Offtopic, but how does this stack up against the 'most revolutionary event in gaming since the invention of the console itself'?

* 2 HDMI outputs, 1 A/V output, 1 SPDIF optical output, and a 1 gigabit ethernet port

I'm guessing those are specs for the PS3, Anony-mouse?

Stacks up pretty well, but my comment that the XBox 360 would be the most revolutionary event in gaming blah blah was directed more at it's ability to impact the market, the way we play games, and the role games/gaming systems have in our houses. The revolutionary aspects of XBox 360, in this regard, isn't so much its incredible hardware as its role as a centralized media PC.

If PS3 and Nintendo Revolution are going in the same direction as XBox 360, then the "revolutionary" statement can be applied to all of the new consoles. I only directed it towards XBox because we were talking "Pre-E3" and nothing was out about the PS3. I probably should have made the statement more general or included some sort of caveat about the competitive possibilities of PS3, just to be fair.
