This is what I was hinting at. Besides, it really doesn't matter.


PSU: In addition to our above question, has the utilization of the PS3 hard drive allowed for better graphics? And will load times be shortened due to the PS3 install?

Etgeton: Installing to the PS3 hard drive allows us to “stream” textures and audio faster than the Blu-Ray drive can deliver.

that doesnt say its better than the 360 version at all.  it means installing is better than blu ray.

It's a comparison than if the game were to be running of a disk. Downloading to the hard drive enables this to happen. I'm sure it works the same with new NXE experience.

running off a blu ray disc.  you cant then make such a statement about the ps3s install to the dvd disk of the 360 version because they havent provided you information to do that.  its illogical even. some of textures were slower to load anyways when i did my comparison. 

you seem to be freaking out for no reason anyways.  i recommended the game to people even after i did my comparison.  none of its issues effected the atmosphere of the game, which is the most important aspect.  and the significant point that should have been taken from my initial post in this thread was the "considerable amount cheaper"

Most games with MP I get on the PS3, though I do make sure that I buy some Xbox games to keep my achievements up

I just prefer the PS3 system, so PSN, trophies, XMB, DS3, I like all of them more than my Xbox

PS3, I refuse to pay for LIVE (and a wifi adaptor - $89?? WTF!!) and prefer the DS3. Most of my 360 games are used - they've much easier to find!

I'm freaking out? I said this didn't matter a few posts ago.

Xbox 360 versions tend to look/run slightly better and I like the controller.



Tease.

I have all 3 consoles this gen, and tend to get the 360 version of games - though a dev/publisher will send me the PS3 version of games every now and then. Mostly, I list the 360 first, PS3, then Wii.

I'm gonna do a post about the PS3 version of games and accessories.

No difference in X360 and PS3 multi-platform titles. The press will say X360 are better than PS3 versions of games because obviously the X360 games tend to outsell PS3 games by a wide margin. You do not want to annoy majority consumers by saying their version is inferior to the minority consumers game on rival console.

However X360 has Achievement Points and X360 games tend to get more exclusive DLC due to MS deep pockets. PS3 games have trophies and free online play. PSN and XBox live both let you play games online.
