You know what that would mean… try Sega DreamCast in a nutshell.

PSP doesn’t have the power to play them natively, but it does allow you to play some in a ported down manner. So far as the only one I’ve heard mention of - is the game Lair; by reducing the visual quality down to the psp’s size, the game is playable by some accounts. Some said it works others said it lags too much so it’s an interesting case study for a first implementation. I haven’t heard of other games that feature this yet, but if it’s already possible with this game then it’s possible to have this with other games in the future; if the game developers code it in.

And yes you can also play any PS1 classics you have on the console itself.

Neither one of them are superior.

I Agree with that. You can argue about the lack of HDMI for the early xbox360 adopters, you can argue about durability of the console, or about sony releasing a firmware upgrade that might cause more harm then good, but for general speaking there both on a level field.

You ever think of taking like a blow dryer, putting it on high heat, aim it at the vents in the console and hope it burns up and you get the triple-red-light malfunction indicator of death. Then you can get another since you’re still under warranty. :)

Any of the three companies can borrow some things like the way Sony added motion control towards the end - the sixaxis controller. They we’re messing with the controller throughout from the first version - that boomerang type, so it’s no surprise that they felt like changing the controller and taking a page out of Nintendo’s console.

A console isn’t as easy to design as your computer. It’s specifically geared up to perform by having it’s parts chosen from the ground up in the development process. It’s not a matter of ooh they got this fancy chip or something on their machine, let’s copy it. No you can’t since it’s not part of the initial design, it would be impossible to copy any hardware aspects. It would probably mean starting from scratch again since you would be building a new model. Plus the hardware is all proprietary, so only certain companies can get copies of the hardware and use it commercially. You can’t “borrow” technology in sense. They can only make comparable, competitive hardware, and that’s what it is, a competitive comparable model.

Both consoles are top of the line in graphics and processing power. Games look amazing on both, processing power - until you get a benchmark on both you can’t argue all that much with it.

And just for you idiots out there: Microsoft are not gonna make xbox live free if they have so many people paying for it!!!! IDIOTS! Why would they just throw away money like that haha.
