Fix the Red Ring of Death on your Xbox 360

check out burn out paradise. burn out games are notorious for slow down. which 360 undoubtedly has but is non existant on the ps3. according to the developers ps3 is the system to play it on for the "optimum burnout experience" - (ea interview by john davison )

metal gear solid 4 simply stunning and have you seen killzone2's single player campain?

and dont tell me to check out gears because if you look at gears next to kz2 you will undoubtedly see that kz has the superior graphics.

check out the upcoming uncharted2 you undoubtedly see a bump in the ps3 side. along w/ more particle effects cleaner textures and zero slow down.

ohh and have we forgotten sony's 10+ year plan?

even w/ Kojima (maybe one of the most prolific game developers this century) having the reigns on MGS4 sony, nerfed his dev package. it's pretty well known that he was pissed about this. which lead to the future release of MG rising not being a sony exclusive. i like kojima's work but sometimes he can be a diva. "one pissy artist is not going to change our entire company's decade long plan." - sony (off the record)
back to the subject. but while kojima had a nerfed dev pack he was still able to produce the eye candy that is mgs4.

most companies are saying we have not touched teh surface on either console, ea was the only one saying otherwise. one of the major problems with the ps3 versus the 360 is that the ps3 is using an older nvidia video chip which can not support antialiasing and hdr at the same time. which, is why they had to use bloom in a lot of the rendering processes, and most exclusive sony titles look great on the ps3 but the titles shared by the 360 and pc look noticeably better, since it would take extra dev time to get the ps3 to look the same..

install base was pretty small compared to microsoft. so alot of developers didnt want to produce for sony. it always boils down to the bottom line.
game development is a business after all is said and done.
but trust me w/ the bump in ps3 sales in the first month of the price drop alone, developers are going to be more than willing to put in the extra time and effort.
 
Theres no point comparing single console only games for graphics. I also look more to sim games for graphics...since there is a direct easily visible correlation to our lives. I know what a car looks like...not a tank in the rain during war.

Needs to be from a company like EA. If they claim the x360 is at its limit...make one game for both...to the limit of the x360 and at the limit of the PS3. Same gameplay, same imagery, just enhanced for each graphic system.

Forza 2 and 3 own the entire Gran Turismo series.

I prefer the X360 controller but I tend to stick to racing games...no one wins that war, thats just personal opinion based on games you play.

x2, i tend not to prefer one over the other. Almost all of my games for the xbox 360 are racing
 
I dont know what your all confused about with xbox live costing money.

It doesnt neccissarily cost you anything.

With a FREE silver account you can still access every bit of online content. Download whatever you want, movies, games, add ons, tv shows...

The only thing that costs is if you want to play your game online...
And still, 50 bucks for the best online gaming experience out there is cheap. Hell, almost any new game cost 60.

As for the 360 hitting the wall graphically... Not even close. It generally takes at least 4 years before we see the full capability of any machine. And the 360 is no diffrent. With each new game, the graphics get better and better. To be honest, they are already light years beyond what sonys machine has been able to do. True, the cell processor in the sony may well be a faster chip, but the graphics chipset is old tech. It really doesnt matter what the proccessor can do if the GPU is bottlenecking it. Not to mention this. Load times on a PS3 can only match a 360's because you have to install half of the game to the hard drive.

I still have over 30 gigs free on my 60 gig hdd for my box. Most people with a ps3 run out of space and end up having to delete stuff, or get a new hdd for it. That my friends is dumb.

november 22, 2005 = the release of Xbox 360
hitting the wall this year sounds about right, and microsoft is known for pushing out content way before proper stress test. any or should i say every pc gamer running vista (imcluding me) can atest to this as well as many regular vista users. this holiday cycle 360 is definatly going to be redlining their machines for the holiday titles and next years q1 titles, while ps3's are going to be cruise control. all im saying is, expect 360 fail rates to go even higher in the next couple of months.

and "light years beyond"? have you read my post before the last.
also, the only game that was released on both consoles in where the graphics was not as good or worse than the 360 was atari's "ghostbusters: the video game" because of atari's current financial status im pretty sure the reason the ps3's graphics were nerfed was because they couldnt afford invest the r&d to produce for it. im pretty sure the voice work alone cost them a pretty penny

ps3 hard drive 320gb @ $55
360 hard drive 120gb @ $115 <---- now that my friend is dumb

my brother has an original 30gb ps3 and hasnt hit a point where he's been lacking space on his hd.
as for me i'm using a 80 gb hard drive play about 10 disk based games on a regular basis and a minumum of about 5 hd based games not including a weekly flow of about 10 demos. and not to mention that i use my ps3 for video encoding on a nightly basis. all that said i still have over half my hard drive free to do whatever i please.

This isnt about what I have read, this about what I know from owning both systems.
I used to love the X, but I got sick of Microsoft not having certain games that PS3 had. Furthermore the games the XBOX had that PS3 also had were not as visual or flowing as the PS3 games. I guess its preferance for most who havent had both systems and dont know. But I do know! I used to have to clear out games from the XBOX to make it more capable and got tierd of spending money to be XBOX live, the fianl draw was the dreaded RROD and that was playing a game for 2 hours. I havent spent one dime except to buy games/movies and speical updates of games through PS3 but never to play games or search the internet. and I have played Batman Arham for 10 hors straight with no glitches, so pausing, no issues with the system, NOTHING!

Say what you want about your XBOX, but its a waste of money in my opinion, they pushed it out the door to get the christmas money to save thier a$$es from production issues bottom line. Bill may build decent computer, but there is a reason Apple is beating them out and its because they use an old template instead of new deveopment to progress into the future. Atleast SONY waited another year before releasing the PS3 to make sure they wouldnt have the same issues Microsoft did after a month out in the public.

And if I recall correctly, Just about 2 months after the PS3 was out anyone that purchased that XBOX was trading it in at gamestops for a $150.00 rebate on a PS3. And guess who paid for that $150.00 rebate? it wasnt Microsoft!

And as far as the game capabilities go, yes both systems are off 5+ years in what it could be. Both have been talking about a full submersival 3d game. and both are running off the quake 4 engine in the games
