Another form of proof that GameTrailers is not neutral

GT's comparison videos are useless IMHO.

If you are to compare the same game on 2 different platforms, then you need to show all the elements of the game that you can. Although you can't effectively show the differences in audio, what you can do is show the differences in graphics, framerate and loading of the game.

All of GT's 360/PS3 comparison videos show the PS3 version washed out compared to the 360, this is solely down to the settings of the video output. You either make comparisons based on the best available options for both the PS3 and 360 or the basic options for the PS3 and 360.

In the case of the best available and the basic options, the PS3 covers all these options in one unit with HDMI ouptut and hard drive, where as the 360 Core unit does not include HDMI or a hard disk drive, so should show the difference in loads times.

So, it's pretty plain to see that GT and any other comparison site's videos should utilise the best available videos for both to show the differences.

 The PS3 doesn't include HDMI on the box, neither component, just composite.

 

So out of the box, the PS3 has a worste set up compared to the Xbox 360, which comes with component, composite and HDMI if you buy the ELITE version.
