Cant say I am surprised that you are the guy who said that, obvious PS3 fanboy/troll but in any case no, im not judging by EA's standard, its called an example. Here ill throw you another bone, how about...the Orange Box or...Ghost Recon, you take your pick.

Fact remains I own both consoles and for multiplat games 360 is better, I dont think you can find me any examples where the PS3 verision outshines that of the 360.

Buy youself a 360 and we can talk cause I think it would be obvious to you rather then so hard to understand what I am saying.

 


Oblivion (720p vs 600p, longer draw distances, less frequent loading times, more content, etc). This one really outshines the 360 version (also one of the more demanding games) and read my sig below with regard to future potential. (the Bethesda comment)

Then you have a long list of games which are about on par (ironically the more demanding ones, not so ironic though if you understand the reasons), EA's game ports are mostly subpar although Fight Night Round 3 on the PS3 was IMO overall a better game. For reasons why various 360 games have been hard to port over to the PS3 click the link below.


You got some of it right, specifically the Knights of the Nine being included for free.  But let's examine the rest:

1. 720p vs 600p.  Can't say I've determined the resolution on the 360 or have read that it was 600p, but it gets upscaled to 1080 by hardware (yeah, not the same as native 1080 but it helps) and I haven't been able to see a difference unless you're talking about the PC version on high-end hardware with lots o' mods.

2. Longer draw distances.  Negated when the 1.2 update for 360 came out shortly after the PS3 release of the game.

3. Less frequent load times.  My friends with PS3s complain that they experience this more than when they've seen it on my 360, so I would be interested to see some hard data on this rather than speculation or anecdotal evidence.

 

So, I agree that the Nights of the Nine was a sweet freebie for PS3 users, but 2 of the guys at work that were playing Oblivion on the PS3 have actually gone out and switched to the PC version so they could get more "360-like content" (one of the guy's comments, not mine).  Some of the stuff they were after that's can be downloaded for 360 (for modest fees):

1. Mehrunes Razor

2. Wizard's Tower

3. Horse Armor

4. Thieve's Den

5. The Orrery

6. Fighter's Stronghold

7. Spell Tomes

8. The Vile Lair

 

And of course, Nights of the Nine is available to the 360 for $10 or so.  So, I can't agree in any measure that the PS3 version has more content... just one of the add-on's for free.  The 360 versions has a lot more available Oblivion content.
