I think you should include the entire Lens of Truth article that discusses how they didn't realize you could adjust the brightness in the game. That may provide some needed context to your video. (http://www.lensoftruth.com/?p=16360)

To sum it up, the official Lens of Truth "analysis" of the PS3 and 360 versions of MW2 was flawed. They had the brightness jacked up on the PS3 version. They claimed they didn't know they could adjust it. This is surprising since the first thing MW2 asked me to do was to adjust the brightness. Sometimes you need more than a HD capture card and blog to provide a proper "analysis".

You've got it backwards, IW had the brightness jacked up.  LOT did their analysis on the default settings for the game.  But really beyond color differences ther were other reasons they chose 360 as the winner.

Quote "The win was marginal with slightly better visuals, quicker loading times and a higher average fps on the Xbox 360. As stated before, you will not be disappointed with either version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2."


Also two of the staff members chose PS3 over 360

"Personally, I am buying this game for the PS3. In my opinion the differences on the Xbox 360 weren’t enough to detour me from buying the PS3 version. Besides, I don’t have a wireless adapter for my Xbox 360 and I hate dragging a 50 foot cable into my game room every time I want to play online with my Xbox 360. For me it’s well worth it to get the PS3 version especially knowing how much time I’m going to spend online with this game."

"Unlike most people I only played Modern Warfare 1’s campaign. I never quite got used to online play. Seeing how online play didn’t affect my decision here (I don’t buy games just cause my friends have the same game on the same console), I went with PS3 because I don’t think the Xbox has any major advantage. Frankly, anyone who buys this is the clear winner. "


I just seams everyone gets worked up over some color difference.

There technically isn't any "default" brightness.  The first time you load the game it tells you to adjust the brightness and screen size.  The PS3 and 360 were adjusted differently.  If you look at the pictures in the article I linked you will see the brightness in the 360 was actually set too low.  The darker image looks better.  

I don't really follow LensofTruth, so I am not really concerned with who they think "wins" or "loses".



Thanks for the input, Jeff.
