Fruit computers

Head for one of the Tw@ internet cafes, and point your in-game web browser to www.fruitcomputers.com. You'll be greeted with a sparse, suspiciously familiar web page advertising fruit-shaped computers - an obvious parody of Apple. There's even a banana-shaped iFruit phone. ("No buttons. No reception. No storage capacity. All ego.")

I guess everyone gets a kick out of making fun of Apple products. Funny though.

That's pretty funny. Sounds like a great game. Wish I played console games, because I'd be on it! Think they'll ever have a PC version (of the online game)?

They would like earlier verions of this game but to get the same graphic capability as ps3 or xbox we would need a faster and better CPU and GPU. So guess we wont see the PC version anytime soon.

/I might get a ps3 just to play nfs, this game and all sports games.

You're playing a game where you're using a computer to browse the internet....

What's next? playing a game in which you're on a computer playing a game?

There's some levels of depth here that I can't even begin to comprehend.

These images are quite funny though!

Yea, you can watch TV too.

That was done many moons ago - I believe you could play video games within Duke Nuke'em 3D.

Umm, Computers have far superior graphics and CPU's than any console ever dreamed of. They wait to release the PC version to jack up the sells of the console version.

Actually there is an xbox version coming but...

Crytek has confirmed that a 360 version of Crysis is in development. It should be noted, however, that the game will not be a port of the PC version, but rather an entirely new game built from the ground up. The reasoning for this decision, according to the devs, is that the PC game simply couldn't run on an Xbox 360. Given that the title uses many of the advanced features of DirectX 10 (the 360 uses DirectX 9), this isn't too surprising -- although the explanation contradicts earlier statements from the developers. The game will reportedly share many elements with its PC counterpart, but contain entirely different graphics and gameplay.

I think it would be better for PS3 over Xbox because the PS3 has better graphics and CPU.

I just picked up a PS3 being EA Games does not offer NHL 07 or 08 on wii which I picked up for my wife. So I started looking into Xbox and PS3 so to anyone who is thinking of getting a console for gaming keep a few things in mind. Xbox to start is microsoft LOL 1st X but what I really did not like about the Xbox is you have to pay 60 dollars a year for online gaming which is free with ps3 and you have to buy a 100 dollar adaptor for wifi or hardwire connection to the net which is in the ps3 when you buy it. Price wise the PS3 is higher but keep in mind you are getting a Blue ray player too also being the PS3 uses blue ray the game disks have alot more content
vs xbox's format.
Now dont get me wrong there are a lot of xbox users who are very happy with there units but searching on the net before dropping $400 It seemed that ps3 had a better cpu I have been told better graffix but I honestly did not see it.
But hands Down the grafx's I have seen form the unit so far (owned it 4 days now) blows me away and I dont think my mac book could handle it.

Gaming has really blown me away the last system I owned (other then wifes wii) was Super nintendo when 16 bit was the hot thing LOL
