I sometimes wonder which articles people have read when i see thread titles like this because a i read through that whole comparison yet and my general impression was the both versions were very good with a slight edge going to the 360.

Having read the thread title though i thought i might have missed something so I went back to have a look again - "And even though the differences are minor, the Xbox 360 version is the definitive version to purchase."

And this is not the first time I have seen a thread like this in response to a LOT article. It seems like people focus on a sentence or two, get angry, don't bother to read the whole article and then jump to some conclusions.

I'm not saying Lens of Truth isn't full of it but I've yet to be convinced of it by any of their detractors on this site.

Your in a Sony stronghold, if everything isn't pro Sony people complain like someone shot their dog. I too thought that the article pretty much said the 2 versions were very close so I don't see the problem. The 360 is easier to program for and there are only so much time they could use to get this out. So useually the easier to program for will naturally be a little better. No biggie either way if you ask me.

I know but regardless of one's allegiance reading comprehension goes a long way.

Never gotten past the Shadow Temple in Ocarina of Time, I see. :P

loooooo! You didn't get past the Shadow Temple because you didn't have the LENS OF TRUTH!

You get it before the Shadow Temple and can't beat the Shadow Temple without it!

I can't say this for a fact, but I am fairly certain they capture PS3 output improperly.

This happened a year or two ago with Gametrailers as well, they settings of the PS3 and the method used to capture video would lead to washed out colors and slight loss of detail on PS3 screenshots. Immediately after looking through the Lens of Truth comparisons, you can tell the colors of PS3 games appear to be washed out.

After looking through the MW2 comparison, that appears to be the only difference between the two. The PS3 version appears washed out and as a result some of the details are lost. In reality the colors and lighting of the two are likely identical as with every other aspect of the game.

In the lens of truth for BF1943 PS3 there wasn't shadows under the bridges and it was blurry.

When I played it on my PS3, it looked exactly like the 360 version in the comparisons.. no joke.

ha that is maybe perfect name for site then. if that is what they do, compare graphics between ps3/360. see mysteries that are "invisible" to the naked eye.

OMG so and so console is so much better because polygon #139320384 is crisper on this console than that one, lol

I don't think a site needs a MS check to be fanboy, anymore than you need one, Garnett. =)

I actually don't think Lens of Truth is a fanboy site at all. But I do think their screenshot method is just plain busted.
