Another form of proof that GameTrailers is not neutral

HOLY CRAP. The RGB settings are NOT relevant to this debate, as they use COMPONENT connections for BOTH systems!

They are not "afraid" to show the HDMI output for the PS3 because the "optimizations" make it look better than 360 (which is a complete load anyway). They are simply unable to record the output. Geez, fanboys are ridiculous.

Then why make a stupid comparison at all?

If I have HDMI and own both a 360 and ps3 I want to know which version has better graphics, if there bull $hit vids shows the 360 looking better I would buy the 360 version.

Ahhh. Someone listen to me! Please! Listen!

You cannot record through HDMI. It isn't possible on a retail PS3. It IS NOT POSSIBLE. Even if they wanted to, they could not record for GameTrailers via HDMI. Do I need to ay this in any other way?

actually you can.. Gametrailers is just a bunch of retards working the tech side.

 

FRAPS WTF!!!

 Wouldn't you need to hook this up via a computer? Wouldn't it need to be compatable with HDCP? 

I'd assume this doesn't work, simply because it would make Blu Ray movies recordable and shareable with no hacks necessary, but maybe I'm wrong. 

Edit: looks like Rocketpig got to all this first. As has been said, even if this did work, it's incredibly impractical. Such a hookup would be unfair. What isn't unfair -- and is in fact entirely appropriate -- is using factory default settings for both machines. No fuss, no copyright problems. 

Which reminds me: another way to do this is to use a debug PS3, not a retail one. Which would also be sillyy. Gametrailers is using default retail specs, and it would actually be inappopriate to go way out of their way to make the PS3 look better (by actually using a non-commercial PS3 that a normal consumer could not possibly own, or to hook a PS3 up through a PC and use two displays and so forth in such a complicated, messy scheme) than to simply allow both to stand on their own.

 

Again, still no answer for this: what's so wrong about using factory standard settings for both systems? That seems like a completely balanced and appropriate way to display these games. What Leo-J is suggesting -- that Gametrailers go out of their way to make the PS3 look as good as possible -- that is what would be biased.
