Rep Power: 0 | yep. The PS3 is the winner, no doubt. I cant wait to get one. BUt whats the point of beinga ble to connect your PSP to the XB 360? Shouldnt we only be able to do that with the PSP and the PS3? | |

Rep Power: 0 | Most in depth analysis of the 2 system puts the Xbox 360 way ahead of the PS3 for raw power. You have to consider all of a machines specs and not just speed, ram, or any single spec.
http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/617/617951p1.html
I consider this article fairly objective and in depth.
And of course there is always the anandtech articles which are full of tech mumbo-jumbo.
