No...but we are happy that majority of games run better on our gaming system that we paid half as much as the competition.

 

vs. Blu-Ray, free online gameplay, PS3 likely having the edge in exclusives and less than 1/16th the failure rate of the 360 hardware.

And, by and large 360 hasn't been half the price.  Anyone who plays online had better factor that cost in, too.

And what, the Wii isn't competition?   ;)

i stopped believing euro gamer after re5 comparison.

HELL both game look exactly the SAME.
they are almost pixel copies.

Brayan - I'm not sure where you live, but where I am you can get a Ps3 for 399 now. It's still not as cheap as you bought ur 360..but 115 is quite a bit still.

Other than that Eurogamer is trash so yeh. PS3 has proven itself to be a graphic powerhouse and if devs can't wrap their minds around it (the same way that the first party's already have) it will hurt them in the long run. The best games will continue to be delivered by Sony itself.

I love how people who absolutely don't know what the hell they are talking about diss Eurogamer.

It makes for good lulz in the morning.



Tease.

 I guess people are happy with their purchases, or they wouldn't be such fanboys, like you :)

I'm in shock! Who would've thought the 360 would win?

Don't bother BrayanA, he will only "drag you down to his level and beat you with experience".

Dude, you're trying to act tough, but you're too scared to call out who you were referring to.  Nothing substancial to add obviously.

Lol, I just erased something "substantial". I don't know why exactly, except it's related to your last comment.

 

 



God i hate fanboys, almost as much as they hate facts

About Silent Hill Homecoming, PS3 better yes because...

"...the Sony console is running the more playable experience, but some might argue that the cost of that performance increase is too high a price considering how much has been pared down."

This to favor the PS3 version takes the cake. And I'm secure enough as a gamer to where trophies/acheivement does not define me in anyway as a gamer. I won't let SONY/Microsoft determine that with a trophies/acheivement system. And you can argue all you want about it. Because as a gamer, I respected your opinion of "360 takes the edge ... again" while you failed to respect my legit assessment.

Sorry, but this is not mine opinion. This is what cames when you sum up Eurogamer's Richard Leadbetter opinion for pros and cons for different versions of the games in round 18.

- Skate

"the 360 version clearly has a noticeable, tangible advantage, and that makes it the game that's more satisfying to play. But does it make PS3 Skate 2 a write-off? Not really, but playing it definitely leaves you with the sense that it is a game that is being held back by the inadequacies of the code powering it"

So Richard Leadbetter thinks that 360 version has no disadvantages against PS3 version and PS3 fall in some.

360 version - clear winner.

 

- Silent Hill: Homecoming

As I post before - both games has pros and cons. I'm not going to return to them again.

No clear winner.

 

- Need for Speed: Undercover

"Certainly its technical credentials are a league above what is on display in the PS3 version."

So Richard Leadbetter thinks that 360 version has no disadvantages against PS3 version and PS3 fall in some.

360 version - clear winner.

 

- Sonic Unleashed

"the Xbox 360 version of the game is just as grotesque as the PlayStation 3 code in every other way. They're as bad as each other".

No clear winner.

 

- Tom Clancy's EndWar

"with Ubi's key releases such as Prince of Persia performing almost identically on both consoles. Happily, EndWar is another game in the same ballpark ... It's a very neat, very accomplished RTS that plays equally well on both systems".

No clear winner.

 

- Rise of the Argonauts

"Overall then, a Chernobyl-level, world-threatening, nuclear disaster of a game on both platforms"

No clear winner.
