PS3 may never catchup to the 360

The problem though is that I can't get the same experience for cheaper. I have yet to see a 360 title that impresses me more than Uncharted, Ratchet, OR heavenly sword :/ 

With MS's latest killer exclusive Mass Effect, I played it, and was not technically impressed. I was not wow'ed in the least. Then I think about games like GT5 on the horizon running 1080p, 60 FPS, and supporting 16 cars online? The sad thing is, I would say Assassins creed is probably the best looking game I've seen on the 360, and thats multi-plat :( Keep in mind I have played Gears of War, Halo 3, Bioshock AND Mass Effect.

Broken promises are one thing, notoriously horrible hardware is another :( Getting your box fixed in European country's has been a major hastle from what I've heard and isn't so easily remedied. Microsoft will be fighting the uphilll battle in Europe/Japan, and to be honest I don't think thats a fight they're prepared for. They will do great in America though :P

Looks are not everything, you would think you would know that since uncharted, HS, and ratchet all look fantastic yet are below ME and other lesser looking games.

Ahh but see the quality of the game isn't in question here. We were talking about "technical showpieces" or "getting the same experience for cheaper" on the other console. So far I haven't seen anything the PS3 couldn't handle that the 360 puts out, yet I have seen things that go above and beyond what the 360 can on the PS3. From a technical standpoint the PS3 has the advantage. Game ratings are one thing, but putting two consoles side by side with their showpieces is more or less what I'm talking about here. 

technical showpieces it may be, but it could easily be possible that the games themselves suffered from them. Each of these "technical showpieces" were very short (dont know how long ratchet is though....) Actually we dont know what the 360 can handle, no one is trying to push the hardware. IF gears of war does not top it you might be able to say that, so far weve only had sony developers state that its not possible on the 360.

Qaulity is not visuals, its overall the game. Qaulity is going to be everything combined it is why the quality of the 360s is higher, hence the higher scores.

If 360 were to have a showcase i would play that with you, but it doesnt. All the games are not 6-10 hours (cept halo but thats mult based) and are big time games that are not multiplatform. Games like COD look great on the 360, and im sure we can get more.
