I believe this story is basically saying the Playstation 3s Graphics Card (RSX) and the Cell Processor are having huge bandwidth issues, The RSX is sending a ton of information while the Cell is very limited and is causing a huge bottleneck, i sure hope this is something the PS3 can fix because my belief is competition drives better products and if this is true the PS3 is gonna fail big time...
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
That the cell chip won't be using the vram as it's main memory it's conected directly to the XDR memory and to the RSX it would be stupid to use the vram for main memory as it would have to go via the RSX to get to the cell so yeah it's slow but you would only use it for the RSX anyway.
the pic could easly have been doctor'd in photoshop but if true the measured speed's are poor.
another problem the RSX has is that it only has a 128bit interface compared to the 360's and 7800/7900 256bit interface
all of it is just speculation from the media....nothing more.
PS3 devkits are still betakits,PS3 is 6 months from final hardware.
