Wasn't the 360 released around the time Apple announced they were dropping IBM Power PC architecture and moving to Intel?
Wouldn't that have helped IBM with producing CPU's for the 360?
I know bugger all on the similarities between the G5 processor and the 360's but as IBM were losing Apple, could that have given Microsoft more bargaining power when pricing the 360 CPU?PlayStation 3: 200GB HDD (NON-BC PAL)

There's a lot of random here. I'm merely filling my quota for today.

They didnt pass on Cell(or anything from IBM) so much as they were embracing boot camp. Finally let apple users use an OS that isnt completely useless. Originally Posted by twonunpackmule

Apple users aren't stuck with shitty Macintosh. You can load Windows onto an Apple machine. Originally Posted by Elee s

I'm pretty sure that's a matter of opinion. I think OSX is better than any Windows OS. Originally Posted by Elee s

I'm not a fan of Apple, personally. Namely because what I got on this laptop for $500 would have cost me an extra few limbs to get an equal machine from Apple.

The windows junk I keep running via Compiz Cube and Virtualbox so that in a tenth of a second I can flip from Ubuntu to xp.
These days I only fireup the windows junk for excel or when I want to show a windows os running on Ubuntu with none of the dual boot crap.
But Apple rocks, Apple is good but over priced.To stir mens blood dreams must be vast or else they have no power. -

Exceptionally overpriced... I bought this machine new in 2008 in August for $500 on sale (original price, $700). The cheapest macbook started at like what, $1200? I'm not 100% on pricing, but just what I had to choose from at Best Buy. And I made such an amazingly correct choice, too. Originally Posted by Reverend Blu

Depends... were they ever offered it? If so, proof is needed. Your word is insufficient. Originally Posted by twonunpackmule
