henry4th - Your wrong. I found 4 separate independant comparisons that show 360 has better graphics in GTA4. Even if you don't believe them, GTA4 when upscaled to 1080P is natively rendered at 640p on PS3 and 720P on 360. Also frame rate is better on 360. Visit the Eurogamer link for all the details + frame rate analysis. http://www.n4g.com/News-140628.aspxhttp://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=137829http://www.videogamer.com/features/article/29-04-2008-389.html this page right here
NA3D - First off, I enjoy the comparisons, especially this one because Sony fanboys for forever have been saying "Let's wait until the developers learn how to code for PS3". Well, we are officially over that hump now and PS3's graphics output haven't changed a bit. On your topic about each studio not putting enough work into the games for the PS3 version to be better then the 360 version, well we haven't seen a game from a studio look better on PS3 then it did on 360, so what makes you think that it's possible? Oblivion looked better on PS3 because they made changes to the game engine and released another version for 360 (GOTY edition) so that wasn't the power of PS3 at all. Game studios need to make money and if they are going to be developing the game for PS3, they are going to put sufficient effort into making it as great as possible. If the PS3 takes so long to write code for that it needs more time then the developers are willing to give, I don't blame the developers there, that's Sony's fault for not backing up their hardware with good software, or making their hardware too complicated to work with. I'd think your opinions would be different if you weren't on your 4th Xbox 360. I'm sorry to hear of that, I'm still on my 1st Xbox 360, as well as 4 of my other friends.
The PS3 is a great Blu-ray player, but it just can't match the power of the Xbox 360 when it comes to video games! Both are great machines, but in my eyes, one is made for games and the other is made for Blu-ray movies so if you like Blu-ray, get a PS3, but if you like games, get the Xbox 360.
Cant wait to see what Rare will be coming out with next for 360. Maybe we can hope for an Xbox 360 version of Goldeneye, or maybe a new Bond game developed by the only ones who could get it right (Rare). The mutliplayer on Xbox Live would be awesome.
Dav_id83 - I build gaming rigs too and when i felt the heat off the back of the 360 i was initially in shock thinking theres no way system components are supposed to be running this hot. But that was because when you build rigs you become accustomed to thinking that that hot of air is definitely not a good thing. I have 6 case fans, a 120, and 5 80's, and the air coming out of the back of my computer is cool as day. But you have to think about the amount of overheating problems and (although widely popular) wasn't substantial. MS only had a .2 or .3 overheating problem with the system, and that because its actually designed so that it can withstand these high temperatures. So by no means is it a reason not to purchase a 360.
