There are actually plenty of differences and both systems have strengths and weaknesses and it shows in their top tier games. No myth about that.

And even if Blu-ray doesn't contribute to the look of a game, I'm not sure if that's been proven false though, it DOES contribute to lots more content within a game. MGS4's main advantage was Blu-ray, so it does account for something, which does matter.

Regardless, the article makes several nice points, even if I disagree with a few other ones.

Bold is 100% false.  It contributes NOTHING to the content within a game, it contributes to the amount of content that can be fit on one disc.  I am in no way denying that MGS4 could not be pulled off in one-disc format on 360.  But it could easily be pulled off in multi-disc format, thus meaning that Blu-Ray in no way enhances the amount of content available, only the number of discs that content is packaged on.

Blu-ray does offer higher sotage space..So it's possible to have a game on Blu-ray be bigger than an xbox 360 game on a single dvd disc....for example Lost Odessy might have been capable on one blu-ray disc..

I must say the Blu-ray capacity is in my opinion one of the only good things about the PS3..but when it comes to games it's storage capabilities are meaningless when an xbox 360 game could just additional dvd disc..also think about how PC games are shipped with install disc and one game disc...this could possibly be a part of the xbox 360 future...but MS would have to eliminte the Arcade version or pack it with a 20 gig HDD
