Did you happen to buy your PS3 because of Cell BE? Or the RSX? Or how about the HDMI port? Do you think that sort of rhetoric is any different? Multiplatform games looking better on 360 http://www.gamespot.com/features/6162742/index.html?sid=6162742 Specifically Fight Night's lack of motion blur and Anti-Aliasing, as well as Tony Hawk's lower res textures and lack of AA. Additionally, almost all PS3 games have these problems as well as lower dynamic range(the difference between the darkest part of the picture to the brightest).

This time, it's the all-important field of energy efficiency. The website hardCOREware.net did an in-depth comparison between the energy usage of all three consoles, along with a standard PC. Power consumption during gameplay was determined using NBA Live 2K7 for PS3, Gears of War for XBOX 360, The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess for Wii and lastly, PREY was used for PC. Wii took a mere 18 Watts average, while PC's average was 198 Watts, Xbox 360 averaged 185 Watts, and PC averaged almost 194 Watts. What could possibly go nicer with a Toyota Prius than a Nintendo Wii, we ask you?" @ http://www.nintendorevolution.ca/02232007/22/nintendo_wii_beats_xbox_360_and_ps3_in_energy_efficiency_too Cheaper initially, cheaper in the long run. Thats because the 360 and PS3 have more power and need more energy. Grow up fanboy. stating that a system saves energy is not fanbyish getting mad at someone that said it is quite fanboish
Look at your name. Pot Kettle Black STFU! Bragging about something as stupid as this is fanboyish....which you spelled wrong. Telling him it's has a very good reason and means nothing is not. Now shove along fanboy.

The PS3 can go to hell, I will not waste $600 on it, the price killed it for me. I swear sony thinks we will pay anything for their stuff. I haven't even owned a Sony system in 3 years. The systems I owned were a xbox and a gamecube.

yeah, that whole $100 more for free online games...so tough to pay for. you clearly just don't like the ridiculous amount of exclusive games for the ps2 if you don't own one. that's your choice, but unless you live in europe the price is not that bad for a ps3. but whatever, a console can "go to hell," cause that makes a lot of sense.

$600 is not that bad? ARe you rich or something? I also owned a PS2 until it broke and I got an Xbox rather than a PS2.

that article you quote states: "Both systems have fairly similar graphics in Need for Speed Carbon, but the Xbox 360 has better lighting while the PS3 has sharper textures." so, while some scenes are slightly darker, the road and buildings look better. that is seriously nitpicking to begin with, but even that article isn't conclusive. we really won't know until at least later this year when EA releases everything on both systems or other games. btw, I bought a PS3 for many games I want to play, but the HDMI port doesn't hurt. neither does the 98-99% backwards capability that they are admittedly screwing up if they don't get the software emulation working better than microsoft.

dude, it's $100 more. that's 2 years of online play, 2 controllers, or 2 games. i'll pay $100 for certain games I want to play. in fact, I payed the $200 to get the extra features I won't have to pay for later, but if you look at the ps3 20gb vs xbox360 premium, it's $100 more for virtually the same features and actually more HD space. if you want to pay $50 a year for online games because YOU are rich, you go ahead.
