First isn't always best. Ask the Dreamcast. And the Fight Night,
Unreal 3 and all the internal tech demos were all running live, in
real time on the Cell plus GPU. May have been 6800 Ultra SLI rather
than RSX though. There was a guy over at Quatertothree.com who talked
a little bit about development he's involved with on the PS3. They've
been writing code for the Cell for about a year.

A lot of the Xbox demos were prerenderes too, though. Sony's just
looked better when they fibbed! The Motor Storm and Killzone 2 demos
looked absolutely sick, and the Square demo of the FFVII intro look
fantastic too. Kinda put the FFXI+ demo they gave MS to shame.
