    I found it interesting when JHH was saying "PS3 will be a monster, very hard to compete with" when asked a XBox 2 question in a CC a few quarters back. The fact that they've been working with Sony for over 2 years on the "Next Generation Computer Entertainment System" explains a lot about the weird rumors going around, and why NV didn't actively go after XBox 2 more than they did.

    an imho interesting quote from GA's forum:
    According other voices I heard that stuff makes perfectly sense.
    Toshiba has been developing its GPU, but it seems NVIDIA won this turn..

    ciao,

    Well, until Nvidia only supplies GPUs, they're not gonna redefine anything regarding the x86 architecture... :wink:

    Good news for everyone!

    On the other hand, guess unlike some who keep defending this issue, now is all but confirm Sony admitting their graphics technology aint up to scratch against the best.

    At least now, i feel much safer getting good Sony PQ finally!
