    DLC pricing (renamed)

    Simply don't buy it if it's not worth your money. I don't see any reason why game rated 5/10 should be sold for less monay that game with 9/10 score. Maybe for some reason there are people who prefert the first one? Maybe someone paid reviewer or reviewers feels pressure because the title is...

    New PS3 board shown at CES

    I've read that CELL is designed for easely replacing SPE with any other accelearator like GPU. I'm sure their are ready with it and only waiting for process shrink for both CELL and RSX to 32nm.

    How much would it cost to add wireless to the Xbox 360?

    For MS adding built-in WiFi doesn't make much sense. If it's 3$ it's 3$ less in their pockets ;-) Not to mention they don't need it at the time SONY on the other hand uses WiFi also to PS3<->PSP connectivity so here it's must-have feature IMO.

    PS4 to be based on Cell?

    I'm aware of that, but this matters the most - cost reduction. M$ learnt its lesson. Of course with Xbox they just wanted to make a presence in console world. They are still trying to get to the living rooms via consoles, but they are far far away behind SONY. Of course this is another topic...

    PS4 to be based on Cell?

    And damn HOT. I doubt any console maker with choose Larabee. Console makers don't want to buy chips by IP. Remeber first Xbox and NV GPU. IT was big failure for M$ and they even sued NV for big prices.

    PS4 to be based on Cell?

    I had no doubts from the beginning i.e. where SONY was talking about CELL in PS3. I'm rather wondering how many CELL processors will PS4 contain. SONY used RSX just to ease programmers live, PS4 might be solely CELL base, but there can be a problem with backward compatibility so they might live...

    RSX architecture and cost...

    I have one question as you spend a lot of time comparing GPU of both consoles, talking a lot about vertex shaders in RSX. But isn't it that Sony put RSX on PS3 only to get quite good looking games very fast because a lot of developers are familiar with GPU programming? And they were planing to...

    Price gap between PC and console games in Europe

    We are in EU since 2004 so it's not that when you join UE you accept the common currency. What's more our country is not ready from econimical point of view to introduce Euro. Euro should be used in Poland around 2012.

    Price gap between PC and console games in Europe

    It's not that simple and I really doubt that many people in Poland have powerful rigs. PC game price are more or less adjusted to Polish salaries, but still 100zl in considerably more for someone in Poland then 50Euros for French, German etc. I don't know what is average salary in those...

    Price gap between PC and console games in Europe

    IMHO PS3 is great choice when it comes to next-gen console 'cause there is no regional block. You can simply buy games from e.g. play-asia in very good price.

    Price gap between PC and console games in Europe

    The reason is amount of games sold for PC and Console in Poland. You should also take into account localization of PC games. So if the game is in Polish it will be hard to sell it abroad. So you can adjust PC games to polish market. 7-8 years ago PC games were as expensive as console ones. What...

    What do we know about the RSX

    As Xbox 360 has unified Vertex and Pixel Shader all those specs are inrelevant i.e. if you use 16 pipeline for Vertex you can use only 32 remaining for pixel etc.
