E3, the biggest tech expo in the US was held recently and the gaming console war have started. It's between the dark evil empire of Micro$oft and Sony. At one side we have XBox 360 and the other, Playstation 3..not counting Nintendo Revolution..
Today, i have been browsing thru the net reading through threads of gamers commenting/flaming on each other about the machines...I'm basically drooling over the specs both of the box boasts..Both have PowerPC architecture..the same processor running on Apple Macintoshes..the same chip running iSeries and pSeries server in the world..and supporting grid computing..how cool is that..and yes..i didn't do much work today due to this extensive review..

Too many thing to talk about the console battles..but i'm eyeing on the Cell based PS3..hmm better save some dough to get one of those...Wifi, bluetooth, HDTV, Blu-ray format and awesome array of games...woohooo..hope it can run MacOSX also..theoritically it can, since they both come from the same parent processor..
Hunney..here is my wish list for my next birthday present, not in any particular order :

1- PS3
2- A decent 7.1 Surround Sound
3- Kick Ass Amplifier
4- 49" High Definition TV...not Toba or GC
5- OSIM seat..for relaxation after hours of gaming

Thanx in advance!!

p/s: I'll act surprised if you buy me those stuff...no worries..
