Jesus, are fanboys this stupid or are you the exception? Much of the Xbox360 is off the shelf...what crack pipe have you been smoking? The 360 is currently slated to use a custom power pc processor with 3 cores each capable of 2 hardware threads. What shelf can you get that from? The GPU in the 360 is built from the ground up by ATI...nothing "off the shelf" about it. The embedded smart RAM on the GPU contains a 192 floating point processor...absolutely revolutionary, nothing like this has never been done before with a GPU. Before E3 everyone (myself included) thought the PS3's hardware would handily whip the 360...now that we know what's inside each they both look comprable...slight edge to the 360 in some areas...slight edge to the PS3 in others
