"But at this point, nobody besides Sony has any idea what the Cell will

allow the PS3 to do. Game developers say they haven't seen a prototype
that comes close to the blazing processing speeds and life-like
graphics of the commercial-ready console Sony is promising. Though Sony

declines to comment on such complaints, in November it failed to
deliver on a promise to send game creators an upgraded prototype
containing a graphics chip made by Santa Clara (Calif.)-based nVidia


Without the souped-up graphics chip, "the machine we have is 10 times
slower than the PS3 should be," says an exec at a game software maker
who spoke on condition of anonymity. "The graphics chip was supposed to

be ready by November. But we're still waiting."

About

Called "the world's greatest tech humour site" by The Register, BBspot
creates entertainment for the geekier side of the world. BBspot produces a
variety of features like fake news stories satirizing the tech and political
worlds, the BBspot Mailbag which pokes fun at the Believers (people who
believe our fake news) and much more. BBspot was started by Brian Briggs in
April of 2000 as a hobby to bring some fun to the web, but grew to the point
where Brian "quit his day job" and made the site his full-time occupation in
January of 2003.

Material from BBspot has been featured several times on Tech TV's The
Screen Savers show, on The Discovery Channel, radio shows, major newspapers
and books. BBspot has had five front page postings on Slashdot, and is very
proud to be linked from the home page for Nethack. How's that for geek cred.
Eat that Kevin Rose!
