US Government Buying PS3's By The Thousands For Computing Power

let's not mention xbox live which is worth having an xbox by itself, how you guys play online without it is beyond me....:smh:

:rolleyes: Only difference between Xbox live and the PS network is Live has a bunch of bullshit 90% of users don't even use..I have both so i know :dunno: and also im typing this from my PS3 web browser...can't do that with my 360 :hmm:
 
[FLASH]http://www.youtube.com/watch/v/TG4GaPcLgOs[/FLASH]

That's a big mofo to be popping shit to!! Niggas like Galvatron will get you hemmed up in stuff and you won't know what the "F" is going on until you get shot! LOL!!
 
Or track your every movement and transaction.

Oh wait, they already do that. :cool:
nsa does everything you think of 1-20yrs before you think about it depending on how intelligent you are

I like how ICE is decrypting passwords with the shit. I'm gonna start doing stupid shit like emailing my kids about PB&J sandwiches using some stupid overboard encryption just for the fuck of it.
 
I cant front Im getting myself a ps3 for Christmas but i still fucks with Xbox mainly becuz im used to the controller..
 
"It Only Does Everything" :rolleyes: but it still can't find a way to beat the Wii




almost everything.
 
Why the fuck dont they just buy a super computer??? This doesnt make sense and sounds like a waste of tax payer money?
 
i really dont understand why the debate over the ps3 being third keeps coming up. i wouldnt care long as they selling which they are. we know its not going to catch the wii. btw love mine who cares bout the rest
 
sure does....as a matter of fact...don't we have a ffew that you all have plus..top grade exclusives too??


the whole games argument was relative back in 06'...that just doesn't fly anymore...


when was the last time 360 had a powerhouse exclusive that wasn't gears..halo...forza?

Gears and Halo out sold every on the PS3. Pick any 2 PS3 games to compare.

Don't forget Left 4 Dead, Fable and Mass Effect.

The 360 always kills PS3 on the cross platform games too. You can't name 2 games that outsold on the PS3 than the xbox 360?

No exclusive title on PS3 has sold like Halo or Gears.

Let me turn your question back on you. When was the last time the ps3 had a title that dominated the titles established by the 360?

Uncharted 2 is barely outselling halo wars. Yet it was out sold by left 3 dead and fable and mass effect. I don't even have to reference Halo 3, Halo ODST, Gears 1 or Gears 2. No competition.

Go watch a pretty (overpriced) movie again.
 
anyone scared that our gov't is so dumb, it has to buy a game done by another gov't to use for scientific shit?

the game console was created by Sony not another government and they don't have to they choose to because its cost effective

go read up on the NSA if you think our government is stupid or inept or weak
 
Good read.:yes:
Glad I have both, but prefer my 360 any day of the week.

My PS3 does blu-ray duty most of the time, and gets games(mostly PS3 exclusives) every now and then. If there's a game I want on both platforms I usually get the Xbox version.

Yeah I'll be there for G.O.W III:)

Same here, I have both and play the 360 a 100x's more. Other than the exclusives the PS3 is not being used for games. I have friends all over the country and we enjoy playing online games a lot. Because of Xbox Live superiority over PSN when it comes to online features, cross game chat, invites etc. We all just stuck with the 360. PSN IMO is where the PS3 lost this console war.

Show me your proof that Live has features 90% of people dont use. Ive been in the PS3 forums and even people in there are begging for Live features. BTW the PS3 browser is horrible and I know cause I have one
 
I'm the only one in my family with a 360. My cousins both have ps3's and now wii's instead of playing mine. Still gonna buy a ps3 but i'd rather wait til all their games go down in price and the system hype dies so they can drop it further. as long as i have my 360 and wii, i'm fine right now. Impressive games but unless your a diehard gamer that plays online a lot, its not worth the boost on the electric bill.
 
i cant lie to yall i was rolling wit my 360 tough until sony dropped that price. IMO that was the only thing fucking them up was the price now that the price dropped ima get me one mainly for the blu ray player but i will be getting god of war 3 to

If ps3 would have had the same price as the 360 when it first came out i dont think xbox would have survived and this coming from a nicca who loves his 360
 
wtf is a string of ps3's gonna do for me at my house?

Set a new level of fail & do this when the all get the YLOD at the same time.

How can I get around the $99 wireless adapter, props in advance.

just buy a cheaper device
google for 360 compatible wireless adapter

you can get joints like Buffalo wireless extenders which have wifi and connect to your network but have ethernet ports you can hook up stuff like your 360 to - they go for $30 or so and you can hook up other networked devices connected to your tv like media players or pc's or other consoles like the wii

get something N compatible for future wireless upgrades

Redundancy, cheaper, faster.

1000 computers each processing a 1000 pieces of a large complex equation is better and safer than 1 large computer processing one large complex equation.


The idea of supercomputers has sort of tailed off in favor of CLUSTER computers.

alot of science teams use ps3 server rooms to run calculation, your not gonna find a desktop with a cell processor for under 300 anywhere
 
I cant front Im getting myself a ps3 for Christmas but i still fucks with Xbox mainly becuz im used to the controller..

I can't even front on the 360 controller. Even though I prefer the light PS3 controller, the fact that the analog stick on the 360 goes in makes it a lot more comfortable when playing games using the analog for an extended period of time.

On a side note about this bulk use of PS3 by the US Government... I still can't fathom that shit. Just sounds monumentally retarded to me, or like a extra late (or early depending on how you look at it) April Fool's joke. :eek::confused::smh:

compare millions of dollars for a super computer versus 400k for equivalent processing power in a linux cluster of ps3s
its a no brainer - especially when u have qualified staff and its r&d not a business or live govt/military project

cats should be happy the govt is spending their tax money wisely

Damn, put perfectly!...couldn't have said it any better myself, The ps3 hate is ridiculous!:dance:
