This was common knowledge if you took the time to research it properly back then....but yeah most people didnt bother.

Some people in my country still believe the PS3 is considerably more powerfull than a 360 LOL!

Well it still is more powerful, just hard to program it to become so, therefore most games do not. The blu ray presents an advantage, but nothing really beats programming ease. Thankfully developers have decided to program for both. If every developer did what Naughty Dog does on the PS3 multiplats would run really smooth. Unfortunetly not everyone has that experience, concentration, or cash to do more than what's needed, but at least its done. I personally love the cell concept, but it might not be best for gaming. I guess i will be glad if cell bows out to be used more exclusively for supercomputing.

Blue-Ray is only really an advantage with Video and Audio. Models don't take up much room and even then the PS3 can't crunch enough polys for this to matter. High quality textures can take up A LOT of space, but the PS3 doesn't have the RAM or processing power to do anything with very high quality textures either.

And why are people always using Naughty Dog/ Uncharted as an example? Those are some of the most linear, heavily scripted games of the generation. Only On-rail shooters and games like Heavy Rain are worse.

I would love for Naughty Dog to put something out that is a little more dynamic, something that isn't so controlled. All these PS3 exlcusives that people hype up are the same thing. Very linear, heavily scripted games that only place you in very controlled situations.

name me an xbox exclusive that gives more freedom to the player than infamous...

i find it ironic how you use that broad generalisation when at this point in time most recent xbox exclusives are toning down player control massively to support kinect controls
