With the next generation consoles already boasting several times the power of the latest PCs it is going to be interesting if PCs can catch up again as they did with the current generation.

M please give me an example of where console power has been ahead of PC power. I'm mistifyed by your statement. As it is why don't you go play with the console boys instead of trying to fit in with the men?

LOL it's gonna be another 16 page thread !

I would also like to see where you get this several times the power of the latest PC's from

hehe "next generation consoles" competiting with current PC's...apples vs oranges wouldnt you say

what about next gen consoles vs next gen PC's

or PS2 vs XBOX, PSP vs GBA, Ipod vs Zen, cd's vs vinyl, coke vs pepsi, v vs red bull, logitech vs thrustmaster, crt vs lcd, intel vs amd, nVidia vs ATI, instant vs decafe, V8 vs turbo 4's, GT4 vs GTR.....all pretty much the same argument

I didn't say anything about competing.

I'm sure a bunch of PC users can find out the details for themselves. Google is your friend.

google is not my friend google is a wank that directs me to
the sites google wants me to go to. http://www.anzwers.com.au is my friend
(lol just a shameless plug. it uses google too)

but a statement without proof is ... a rumour. heresay or maybe even a lie.

Right on, please start a separate thread for the latest addition of your prattling on about stuff the majority couldn't give two bits for eh IMHO. Better still please put this stuff in the Off Topic area or if you have concrete news then Latest Gaming News would be good too.

Thank you and now back on topic..

Well Done Prom, do BH Motorsports have a Sim Coverage Publication Award, if they have something similar I will track it down, if not I'll suggest it and put you forward, if nothing else, around here mate your a Legend in the same mold as Riven for his Server service for example.
