PS3 VS XBOX 360(the real PS3 game pictrues)

Thats hardly comparing like for like then. If you think upgrading your pc would be better for you then fine, but your hardly comparing like for like comparing a whole product to a single component upgrade. Also a console is a set expenditure - you won't have to continuously upgrade your system to play the latest games.

The ps3 looks like a good investment to me - when they drop to £200-250 I'll get one, if only for blu ray playback and final fantasy and tekken games. Graphics, physics and ai will only get better as devs get to grips with the hardware as we have seen over the past few years.

When Final Fantasy x came out for ps2 I'd argue it was better looking than the pc games of the time - despite the far lower hardware spec - the developers were better able to put the hardware to efficient use.

yeah this is the question that hit me this holiday:

do i want a PS 3 ($599 + $50 accesories) or a GeForce 8800GTX($649)?

oh and did i mention that my GeForce 7800gtx 256 sli + e6400 has been running game maxed out(at least on my 19" 1280x1024 monitor) until Flight Simulator X. There are no games i wanna play this year that makes me wanna upgrade.

but i might get R600 or G81 nex year for games like: Tiberium Wars, Supreme Commander, Crysis. I doubt G80 can run those games well.

Hey, i know i will pick PS3(if i can find one :( ). Oh i already got a Xbox 360. Bought one April this year.

The same can be said for the water, sky and hotel. You can actually see cloud volume (or substance giving a 3d shape) on the PS3. On the x360 the clouds look 1 dimensional, flat and out of place using improper lighting.

dead on.

i'm not sure how anyone can say that xbox360 has better lighting. when i look straight up at a building downtown at around noon the side that isn't facing the sun happens to be quite bright regardless since... well... light reflects and hits the back of the building. the 360 is rather dim and dull in comparison. and i'll reiterate about the antialiasing on the 360 as others have; it's poor and unacceptable.

the ps3 falls short on filtering BIG TIME. look at that bridge in the distance on that juxtaposed shot. the 360 is far and away better. however, the ps3 still has an overall better image quality.

as many have said, it's mostly subjective.

The Ps3 version looks like crap compared to the 360. But it may just be the game's fault. We'll just have to wait and see for that.

One thing I don't understand about the PS3: Why did they pair such a powerful (in theory at least) processor with such an old graphics card? Where are they going to use all the proccessing power? Physics?

Yeah u doo that! buy an 8800gts to that comp u bought at the same time as ps2 came out!

what was it? pIII 1ghz?

It's the diff between OpenGL(PS3) and something close to DirectX(Xbox360)

I'm gonna' pick up an xBox 360 this holiday season... and look for a great deal on a 50-56" 1080p DLP tv too!
