Assigment... no i just need someone that understands all that tech and explain what it means in normal people's english. Christmas is near and i haven't deceided which console to buy. i don't want to know which console is better because none is better they are all different.

I know people always say buy the console with the games you like, but the games i like have most gone multi-platform. There's only 1-2 exclusive games on the PS3 that i want and they are MGS4 n FF13. On the Xbox 360 Gears of War is great. Halo 3 is very good and can't wait for GTA IV.

With both consoles marketing plot saying that their product can do this and that have all this processing power and teardrops and whatever. Also with Sony coming out and saying games in 2008 and later will have 1080p and they have only really used 30% or whatever of the PS3 potiential.

Sorry for posting like 3-4 times well i had to post on each forum like - Sony and Xbox. I thought i would alot of opinions and answers.

Anyway i offended people then please by all means close all the other topics, but please keep this i think this is in the right forum section.

As far as the Blu-Ray vs. HD DVD i've heard from store mangers that i talk to that in the future all studio companies will release on Blu-Ray, even Paramount, but becasue of Microsoft giving out $100 million cheques they are requred to support only HD DVD.

So from that you can see my dilemma i don't want to a product and later become useless because the other consoles has the same game with the same or better quality.


At the end of the day none of the tech stuff will matter. Only the politics. Most companies will only make one version and port the other over. In this case it's very unlikely they'll make a PS3 version then port down. Combine it with the fact that the 360 has more consoles the chance is even less likely of PS3 being the lead on the majority of projects. Even if the PS3 comes back it likely won't beat the 360 in America. Basically the 360 is going to be the lead platform more often then not so most multi-plat games will likely look the same... while some may run better for 360 since they were made for 360 first. The PS3 exclusives will likely look better then the 360 exlcusives... but which games will be better is up in the air.
