Madden 09 :

PS3 60fps
Xbow360 60fps

This time : Sony = MS

Aren't Madden and The Orange Box both EA-developed? Well, TOB is a Valve game but the PS3 port was handled by EA.

I haven't noticed anything yet, although I guess it's because I own only one multiplatform game, Oblivion. By brother owns GTAIV, though. I've played Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars's demo once in a very fast pace and didn't notice anything big even though I've heard it has serious framerate issues. But then again it could be just because I played with bots and I didn't have much time.

games seem ok now, its more on the developers side. thats the problem.

cod4,gta4,burnout,dmc4 are all great

ps3 games are slightly better now in my opinion

I haven't seen a hint of slow down ever in my short time as a PS3 Owner, seems to be solid to me, perhaps I just missed that rough patch of early ports, but I think that old criticism of frame rates bogging down to 'unplayable' levels really needs to be shown the door.

i hardly noticed the slowdown on Orange Box, only in Episode 1 and 2

Thanks for the input guys.
It's a bummer about the Half-Life's slowdown, because I've never played that franchise (and I know I need to) and I was planning on it when I finally picked up an HD console. Valve seems to have a better relationship with Microsoft than it does with Sony in general (Left4Dead is also only left 4 360 and PC), and that was a deciding factor for me when choosing between the 360 and PS3. Lately though, I've decided that I should just get a Steam account for my Valve games (among others), and pick up the PS3 as my HD console of choice.
