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.
