Sony plans to announce their next generation playstation, aka PS3, on May 16th. Microsoft already announced earlier this week that they plan to announce their next Xbox, aka Xbox 360 or Xbox 2, also on May 16th.So why the heck is there a E3 show in the first place, if they biggest announcements for this years E3 are already happening before?
Sony will present the PS3 on a sound stage in Sony Pictures' complex in Culver City, just outside Los Angeles, at 15.00 PST on Monday, May 16th.
Microsoft will show their Xbox 360 three hours later (smart move by Sony) in downtown Los Angeles.At least both announcements are in the area of LA where the E3 is.

plz,dont talk non-sense,two cell's will never beat 500 computers for sure.cell's perfomance is hyped and over hyped. allright i agree it might be able to beat pc's in some departments and give more then thrice the perormance in some departments . cells performance come from its 8 spe's,remember it does not have a branch predictor! and programming for cell would be new and difficult as its a new hardware based on new concepts. its rumoured that sony will use only 4spe's in ps3 ,coz the size of the die is too large in 90nm process,and PPu's are coming for pc's and dual cores are already out, so by the time cell (or ps3) is out ,pc can compete with it i reckon .

i never said it would beat 500 computers, i said it would be placed at 500th if they done a list of the 500 most powerfull pc's in the world. PLUS it wasnt me who said it in the first place!

oh sorry,i misunderstood ur statement.
i really doubt if it can come in top 500 even,as i know the 500th position produces a peak of 1.4teraflops according to nov 2004 top 500 list,cell at peak(or in theory?) can produce a max of ~250gflops,i dont the value in real life for sure(which is likely to be much lower).
anyways,cell is a good one for a console considering its power.

PS3 Three Times Faster Than Xbox 360?
As we approach E3, the specs for both the Xbox 360 and PS3 are becoming more known among the developers, spurring some major chest thumping and “My CPU is bigger than your CPU” talk.
The consensus among these learned types is that the two systems have comparable GPUs despite using different companies (ATI and NVidia), but that the CPUs are a completely different story.
Word from the geek is that the PS3’s CPU is about three times faster than the Xbox 360’s CPU. While this seems like a clear cut victory for Sony, it does little to end the constant debate about which system will be able to provide better games. The problem with Sony’s super-fast CPU is that not all of its power may actually be usable in games. Bottom line: There could be a lot of extraneous horsepower under the PS3’s hood that’s mainly for show, not actual gaming.
