I heard that's just some theoretical value Sony feeds people, and that in actual reality, the PS3 can't perform even close to that amount. U can't rely on theoretical maximums.

The PS3 uses a custom Nvidia gpu based on the G70 architecture. (The same architecture as the GeForce 7 series, like the GeForce 7600 and 7900).

Even the recently released GeForce 8800gtx can only perform at about 550 gigaflops, and i doubt the older PS3 gpu using an inferior architecture is 4 times faster than the current fastest graphics chip on the market.

The PS3 gpu has only 256mb of VRAM, and is clocked at 550mhz. They claim it's faster than two 6800 Ultra, back then it may be a lot, but right now, that's not hard at all. It doesn't seem any "super special" to me.

well if these games are really "must get" for u, then u have little choice but to get a PS3.

ps3 can't play ps2 and psx games? is it true ?

huh? no it's backwards compatible just fine. it upscales my ps1 and ps2 games to my tv really well, too. surprisingly well :]

Have too much money, that it's burning holes in your pocket => get PS3
Otherwise => don't get PS3.

You have your answer.  (since you have 3 current-gen consoles, as well as a new laptop, chances are that you have money exploding your wallet)

yeah, this is the real issue.
also, i would suggest, instead of having all three systems, which is obviously and blatantly over-indulgent, you should figure out a small trip you would like to make (a comic/anime convention will change your life (no not really, but theyre fun)) or you should find a hobby you would like to invest in. for example... this super sweet goped that sounds like you're riding a chainsaw around.

not only do you have fun outside, you learn how to maintain a very simple engine. win/win!

lol I think I'm just gonna wait on the PS3 and buy a laptop first.

By the way, everyone saying that having all 3 is over-indulgent, if I got the PS3, then it would be the only one that is mine and mine alone. The Xbox is constantly hogged by my little brother and his friends, and I'm sure everyone will swarm the Wii once wee get it. It would be the only one I would be allowed to take with me when I move out.
