave us shity looking gta4 and rdr . wake up from ur dream

@animewatcher5 True dat, but Gorrial games made the first killzone for PS2 so they do have pre PS3 experiance.

[animewatcher5]

@amartinez97 It depends. Naughty Dog's been working with Sony and the Playstation console since Playstation first came out, and has been making exclusive games for it. Killzone 3 is made by a much newer company that hasn't worked with Playstation before the PS3. One things for sure: they will take much more usage than any multiplatform company out there so we can expect a lot from Killzone 3. As for Crysis 2, it's a multiplatform game so I'm not sure whether they'll make good usage of the cell.

[amartinez97]

@animewatcher5 Do you think Killzone 3 and Crysis 2 take full advantage of the Cell Processor?

[animewatcher5]

@negative00001 But now that Uncharted 2 has came out for PS3, and Uncharted 3 right around the corner, Naughty Dog said that it was the first time anyone has taken full advantage of the PS3's cell processor, and it shows. BIG TIME.

@UNCHARTED9444 The link under the video is user generated content. He could have written it's a 200-core there. As for the guy in the video, if he says Cell is a 9-core processor, he's an idiot. The SPEs have different instruction sets, no direct access to system memory, no threads, no cache and no data pattern predictors. Therefore, THEY ARE NOT CORES.

[UNCHARTED9444]

@ NewLynxChannel he say 9 core on the Cell Processor at 4:24 on this video is if u go to the links under the video too they say 9 core too, so idk what the Cell Processor had no more lol
