1.3 - And that is the point...they both look the same....

indeed but you think with a console costing more it would be better if not superior then the cheaper console...and people argue why xbox or ps3 is better when they really have no leg too stand on. your only going too buy a console for the exclusives.....and in my eyes the only exclusive I want is god of war 3.

amp i belived like so many that ps3 would be far superior in graphics..framerate..everythin g...from the release of the ps3 no one can tell me they expected horrible ports from multiplayer games also....yet people defend their consoles with their last breath. I am a fan of the xbox but having suffered 3 RROD with 2 consoles i cant defend it like most people. But i do see your point about the ps3 being one year old...I just cant justify peoples ideas on here thinking EVERYGAME on the ps3 is far superior..and vice versa for xbox as well.

1.4 - snuk, question

more expensive console, yes. PS3 is a more expensive console. I know your a big 360 fan, and i respect your opinion. I agree that a console exclusive is a big selling point also. If these 2 look the same, with less than 1 year out for the PS3, do you think that means anything or not?That seemed to be the crux of the video. Snuk, Thank You.Im an old gamer, its nice to hear somebody that isnt a slave to the fanboys! Have a great time gaming! Peace.

1.6 - secret...

I just needed to let you in on a little advice...GET A LIFE. I am glad the PS3 is receiving a $400 dollar SKU; I can sell my PS2 and afford one. Everyone has preference in terms of what console they like to game on and the basis usually isn't about graphics. Multiconsole games really have only a few features that make you choose one or the other. Most people choose the version that suites their taste for control and online functionality. The Playstation controller is hands down my favorite when it comes to fighting games...however I will always choose the 360 controller when it comes to sports and FPS. I also prefer the online capabilities of LIVE.

It is frustrating and sad to see so many people obsess over crap like price, graphics, console preference, etc. Try playing more games and liking them because they are good and not because your fanboy blind to one console or another.

1.7 - @ Blindfromthesun: Bubbles for you my friend.

it's nice to see someone who can disagree with someone and speak on their reasons why. This site needs more gamers like you. Fanboys aren't gamers because their are blind by their loyalties. I posted a video review of Halo 3 from AOTS: Feedback the Loop, and in that video review, they had their seasoned Sony Fanboy. He went out and bought a 360 and played his friends copy of Halo 3, and admitted on national TV that the game was great, fun to play, innovative and that it rocked his expectations (even though the were very low to begin with.) I hope more gamers start letting these fanboys know that it's not cool to flame.
Secret always comes on these posts and gives these long drawn out fanboy rants about his preferred console and how much it is better than the others, and no one really wants to hear him, so kudos to you for letting him know why you disagreed.

I notice how every time I see a comparison video the PS3 looks like someone turned down the contrast or up on the brightness. My games never look that light when I play them, so I don't know who is doing this but they might as well do it on the 360 because the PS3 has caught up in gfx and is only going to start surpassing now.

It was never that big to begin with, it's always fanboys that made a huge deal of it, or game sites that wanted hits.

Good game, but 2K needs to update their graphics engine. MLB and NHL did it, now it's basketballs turn. I'm sure it relates to the extra time needed for the PS3 version last year, so maybe next year will reflect more changes.

These are really never good to use for comparison. If you are loking at a HD version then yes. I think the reason why people make a big difference about graphic comparison is becuase the Sony has always boasted that they have the most powerful machine, yet this has not been visible by any game currently on the market. Now, even though the 360 devs have had a more time to get used to the hardware.

Even though it seems that comparing the same game mkes since it, sometimes you should judge on what generation the game falls in. For instance Gears of War had the best graphics to date when it was released (many tink it still does) and this was the 360's first true 2nd gen game (some consider it the 3rd, so thats arguable). So another way to judge graphics would be to compare a game for the PS3 that is release between October and November, this would be about as long as it took MS to produce a game with eye piercing graphics. Which the PS3 is capable and has or will produce.

I remember last gen when many people said it was about game play nd not graphics, now all of the sudden its about graphics. Innovtive gameplay and gadgets for your system and games is next gen also, not just grpahics. So does the 360 or PS3 have the best graphics? We cold debate all on this, but remember the most compelling thing about a video game is gameplay with storyline and graphics being in with good mixture. Some games are good at inccorperating all thre aspects, but it would be good if all games on all systems did this all the time. Hell, then you would never have to worry about wasting $50 or $60 bucks.

I agree with you for the most part but how can gears be a 3 gen game when it released 1 year after the 360 launched. And this was the first title that epic released on to the 360.
I think the whole gen thing is a little stupid. What matters is what games there are right now and its starting to look better and better for both systems.

I saud some people consider it a 3rd gen game not me, I yhink it is a 2nd gen game. Even though GOW was Eics forst game on te 360 all the other games and devs improved the dev tools which made it easier to program and exploit the system. So this is what puts games in diffrent gen. You did it yourself with " What matters is what games there are right now and its starting to look better and better for both systems". Eac system is getting deeper into exploiting the system. Some peole think the 360 is maxed, but it is not. Both still have a lot to offer.

6.1 - I wouldn't say sharper

but it definitely has more going on onscreen. just look at the reflections on the court. On the PS3 you can see real time reflections of the red ticker while on the 360 it's just a static red blurb.

PS3 is the better version.

6.2 - And here come the fanboys...!

just stop it, at different times there are reflections on the floor of the basketball court. The games are not perfectly synced. Why are you trying so hard to look for things that aren't there. Both games look great and are showing improvement with dev and hardware relations. So that's a plus, because that shows that the devs are starting to get a better understanding of the hardware. Cheer for that, but stop looking for things that aren't there. They both have clear reflections at different times on the basketball court.

And if you don't believe me, if you look when Arenas scores on the floor on the 360 side you can see the red lettering reflections scrolling. So i guess that should shut you fanboys up.... Lame claims!

The 360 is clearly better as you can see that the color are much more vibrant than the ps3. Looks like the ps3 is still washed out and blurry...................okay I'm just kidding, who here was getting mad? I know some of you were ready to rip me a new one. The 2 comparisons looked exactly the same. But I still call this a win for the 360 since I'm playing the exact same game for $200 less. I wonder if the framerate holds up on the ps3.

Yeah talk about being a sucker. A $200 drop in less than a year.

"is that before or after the two years you have paid for XBL by now? Also, don't forget those peripherals. Hmmm, that sounds like about $200 to me."

I guess Sony doesn't have any peripharals either, right? I guess you can add another $60 for a controller if you want the rumble. Idiot.

It seems a close call but then you look closer:

- the floor mirroring lights/persons etc. looks better on the 360
- movements look more fluently on the 360 (better framerate?)
