Coalition Sounds Off on Net Neutrality Legislation 194

DarqFallen writes to tell us that lately everyone has been talking about a tiered internet, though it seems there are other problems on the horizon as well. PCMag has the latest sound-off from the new SavetheInternet.com coalition. From the article: "Vint Cerf, so-called 'father' of the Internet, is among the big names and organizations that have come together to create the SavetheInternet.com Coalition, which hosted a national conference call [yesterday]. [...] [yesterday's] conference call is one of the coalition's many campaign tactics to emphasize the importance of 'Net neutrality,' the concept of a free and open Internet." The main topic of conversation was the latest bill from congress, the "Communications Opportunity, Promotion and Enhancements Act of 2006."

"will these graphics even be on par in 3 years?"

On par with what? PS2 games have no issues with keeping up with XBOX games, even though the XBOX is suppose to be a more powerful console.

It also greatly depends on the developers, and how well they manage to use the hardware that is provided, and also how good the gameplay of their games is, since hey, the Nintendo Revolution won't be "on par" with either the XBOX360 or PS3 in terms of horsepower. All three will probably be nowhere near par versus PC games, in terms of graphics.

But I guess that's one of the advantages of having a stable platform to develop on. You can't rely solely on better graphics and a better physics engine to sell your game... you also have to work on the gameplay a bit.

From the early reports around the net from the developers working on both of these consoles, they aren't saying one is a lot more powerful than the other... and who knows... 3 years from now... Microsoft might just release another one.
