Well that was a nice comparison. I wonder if the earlier release of the XBOX 360 has given developers the extra time needed to get the greater refinement. The screen shots can't lie and the side-by-side comparison makes it easy to see the differences (even if they are almost none). However, most of these games move along at a fairly quick pace making these minor differences in the visuals negligible.

Good job on the comparison Gamespot. I like the new way to view the different quality settings. Too bad Vista isn't measuring up to my expectations. I'll just have stick with XP Pro for a couple more years.

Looking good to me. I love the increased texture quality and how the colors are so much more vivid! Comparing HD with non-HD almost doesn't seem fair.

I've gotta rant about the NEW sixaxis remote for the PS3. Why in the world have Sony continued to use the outdated, cumbersome, and often painful 4 direction Dpad!?!?!?!?!?!? Every competitors gamepad has an 8 direction Dpad. I wish I knew why they continue to ignore this relatively simple and hugely beneficial advance in basic game pad input!!! ***shakes bloody thumb at Sony***

What a sweet deal! This is why I only need a GameSpot membership to get all my gaming news. Now to start downloading DVDs!

With the performance difference between these cards so minute, I'd let price be the determining factor. However, they will both soon be outdated with Direct X 10 coming out.
