US Air Force wants 300 Sony PS3′s (NOT Xbox 360′s) for technology assessment

take that microsoft!!!!!!!!!!!

Did they get 300 copies of “Top Gun” on Blu ray in the deal?

ok…cut the crap with the war on 360 vs. ps3.
i own them both and i want a gaming machine thats why i bought them for GAMES!! i dont care who has what in them as long as the games are top notch who cares!! right now the 360 has better games so what, the 360 could have come with a built in microwave its not gonna make my gaming experience better!!! move on, let’s go.

Well, _soon_ the games for PS3 _will_ be better. The Xbox 360 isn’t really built to last a long time. It’s sort of… middle-generation. The PS3 is much more powerful, and has much more potential, and will last for a long time. It’s the _real_ next-generation console. Parallel programming is the way of the future.

well you fanboys are really stretching it, does this make the ps3 anybetter in any shape or form? no. its an assessment, as it stands the xbox has better and more games, a better online service, and a lower price. It was designed to play games and it does thi very well, if they ever release some gmes for my ps3 that I like and if there was a somewhat respectable online for sony i would say the same for ps3, but thats not the case, its a glorified movie player in my eyes and the shiny black brick is nothing but a dust magnet in my home

Point well taken michael… but some people bought the systems for more than just games.

Does it make the PS3 any better? No, of course not. Statements about reality won’t change reality. And the reality is that, while the PS3 is a more powerful system with more potential, developers aren’t (or weren’t) focusing on it as their main system, for whatever reason. I believe that as long as that is the case, we will never fully get to enjoy what the next generation of gaming consoles has to offer. However, as more people start to realize that the PS3 is a better overall system (albeit slightly more complicated… but those two tend to come hand in hand), we’ll start to see better games come out for the PS3. And when I say better, I mean better than the games that are currently on PS3, but also better than any games that could ever even be released on the Xbox 360. Articles like this reinforce PS3 stance as the more powerful gaming console, and thus contribute to giving people the extra push they need to start developing for the PS3.

yeah yeah yeah you all will find ways to get at the fucken ps3 with the same bullshit arguments. its like whenever theres a good argument about the ps3 yall got to bring out the “yeah but theres no games for it” “xbox 360 rules”. man yall need to shut the fuck up with your arguments. to avoid this bullshit yall need to at least writte something like “awesome” or “well good for the airforce” or “cool” but yall need to stop the “it aint got no games” go suck your own dick or something stupid fucks.

I feel that the PS3 is going to take huge leaps in the very near future. The games for the platform are really going to shine.

He stated “Third parties have started to move from the de facto 360 SDK. Of course people designed their next-gen games on it because that was the only one there. The PS3 shipped and so they said, ‘let’s port our 360 games to the PS3.’ But now companies are recognizing that ‘hey, if I start on the PS3 and then port down to the 360, my 360 game is going to look better than if I had just designed it for the 360.’ So the pendulum is swinging. The heads of development thinking ‘what’s going to show off my next-gen game that much better?’ It is to lead with the PS3 and then to port to the 360.”

They just want to fly Warhawks

This is the DEFINITON of fanboy… and not just a console fanoby, but a COMPANY fanboy. The fact that you posted a story that lauds the non-gaming applications of a game console just shows you to be a dyed in the wool Sony fanboy. I’m not going to fall for Sony tooting their own horn about something unreleated to gaming. It’s dumb and it’s fishing for gullible people like you.

People like you want to believe in the “magic” of a piece of technology, and stories like this build the tech up to be more than it really is.

This just in, The US Air Force just ordered 300 copies of Army Of Two for ps3, 300 white italian leather couches, and tons of extra spicy chicken wings to assess their operatives’ co operational aptitude as it relates to the Ps3 cell processors.
Xbox 360 fanboys were seen protesting outside the pentagon for they they refered to as favoritism that may put the nation in harm’s way.

I love looking reading these forums for all of the fanboy talk. This tidbit of an article was pretty interesting to me. It’s not breaking news but why must people who own another game console get all up in arms? The writer was not trying to blast the 360, or overly laude the ps3 imo. Who gives a shit if you own a 360 and not a ps3, why waste your time arguing for your console in an article basically says, “the 360 has good games but the ps3 is more reliable and powerful.”

the 360 has experienced a 25-30% failure rate.
the ps3 has <1%
:thus the ps3 “is more reliable.”

Similar RAM and a better processor in the ps3 gives the ps3 the edge there too.

the 360 has a deeper library and online experience
the ps3 not so much

I own neither but when I do buy, i’ll continue to make fun of people that take gaming news so personally.

i agree with AIRPETE, are both consoles so crap that you have to spend your free time filling in these forums for hours and hours to kill time?

Well, I think the key thing to point out here, is that they purchased 300. It’s not like they bought just 1, and was like, “Oh this is super!” whatever it is there doing it takes “300″. Super Computer? AI? Rule the world j/k

Anyways, it’s interesting. But I could care less about this whole Xbox360 vs PS3..

yeah yeah yeah but i got a bigger penis than the rest of you!

I really don’t care much about the whole console war either. My interest are purely for practical reasons. I plan on getting a PS3, and it is in my best interest that game companies produce good for it. That’s all there is to it. I really don’t have anything against the Xbox 360, other than the fact that I’m not planning on getting one because it doesn’t have any games that I want.

There are lots of fanboys out there, but I’d also be willing to bet many people share pretty much the same stance as me.

This just in – The Pentagon actually ordered 300 X360′s first but upon hook up 299 of them got RROD right out of the box.

Thanks Bill

It looks like we may lose the war now

Thank god for a reliable PS3

The airforce can now get back to the horrible library of PS3 games now so they can train our troops.

What a waste of taxpayer money
I want my money back Bill.

PLAYSTATION 3 is the only real high definition gaming system capable of unlimited processing power needed to run real high tech technology. Ublike Xbox 360 is built by biggest idiots here in the USA it has a massive failure rate no HD movie drive and just FPS games nothing else but crap. PS3 will always be #1.

Yeah…the PS3 will always be #1…except in 2006…or 2007…or 2008…or…etc…

haha

You ARE the definition of RETARD
