cool - basically a followup on the other article posted in the main-forums. If the chip is to be entering production in 2004 and assuming that PS3 might ship a year or two later - we might even have a console with multiple cells just to give you a lot of power. Wow, this is exciting!!!

it\'s actually $1.2 billion to be correct. Sony, Toshiba and IBM are investing $400 million each.

*Clickl*

To the Main Forum you go...
July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

much less than that.. once it goes into mass production, it\'ll probably cost less than a few hundred bucks. :)

How did you get out of your cage?

You should not be complaining about waiting for anything.  2006 is a reasonable release date.

I say 2005

Sony knows the value of staying a year ahead of the competition. If they wait till 2006 it would allow the competition some time to catch up possibly


If they are making the chip in 2004 then 2005 is a definite possibility

I can be enjoying this generation for al long time but I would easily ditch it for an upgrade to considerably more powerful hardware in a heart beat
