Well now we can put to rest the stupid notion that the ps3 version was gimped because of the xbox360.

What does that have to do with anything?

 

The cutscenes are 1080P UN COMPRESSED, on the ps3.

BS. Uncompressed video is not possible on today's consoles or PCs (unless you have an ultra-fast hard drive).

Uncompressed audio, yes. Video, no.

 

you see this is the kind of nonsense that gets thrown around all the time, I'm glad you were able to clear that up for us NJ5. 

Just in case someone still doubts it, here is the easy calculation to show why:

1920 pixels * 1080 pixels * 3 bytes per pixel (red, green blue) * 24 frames per second = 149 299 200 bytes = 145 800 KB = 142 MB per second.

Where are the hard drives, or optical drives that can read that fast? And where is the storage medium to store 500 GB per hour of movies?
