PS3 Not until 2007?!

If PS2 didnt fail so badly in Multiplayer i might give a shit... 360 all the way. I mean, if I was into single player games like FF and stuff... man would I love the PS2, but i dont

Then the PS3 should suit you. Out of the box it can have up to 7 bluetooth controllers connected at once. And they say they're gonna make a real effort with playing online etc...but we'll just have to see about that.

And 3 ethernet ports (each 1 gigabit)...connect lots of PS3's together...say 4, times the 7 controllers...you could have the whole street racing you on things like Gran Turismo, each person in a seperate car.

Wow really, 1 person in each car?!?!?! Im sooo sold now....

The new version of GT for the PS3 will have more than the 4 cars...the demos show something like 20. If they've programmed it in, then you can have a street of 20 racing nuts each in a separate car racing each other...without having to go online either. You'd just need three consoles and the 20 pads (each nut will probably have his or her own).

Whereas with the Xbox 360, you'd need 5 consoles, each with 4 wired or wireless pads...that is if you can connect a 360 to another 360 and so on.

Edit:

Just a little article about the Unreal 4 engine: After their Unreal Engine 3 presentation today at the Leipzig Games Show in Germany, Epic's Vice President Mark Rein revealed that the company has been on track to produce the successor to Unreal Engine3. [Ed: Already?] Mark Rein explained , "People don't realise this but we're already two years into development of Unreal Engine 4. It certainly doesn't have a full team yet, it's just one guy and you can probably guess who that guy is." [Ed: Not really hard to guess, eh Mr.Tim Sweeney?] Mark Rein added that, "Unreal 4 is totally groundbreaking and totally changes the way games will be done in the future," Rein continued, "I don't expect it to be staffed up as a team for a while. But when people come to work at Epic, they know they're going to be shaping the future of the videogame business." So according to Epic, only Tim Sweeney is working on the project and that they are hiring more people to up the pace on the new engine. It's surprising how Unreal Engine 3 hasn't even become mainstream and they are already at work on a new one. Speaks volumes about their confidence to rein supreme in the graphic engine wars!

Does the TV screen get split 7 ways for you too?

1 TV screen?!

Let's say it actually happened...you wouldn't use just one screen, you'd use 2 HD TV screens. Two screens would get split 7 ways.

Maybe more than 2...Sony have announced that you will be able to connect 2, 1080i (I think it's 1080i) HD screens to the PS3 and have it like a Panarama view, but they haven't said whether you can have more than the 2. Still a long time until it finally comes out...plenty of tinkering time. It's a long shot, but one of the clever guys developing the PS3 may think "7 controllers...if they play multiplayer maybe they'd each want their own TV?". Probably not 7 screens when we finally get it...but I'm guessing more than 2.

Still spliting more than 4 ways is retarded in my opinion... 7controllers for one console... sounds like its just a way to get people excited with realism that it just isnt great.

Go ahead and buy 7controllers and your two big TVs so you can crowd 7 people, 2 TVs to play one game
