| a.l.e.x59 said: I don't care what any of you say. You could say that the Xbox 360 could be better than the Playstation 3 in any department, except for one thing. Blu-Ray is far superior than HD-DVD. You will always get a finer picture with Blu-Ray, and that's a fact! By the way, since Sony wanted their Playstation 3 to be the best gaming console ever, why couldn't they have looked at the Xbox 360 specifications, and make sure that the Playstation 3 specifications were stronger in every single department? |
blu-ray does not make picture quality better. Video quality has always been dependent on codecs, bitrate, and the quality of the player. Now blu-ray can have a higher bitrate, but that only matters with MPEG-2. Every HD-DVD film has used VC-1 or MPEG-4: AVC, which not only give a cleaner picture than MPEG-2, but are at their optimum at a much lower bitrate, so the larger size of blu-ray won't make those films look any better.
Now the quality of the player is also a factor. The 360 was not meant to be a high end HD-DVD player, so the picture quality of HD-DVD cannot be judged on that system. Look at a full HD-DVD player (even 1080i ones are rated highly) versus the PS3 to get a good indication of picture.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
