PS3 or X Box 360

well to stick my oar in listen to niz406, for some of us who
are older lol

this is beggining to sound like the sega
fiasco that happened a good while back around the time of the ps1
they just mad a complete cock up and sony appear to have
done the same now the ps3 is late not that well supported
the european version is lacking the hardware chip that
allows all ps2 games to work hence only approx 1100
titles that work no word on whether ps1 games will work
if anyone wanted to try lol, now to the 360 hmmm yes
it does have some compatibility issues with older xbox games
it was realeased well before the ps3 has good hardware
well supported, the Wii well the less said about that
the better.

Few points here...

niz406 wrote: BlueRay = 10 Year old Technology, relies on MPEG2 compression! 10 year old WTF

MPEG2 was introduced in 1992, MPEG4 in 1998. So "10 year old WTF" applies to MPEG4 too.

Nowt wrong with MPEG2. on 20+Mbit 1080p HDTV streams you won't tell the difference between MPEG2 and h.264 in the majority of cases (obvious shortcomings include things like the Stargate Atlantis intro, which can exhibit MPEG artifacts when you look at it frame-by-frame.

My PC (using a very new motherboard) has PCI devices, both onboard via the southbridge, and a plug-in PCI board. The PCI specification was released in 1992 too, but you don't hear me going "15 year old WTF"

Another problem I have is that Sony are claiming FULL HD output @ 1080p.. for the uneducated Full HD output is 720p, 1080p is the industry standard for cinematography... thats right Hollywood film making not games consoles!! lmao

As far as I'm concerned, "full HD" (even though there's actually no such term) is 1080p. All my screens run at 1080p native (actually the computer monitors are WUXGA - 1920x1200 but hey) and I love it. The low res of 720p is quite annoying. Also I play games at 1920x1200 on my PC. Nice. Much better than low resolutions like 720p...

As for Hollywood film making, I think you'll find they use resolutions much, much higher than 1080 for recording and mastering. 1080p is just what they ship to us end-users.

The 360 will still be around when the PS3 is retired to the shelf like the betamax... Another Sony FLOP !

Bah fanboyism

I *might* get a PS3 in a year or so when the price is much lower and I can play Gran Turismo on it, and even if I never buy another game, I'll be happy.

FWIW I put in many hundreds of hours to clock GT3 and GT4 on my PS2, and despite the fact the only other games I bought for it are the Grand Theft Auto games, I reckon it was a damn good buy!

It's a variant of MPEG4, Microsofts own propriatary compression, so its not 9 years old at all

BlueRay is MPEG2 compression! fit for purpose but old and has much to be improved on!

WTF is that... dude no relevance at all! ! ! Keep on topic! We're talking consoles not Computers.. ( You don't want to get me started on PC's! )

Again, your talking in computer terms with regards resolutions and output standards ! native exactly! In terms of Televisions Full / True / HD is 720p, whilst the most expensive tv's offer 1080p compatibility... do you thinkl Sky HD is transmitted in 1080p.... NO its 720p hahahahahahahahahahahahaha no European HD transmits at anything over 720p.. so stfu n00b !

Serious? thats not what I found out through researching the net ! Do you have links?

For what reason, other than one game.. is it worth it?

Well, not really.... she just couldn't make her mind up after having two weeks to think about what she wants, so I made it easier for her and walked away!

I feel that something is amiss, like foul play or something ! Who know's You just can't trust women these days ! lol

The black Xbox 360 has been officially announced today from Micro$oft:
120GB and HDMI - selling as "Xbox 360 Elite"
They've even released a black HD-DVD drive to go with it.

Hummm its Microsoft..... so probably not ! lol

*waits for the paradox iso-loader to play "backups"...*

But I have all 3 (360,Wii,PS3) and can say that I love them all. Each has it's own coolness somewhere.

I like the design of the PS3 (but I like the forman grill too lol) Imagine if the PS3 could grill.... mmmm...Slap in a good shooter.... Slap in a cheese sandwich... shoot aliens and *ding*
sandwich done....

Kinda sad. I got the PS3 mostly for blueray and I wanted it to replace my xbox1(as multimedia center)

I think the PS3 will surpass the 360 in the next year.
