As an aside, a special thanks to gamespot for showing off the bump mapping on the maidens chests in dragon age. We all were intensely curious how the different graphics hardware detailed the bazoombas.

The AA on the PS3 almost seems to muddy up the graphics in the ports. It's sort of strange, graphically they're so close its almost comparing apples to apples regardless. I prefer the xbox images even though they have more jaggies, because they seem sharper, but its 6 of one and half dozen of the other. And whoever thinks the xbox isn't technically capiable of uncharted 2 or killzone 2, it probably is, would just require some reworking.. its not like the ps3 is some sort of magic miracle machine like sony claims it is, they used to claim the ps2 was so powerful it could simulate human emotions, but the xbox was technically superior, and ports to the xbox typically looked a bit worse. They could both do similar things, big difference being the hard drive, this gen is even closer, cept for the wii being leaps and bounds inferior.

I actually owned some of the old Elisis 3d stereotropic glasses about 8 years ago, the technology worked fine then. It does give a decent impression that you are looking at a 3d image. They did give me a bit of a headache though, it has something to do with the alternating flickering. I'm sure thats going to be an issue for some people. They do work, its relatively inexpensive, Nvidia was doing this same technology back then. The biggest worry I would have is that Nvidia actually abandoned development of the early adopters back then, and stopped supporting the tech, and I would be worried they would do it again. Also, the novelty wears off quicker than you'd think. I stopped using them after a while because I got tired of the hassle.

To the guy that said it would cost 1000 dollars to beat a PS3, its not accurate. There is a company now making a pc that can play crysis on high settings for less than 600 bucks.

In response to grimskunk there below, if I'm not mistaken fallout3 was basically developed for PC and 360 and ps3 at the same time. They probably had some options to use higher res stuff for the ps3 in that case, it dosen't appear they did, I'm not sure why bethesda made that choice, if it was because of the actual chipsets or if it was just because they had an agreement with someone or what, but the 360 version basically looks better than the ps3, and the PC version is leaps and bounds better than both. Its not like the cell and rsx chipset is gonna outperform an ati 4850 right now or anything though, so its not surprising, but honestly power wise the ps3 and 360 aren't that far apart. Sony just lies about what their processors actually do, they did the same thing with the ps2 and ps1.. again, its a habitual thing. I think its really just something the japanese hardware manufacturers do about all their hardware, they sort of manufacture specs that are unbelievable that their hardware cannot possibly live up to. Not saying if its right or wrong or anything, just that it seems to be the way they do it. They claimed the ps2 could simulate human emotions for gods sake. Anyone remember the ps2 game that did that? Didn't they claim the ps3 was going to map the human genome or something idiotic? Ps3 this gen seems to be a more expensive 360 with a blue ray drive, which has a positive and negative to it, little slower loading, nice if you want to be an early adopter of blu ray, but nothing revolutionary about it. It does seem to have a lower hardware failure rate, thats definately a bonus. All you fanboys that keep saying that the hardware is crazily superior are gonna be rather dissapointed once you figure out the limitations of your TV set. A 1080p tv set can only display 60 frames a second at 1920x1080, after that if the PS3 was able to do more, your tv set would be a limit it. I guess sony needs to release a tv with a higher resolution standard for your ps3? Like a 2160p spec with a 120hz refresh, that you could only see the difference on a tv 50 or 60 inches and greater. Honestly I'm really not convinced they can max out a 1080p tv with a ps3, but after next gen of consoles they're going to probably reach that point, and I'm not even sure why they need more advanced consoles after that. Regardless, have fun yelling at each other and being emo about which of the 2 basically equal consoles is better.
