Very, very far. Heavenly Sword was the start, Unchartered was there, MGS IV picked up and pushed the graphics, and here we have K2 storming through CELL and eating as much as 60% of its raw power and delivering outstanding graphics, the best game with graphics across all platforms that is and as of now.

well x360 is finished

27th february will be the nail in its coffin

PS3 will win this gen too. PS3 had a slow start

but after 27th it is all over for X360

Gears 2 looks more like a PS2 game vs uncharted so no need to even mention KZ2

Chicko makes an interesting point, what would it do to the industry if a system and its direct competitor no longer went head to head but instead took their own path? Would people rake M$ over the coals because the 360 couldn't keep up with the PS3 and they had to release a second machine (technically in the same generation) to compete? Interesting questions these.

yeah but I would expect that MS would take the angle that they won this console generation because they have more sales at the time of announcing their next system.
They already said something along those lines by saying that the system which sells 20m consoles first wins based on previous generations of consoles.
I expect the ps3 to last 10yrs min giving it far better lifetime sales than the xbox360.
As I said on another page, I expect the next xbox wont be a huge leap forward and will only bring it up to the same capabilities as the ps3. They cant afford to release a system more expensive than the ps3 in this economic climate.

Killzone is great, but in the interview with the developer, they said they limited Killzone 2 to 720p because they want to keep the game smooth. Dont get me wrong, its a first day purchase for me. It made me think that the 1080p isnt an ideal resolution for the PS3, maybe PS4 things all games will be 1080p. Maybe the developers will find a way around that, we'll see...

Thursday, January 29, 2009 @ 9:49:44 AM

Allow the Wizard to ellaborate:

1080i and 1080p are different!

The only difference is the way the the lines are loaded onto the screen. Interlaced images load lines through odd's and evens. The even's will load first shortly followed by odd's. eg. 2,4,6,8,10 will load, then 1,3,5,7,9 etc... etc..

1080p ... Progressive scan images will load sequentially which will result in the same 1080 resolution. No image quality difference if your watching a true 1080HD film or programme.

The only difference is when you watch your standard definition programming or dvd's on a 1080i display. Progressive scan sets will display standard definition far better than interlaced display technology.

You don't really want to be playing standard definition through 1080i anyway. 720p is about as high as you can go without noticing any substantial image quality loss from standard definition.

Allow KJ to add his 2 pennies:

It takes a good TV to prove it though. That's why XBoxHeads generally don't respect it though. Most of them got TVs that only do 720p.

I don't know about this - I own both systems and while there are some great looking PS3 games I haven't seen anything that compares with Gears 2 (and before you flame me, I own Resistance FoM 2 and played - and loved - Uncharted so I'm considering those as well). Resistance2 is the best I've seen so far on the PS3, but the textures and environments all feel distinctly angular compared to what you see with Gears2. From what I've seen of K2 it looks very good, especially the particle effects of the smoke and fire, but again, they are also VERY good in Gears2. I think Sony chose a relatively weak GPU compared to the 360, even though I prefer nVidia to ATI for PC cards (because of the drivers) it just seems underpowered especially in terms of frame rate and anti-aliasing.

Now where I think we WILL see a gap widen is in AI and physics, since the CPU-lets on the cell can do those calculations without relying on the underpowered GPU, but I don't think we'll see huge differences in still shots going forward, just in the realistic AI and environmental deformation, etc. I could be wrong, we'll see...

Back in 2005 or something, some "theoretical" specs started to get spread around. "Theoretical" in this case meaning some fanboy spinning a wheel of numbers and just assigning the lowest ones to the ps3. then sites like this one http://forum.pcvsconsole.com/viewthread.php?tid=19237 posted stats a full five months before the ps3 was even released, showing that even when your 360 goes RRoD, it is still going to run laps around the ps3. That site is still the first google result nearly 3 years later by the way, so I would assume that is where this crap comes from.

MGS4 is in a completely higher level in graphics...in animation, color, detail, art-style, and video quality. I understand diplomacy, but, for example, one need not opine the color of the sky. I can only guess that you are using an older-tech TV, where you are not getting the full quality of hd-graphics, but I saw the difference even on my 22" lcd monitior. My 40" one just made the difference more obvious.

Its interesting cuz M$ claim they are going to stick it out with Sony but they keep cutting the price on the xbox just to stay competitive and its like how low is it going to go until they price themselves out of the console war its already rumor of another price cut, people that want one already have one so whats left to buy, PS3 and this will be the year to invest in the PS3 it has the best line up and the games will certainly separate PS3 from the competition

I find it interesting how MS likes to release consoles that have all of the access to its power available right out of the gate, much like a pc. Actually, if you want to think of it that way, that's basically what they're doing with each system so far. Releasing a cheaper, never-changing pc that plays games--how can the results be any better years down the road, after 80% of its power has been tapped since year 2? Surely, that will affect the system's longevity. I think the fact that the cell is proving to be more of a "tough nut to crack", it'll almost guarantee the ps3's lifespan 5+ years. The world is obsessed with maxing out the next-best thing, and if it takes time to max out the PS3's guts, all the better.

Seeing that the 360's install base is bigger, the 3rd party games will look to make the ps3 downplay itself more often than not since the games will be catering to the 360's hardware first (we can all attest to seeing that).

But-

Aside from the 3rd party problem, I wonder.. As the graphical bar rises, will we see more companies going PS-exclusive because of developers wanting to make the most out of their games, and discarding the idea downgraded ports? I mean, the wider the gap the harder it is to jump it right?

I have had the same concern for a long time. Third party devs want their games to look identical on both systems.

In the past, when devs were porting 360 games to ps3, they could not make them look as good on the ps3, but they didnt care because there were so many more 360 owners than ps3 owners.

Now that they want the games to look identical, I wonder if the 360 will hold the Ps3 back. While the ps3 is selling better and better, there are still more 360s out there. Would they risk alienating all the 360 owners by making their games look better on the Ps3?

Hopefully not, but it does have me a little worried.

I love it because I can go back and play through such brilliant gems as SotC, and also go pick up a few cheap PS2 games while I wait for the most exciting PS3 games to come out (though recently, there hasn't been much waiting time!)

Evan Wells, Naughty Dog co-president, claims that Uncharted 2 could potentially be the first game that pushes the Cell to its limits. (Game Informer 189, pg 32)

Uncharted 1 used about 30% of the SPU's power, by the way. Killzone 2 uses about 60% of the SPU's power (someone confirm/correct for me?).

...also, if KZ2 is only using 60% if the Cell (however they measure it), it is quite possible not all SPU's were used fully... quite possibly only 4 were used... making the 60% ration probably. If 40% is left... therefore 2 SPU's out of the 8 are still available; or are not loaded sufficiently to make much difference to the overall speed of the game engine and associated post processing and/or physics calculations as they are currently!

Now if KZ2 wasn't as pretty as MGS4, then I would take what Kojima said to heart. But who cares if his best was bested? He just hit his limit is all, and someone was able to do it better.

Believe it or not, he said something like that, you can't make that up. So its not that he didn't like the ps3's power, the man's visions is just a lot grander than what consoles can handle at the moment, at least for him. he is a perfectionist

I am not sure I quite agree with this. Because yes the PS3 will push more and more, but Microsoft knows they are sinking ship. It is inevitable that a new Microsoft console will launch well ahead of PS3's time of superiority. Once we can really see a difference the 360 will have already been phased out.

When I got my 1080p lcdtv this, weekend, i noticed a huge difference in all my ps3 games, even the 720p ones, being upscaled, but especially WipeoutHD (1080p and 60fps). When I tested out Gears2, even though it's stated on the box it supports 1080p, I could see clearly see that wasn't the case at all. In fact, the image looked worse over the larger screen, looking more grainy and cruddy, with washed out colors. I especially saw this with the cut-scenes and accredited that to limitation of dvd-9 (low-res video to save space). The animations were noticably choppy, perhaps purposely to ease consistency with online play. The textures were detailed, and at times you could get a large number of "toy-soldiers" on screen, which were really just background assets. But I didn't get the wow-factor I was looking for. And as for the majority of 360 owners, they still prefer COD4 and Halo.

With competitive multiplayer, definitely CoD4 and Halo gets the nod. With single player, hands down Gears2 blow the other 2 out of the water. Co-op multiplayer is a tossup between Halo and Gears2 because horde mode plainly just kicks ass and you can play the Halo3 campaign with 4 players online.

Welcome to the fold Aftab. What type of LCD did you get?

As for M$ft, they put "1080p" on the back of all their boxes, even on the multiplats that have "720p" on the back of the PS3 box.

Could they be doing this to deceive the consumer into thinking the 360 is more powerful than the PS3?

If so, wouldn't that be grounds for a lawsuit based on misadvertising, especially if the games they claim run in "1080p" only run in "720p"?

Well I never thought my Dreamcast was better but it did run certain things smoother, does that sound familiar? It's because DC ran Microsoft's Windows CE and was accessible as hell, so much so it's a fantastic emulator and great for pirates, oh yeah so is the xbox1 and 360 is headed that way.

I don't think 360 will die at least not in NA & PAL though it is already dead in japan(almost all rpg are on 360 it is half price yet sony has sold more consel), come ff13, versus, gt5, & ICO, and of course price drop, it would be good idea to give up on jp for microsoft. But as for NA sony has some work to do, and PAL sony probably will over turn this year but not enough to kill 360.

I can believe, just about 3-4 months ago I was about to sell my ps3 for 360. I knew that Assasins Creed and Far Cry 2 had sharper textures and was more fluent (fps) when there was action on screen. But the thinking of exclusives like GoW 3 and other changed my mind. Thank God for that:)

Ah Ben, have I not been preaching this? Cell+RSX. The beauty of the Cell is that we can see games run @ 120 fps.Once you see 120Hz HDTV become more available,who knows you just might see it near the end of the PS3's life cycle. However...well Im not going to go that far into the future. Just know this,that there is still alot of untapped power in the Cell,even with how Killzone 2 looks and feels.
For those of you, Killzone runs 2 of the 6 SPEs up to all 6 with a maxium of 60% with all SPEs running. Remember,this is Guerrilla's 1st gen game.

With the Cell. It's 2 things,Speed and calculations. This is one of many reasons why to own a PS3. Sony was always there to push the industry forward. Invested heavily for us gamers.

The funny thing I found about your comment is that you refer to xbox fanboys as "xbots" yet insulting someone because they prefer a different console to yourself isis fanboyism in the biggest degree. For this reason I'd like to point a few things out:

First of all I have a PS3 and an Xbox 360 as I'm a big gamer and have been playing video games for over 20 years now and I like to be able to play all of the games that come out.

Now what you said about "....history is repeating itself again......" actually made me physically laugh... not "lol".

You see History of video gaming generally shows two consoles battling for their share of
market and there are always fan boys on both sides. However this wasn't what made me laugh so much but more of the fact you said

"I've been saying this since mid 2007...the Dreamcast fanboys did the exact same thing, "claimed all day long it had better online, better games, better graphics, better controller"

See what I find so amusing about this is that people are comparing the dreamcast to the ps2 battle using the online gaming failure as a comparison to the xbox live feature on the xbox.

Well what is so funny about that is the dreamcast was too far ahead of it's time. Online gaming was something that the average joe video gamer wasn't interested in at that time. The dreamcasts biggest failirue was that Sega had lost alot of faith from the video gaming world after releasing the sega saturn and never really got to go one on one with the PS2 so is a terrible comparrison.

To take a comparative look back you should look at the PS2 vs the xbox.

PS2 = came out first
xbox = came out when the ps2 had a big catolog of games already
PS2 = a less powerful machine but gave the fans a big enough step up from the playstation 1
xbox = a more powerful machine with alot more potential than the PS2 (unfortuently released too late to use that potential as the next gen of consoles were not far off).
PS2 = got cheaper very quickly and made sony a profit still
Xbox = was seen as "too expensive" without enough titles

now by now you should be catching onto something....

the PS3 is the new xbox and the xbox 360 is the new PS2. Microsoft saw what went wrong last time around and built on the online gaming market that they drew in using the xbox.

xbox 360 = came out first
PS3 = came out when the xbox 360 had a big catolog of games already
xbox 360 = a less powerful machine but gave the fans a big enough step up from the xbox
PS3 = a more powerful machine with alot more potential than the xbox 360
xbox 360 = got cheaper very quickly and is making Microsoft a profit still
PS3 = was/ still is seen as "too expensive" without enough titles (although it is starting to expand now it's had some time)

Add to the mixture that Microsoft realised the potential in selling machines by getting people into online gaming and you'll see Sony have been off the pulse for a long time now.

I personally hope that Killzone 2 will be a huge revolutionary game but in all honesty I can't see it happening. Titles that are bigged up as being the next best game ever etc generally are not as good as they are hyped up to be.... take gears of war 2 and little big planet as examples. Little Big Planet and Gears of War 2 are both amazing games but they were both hyped up so much that when they came after the initial wow factor people were slightly disapointed that they were'nt as big of a deal as they were made out to be.

Killzone was hyped as a "Halo killer" and it was terrible!! It was another very unoriginal FPS whereas Halo 1 was a breath of fresh air for the FPS genre as it had such a great engine. Killzone 2 is being hyped as a Halo 3/ Gears of War beater and although I have every confidence in Sonys ability to make it look stunning I dont see the gameplay being as amazing as it is being hped up to be. It will be another great game that I'll add to my collection but would have enjoyed alot more if Sony hadnt overhyped it (just like gears of War 2).

Now one other thing I want to point out is that people have this idea that the PS3 is going to come out with these mind blowingly better looking games than the 360 and I hate to burst a bubble but this isn't going to be as big of a deal as it's made out to be.

The only games that will have a huge significant difference will be made by Sony themselves as developers prefer using the xbox 360. Now this could potentially change as this article suggests but what you are forgetting is the developers are not going to pick a side and therefore even if they can make a game for the PS3 better they will not do so at the cost of the xbox 360 because if the game comes out on both consoles they look to make alot more money which is what they are aiming for.

The bottom line is the PS3 has alot more potential what with the storage space of blu ray, the actual design of the console and the fact it is so much more versatile but so long as developers like the 360 you won't see graphical differences between the two so big that the PS3 will change the market because developers want to make profit and both consoles selling a title = more profit. Just take fifa 09 for example.... despite looking great and having alot more depth to it and so on it was released on the PS2 also meaning it had to be dumbed down a little (as ea themselves said).

I agree with some points this article made and I am more than happy with my PS3 and the direction it is going in, it is just a shame that fanboyism is never going to go away since both consoles will continue to do well.

Also I'll say that atleast Microsoft know what makes a good online gaming experience and Sony know how to make a media machine more interesting. Since having my Sony Bravia 2 engine tv I'm loving blu-ray :)

Wow this must of took hours and hours. Props to you making a wall bigger than mine haha.

1st off I've been gaming for well over a score. The Dreamcast (IMO) was the 1st to start with this "Next Gen" Era. High rez textures were unheard of during that era (The Expansion pak for the N64 tried but failed). The ONLY reason the Dreamcast failed so fast was because EA stated publicly that they will not support the system. During that time EA owned a huge part of the market.

Now about the graphics. The EE (Emotion Engine) was very difficult to code for because of it's heavy use of vector coding.

The xbox was basically a custom P4 chip which was new at the time. I'm not going into detail with tech, but the xbox and the dreamcast had build in anti-aliasing. where the PS2 did not. However coding "tricks" helped minimize the aliasing effect. This IMO was the only true down fall of the EE. other than that is was a powerful chipset. Why the life of me did microsoft made their own GPU is beyond me. You get so many RROD because of it on the X360.

Online gaming:
Sega was the 1st to bring in a unified online system to every Dreamcast console. People seem to forget that with all the xboxlive hoopla and it was free.Sega offered Seganet. Which was a paid service to reduce ping from the dedicated servers. So basically microsoft took the design of the Dreamcast controller (triggers anyone?) Took Sega's online gaming model and charge the hell out of ya. Though most of the refinement you see in xboxlive is because of Bungie. Why Bungie left microsoft has never been answered.

Ah history, It's there to learn and grow from it. It seems to me that Sony has learned and advanced, microsoft buys people off and take other companies ideas and run away with them (argue all you want but PSN is FREE!) and Nintendo? Well Hell Nintendo seems to be going backwards.Instead of pushing buttons your swinging sticks, so easy a caveman can do it!

Okay, let me point out a few flaws in your reasoning.

You did very well pointing out the role reversals of Sony and MS this generation. But, you missed one crucial difference. You noted that when the original Xbox came out it was the more powerful system, but "unfortuently released too late to use that potential as the next gen of consoles were not far off." Sony didn't make this mistake. They only released a year later. The next generation of consoles is still quite a ways off (unless MS truly does admit that they'll need to release a new console to keep up). With titles like Killzone 2, the difference in the consoles is going to be apparent, and it's going to be bad news for MS.

I won't go on further with the whole Killzone 2 thing. The proof is in the pudding. And the pudding drops in less than a month. I will point out that it isn't Sony that is "over-hyping" this game. It's reviewers and beta testers...the regular people who have actually played it and have nothing to gain from singing it's praises.

"Now one other thing I want to point out is that people have this idea that the PS3 is going to come out with these mind blowingly better looking games than the 360 and I hate to burst a bubble but this isn't going to be as big of a deal as it's made out to be."

Again, I'm gonna leave that argument for February 27.

"The only games that will have a huge significant difference will be made by Sony themselves as developers prefer using the xbox 360."

Correction, developers USED TO prefer the 360. But, as they reach the 360's limits, they want more. And, it's okay for now if the only games that show a huge difference are made by Sony. Sony has stellar developers. Third party devs aren't going to sit around for long and just let Sony widen the gap. That would be bad for business. They're going to want to keep up. That's either going to mean A)bad 360 ports of games developed with the PS3 in mind, B) a resurgance of 3rd party exclusives for the PS3, or C) a new Microsoft console.

The bottom line is this: Something has to give. Starting next month, people's eyes are going to be openned. With a better machine, and great 1st party developers, Sony has the potential to run away with this game. Developers see that. Microsoft sees that. Nobody is about to let this money pass them by and let it all go to Sony.

Look, I'm not a fanboy. But, I AM a fan of business. And I've enjoyed the way this console war has been playing out from a business standpoint. I LOVED the fact that Sony decided to put themselves at a disadvantage (with the higher price tag and blu-ray) just for the gambit. I thought that was genius. It was a good tactic then. It's a great tactic now.

This is classic tortoise and the hare stuff. Sony is playing chess. MS is playing checkers. BUT, I think Sony underestimated how simple the average consumer is. In a case like that, checkers could pay off (look at the Wii). And, if this race were to be over in 2010, I think MS could probably pull off the win. But there is just way too much time, and way too little for the 360 to offer the consumer. They're simply out of gas. They're running on momentum alone.

Momentum runs out.

The longest post in the history of PSXextreme lol...I am not going to read all that, that's way too serious....but here it is.......

The PS2 had competitors release BEFORE AND AFTER.....unlike in this gen, there is only one that released before.....

The concept behind the PS2 is clearly the same as the PS3 today. A powerful system built on longevity. The more time passed, the more it was clear the system was superior. See the trend in today's world?

D-cast and xbot systems were all built with the power accessible from day 1. There is no real improvement as time passed. This made the user base with nothing to play after 3 or 4 years (D-cast abandoned, xbox1 abandoned). A new system would have to be released for them to repeat the cycle of building another user base by selling a new hardware. Meanwhile the Sony product maintains its user base growing and growing while the software got better and better. THATS how you sell 150 Million units, my friend. Microsoft has it all wrong.

Keep judging a Sony system in year 1-2 and continue to surprise yourself. You can even see this trend back in the N64, PS1 days.

Here it goes.

This all looks very familiar. As the owner of a PS2 (got it as a kid back when I was with Sony..) and recently a original Xbox I will tell you that their is no PS2 title that looks close to a Xbox Exclusive. Its not fanboyism its fact. The hardware was 2 worlds apart. Nothing released for the PS2 exclusively would look better it if also launched on the Xbox. See the big difference last gen is that people could see the difference without side by side play. When I play Halo 2 I see the difference, when I put in Forza I see the difference, when I put in Ninja Gaiden Black I see the difference, When I put in any GTA I see the difference. The difference is in the hardware(is that an echo?).

Now lets also take into affect the launch dates? The 360 had a year headstart (not a 2 year like the PS2) and had the larger library when the PS3 launched(where have I seen this b4?). Most people back then already had a PS1 so when the 2 came out they just got that. The Xbox dident have that advantage(hmm). Most people had the 360 already when the PS3 launched (sound familiar?). So because of this the PS2 had a headstart even tho it had some issues their where still more of them(say what!?). The difference is the Xbox versions looked instantly better then the PS2 titles, the PS3 versions looked worse.

But of course that dident matter in the end. Not enough people cared that the Xbox had better hardware because to them it was all about the games(WOW). And because of that the PS2 held the lead and was ahead of the Xbox(again?)..But in the end noone cared and now we have a whole new generation with all fresh starts(what will happen).

I guess they named it 360 for a reason huh? Because more or less they have switched. But the thing is me like all them PS2 heads dont really care if a game looks a lil better on the PS3. Hell after what you guys paid and the year after launch I would be PISSED that EVERY title doesn't blow the Xbox version out the water. But oh well you guys have at it, im gunna go now and turn on Halo 3 or Gears 2.

First: They call it the 360 because there are 360 degrees in the red ring of death. :D

Wait...no, no...they call it the 360 because you have to buy 360 of them before you get one that works! :D

Sorry, mate. You set yourself up for that one.

Second: What does it matter what you paid? YOU'RE the one that brought price into the argument. I paid $600 for my launch PS3. Worth every penny. So, what DID you pay for your 360? Let's say $400 at launch? How much have you paid for Xbox live since then? Are we close to $600 yet? How big is your hard drive? How do you like HD movies? Honestly...how long can 360 purists keep saying that they'll wait and just use download services instead of blu-ray? Please, show me a single netflix download that equals a blu-ray from netflix in picture quality, sound quality, or convenience. Dude, this particular argument is too easy.

Third: The main difference in this console war as compared to PS2 vs. Xbox is time. There is far to much time left in this race. As far as graphical capability, and quality of games, PS3 is on the incline. You can't argue with that. The 360 has plateaued. This early in the race, that's just not good enough.

Now, who got the most out of their 600 bucks? How would you feel about buying a new MS console in 2010...or even 2011?

360 is done? Are you kidding recent releases from Sony state sales have dropped 9 percent from last year.

And you can enjoy bluray movies on your PS3. But I bought a game console. I bought it to play games. I like the online service and im fine with 50 bucks a year. I mean honestly you guys are stretching lol. I get a better online service for practically nothing.

Also about the 360 name. Have you heard all the funny nicknames for the PS3 lately? I prefer BS3 the most tho. It sums it up quite nicely.

I said the 360 has plateued. I stand by that. As far as visual quality, physics, etc., the 360 has plateued. Because developers were able to get everything they could squeeze out of it from day 1. Someone has already stated that there isn't a huge leap from Gears 1 to Gears 2. You won't see any significant changes in quality for the 360 from here on out.

Sales? I could care less. My concern is MY purchase and whether I got the most for my money. I clearly did. Sony's profit margin or whatever has no bearing on how much I enjoy a game. By the way, there's a global recession. Everybody is losing money and cutting jobs. You're bringing up facts that have nothing to do with the issue at hand. Who's stretching.

You bought a gaming console? Cool. So did I. Mine has great games. Great exclusives. Pound for pound, if you stack up the exclusives from last year, PS3 has the better games (okay, arguably). Even if it's close, even if the 360 has better games it's not by far. So, we've BOTH got a gaming console. Oh, but mine plays blu-ray movies as well.

How can you possibly try to use blu-ray or the many multimedia capabilities of the PS3 as a negative? As if they somehow take away from the gaming? That's crazy! If adding in a blu-ray drive or photo gallery somehow diminished my games, or they had to make the games simpler so the PS3 could have all the extra bells and whistles, you would have a case. As it stands, you don't. Try again.

Honestly I attack bluray because its all I hear when it comes down to being backed against the wall.

I can do everything I need to gameingwise without it. Many people still buy DVDs to watch on their PS3 just because I think its to expensive. I can get 3 to 4 new titles for one bluray film. Wheres the value in that?

Also sales should matter to you more then you think. The more sales a console has the more support it gets. No smart business is going to work first on a harder to program machine with a smaller install base.

Uh-oh, Josh. Like your treasured 360, you're running out of steam.

You attack blu-ray because PS3 owners harp on it? It's a FANTASTIC feature! That's why you hear so much about it. Blu-ray movies too expensive? I just got Enter the Dragon for 15 bucks. Got Casino Royale, A Knights Tale, and Layer Cake from Amazon for $35. Actually, $10 because I had a $25 coupon code. And after watching movies on blu-ray, I'm sure I will never never ever buy another dvd movie. Just like I'm sure I'll never buy another PS2 game. If I can't afford it on blu-ray, I'll wait for the price to come down.

You can do everything I can do gamingwise? Can you play Killzone 2? (Yes, I know, technically I can't either, but that's beside the point.) Can you play MGS4? Can you play anything close either title as far as game quality? Honestly? And it's only January. You've got a long year ahead of you.

Sales should matter? No smart business is going to work first on a harder to program machine with a smaller install base?

Video game developers are artists, my friend. They want to develop the BEST game they can. Sure, they'll put out a few multi-plat games to pay the rent and satisfy the suits. But, when they want to develop that next AMAZING title...where will they go? So, yes, all the money makers will be on BOTH machines. The works of ART...you know where they will be. Evidence: MGS4.

Being a fan of Halo I cant play that on the PS3, being a Gears fan I cant play on PS3, being a Forza fan I cant play that on PS3, being more people are on live I enjoy COD better.

Being I love GTA I can enjoy the new DLC episodes coming out this year. I can enjoy the new COD coming. I can enjoy the 2 new Halo titles coming out also. Also Forza 3 may make an appearance.

Gears? Pales in comparison to KZ2.

GTA4 DLC? Just like Microsoft to drag something on and on, when it should have been over long ago. Again, will you have to actually pay for that?

Forza? Didn't that come out in 2007? EARLY 2007?

COD4? Again pales in comparison to KZ2.

COD W@W? Pales in comparison to COD4! :D

2 new Halo titles? You mean one Halo expansion pack, and one RTS BASED on Halo.

Yeah...errr...you keep on enjoying those games, buddy. Give me a call if the 360 actually gets something NEW this year.

When BigZombieMonkey argues the 360's case, HE makes sense. Do you Josh? Hell F'in no.

You say PS3 owners always bank on Blu-ray...Well how often do 360 owners fall back on Halo 3 and Gears 2? Graphically, they can't compete with games like MGS4 and Uncharted.

And you still haven't argued the pricing point that Alienange and Troy have brought up. Why not? Maybe subconsciously you know that you probably paid more than the $600 launch price of the PS3, what with all the extra peripherals you had to invest in.

If you are gonna argue, atleast take the time to answer some questions that others present to you.

BTW, IMO, Gears 2 was super fun, just as fun as R2. But it wasn't EPIC (pun intended). I haven't played Halo 3 so I can't judge that one.

What will make the PS3 the victor is its staying power. The 360 was built to last only a few years, and the PS3 should last a almost a decade. When the M$ has to unveil a new console, the state of the economy will hinder its sales.

Whats truly inspiring is that the PS3 is managing to sell just as well as the 360 during the same time period (I know, I know, the 360 has the lead. But ONLY because of its year head start and the arcade sales). And the PS3 did that inspite of the economy, and inspite of the high price, and inspite having less games at launch. Hell, it even endured media bashing!

If the roles got switched and M$ wanted to show this in the name...that would be a 180 degree turn, not a 360. They called it the 360 because they stole the codename for the Wii (the revolution).

Thank you for proving a point I made in another post.....

"That is precisely what makes my blood boil more than anything in gaming. The entire American population has been hypnotized through Microsoft commercials to think that the 360 has sooo many great games. In reality, if you ask a 360 fanboy what games they are refering to, they usually only say "Halo and Gears of War, Gears of War and Halo, Halo and Gears of war...then they sprinkle in a mid-level game or two and go right back to repeating Halo and Gears of War, Gears of War and Halo"

It makes my blood boil even harder when a PS3 owner agrees that the 360 has sooo many crazy good games..."I can't name which ones are good, but I guess they just are""

i have played crysis(what a game)on very high settings(mates pc) & i am certain that killzone2 at the very least equals the visuals i experienced playing crtek's gem(from watching hd gameplay vids of kz2).That said,the facial animations on mgs4 were better than crysis,shit!heavenly sword had better facial animations(not sure if heavenly sword's cut scenes were real time or pre rendered)
Anyway's here's hoping for a ps3 version of crysis,maximum armor!
maximum strength!
PS. any news on Wardevil? i hear that its the first true game in development to use 1080p,GT5 aswell!
PPS.correct me if i am wrong but i think that 720p & 1080i are basically the same,that some countrys ie. mainland europe use 1080i for hd tv,while england uses 720p.

Generally the graphics of Heavenly Sword are very good... how ever the shadow casting distortions plague it... look at the shadows that fall across the faces and clothes... block smudges, sometimes they tear... doesn't look good. Quite a few games this gen suffer from this...

Keep an eye out for blocky shadow casting in KZ2... YES!!! unfortunately it exists there too... as I saw it clearly whilst in the BETA... If your character passes across a Helgast spot light... you see your shadow cast across the wall... and the outline is blocky... unfortunately... limitation of the RSX to some degree... and the immense processing power you would need to create "real-time" shadow casting maps 1x1 pixel in size... just to much overhead for the processor and therefore developers try to take short cuts.

Eventhough MGS4 has the best cut scenes I have ever scene (possibly to be surpassed by Final Fantasy...) the shadow casting problem can be evident in some cases...

Luckily for me, I'm not a graphics houd to that degree.

Hey, I'm a poet and I didn't even know it.

That wouldn't take away from my enjoyment of either game. I never noticed it in Heavenly Sword. Definitely never noticed it in the KZ2 beta (though I did notice blood magically disappearing and reappearing on walls). Quite honestly, I'd be to busy playing the game to see something like that. But, I suppose it would be an issue for some.

If all games were equal then we could argue about who's graphics are best. I want a good gaming experience with some graphical icing on top...

I REALLY wish we could see the full power from the start and play numerous games with that "full power" before the end of a console's life.MS wouldn't be sittin' around they will proly be gearin' up 720.

Ah this is good news for PS3 owners. Developers need to start making multi platform games for the PS3 and fill a blu-ray, downgrade the graphics and put the game on multiple DVD's for the xbox otherwise we will still be getting games that are restricted to the xboxs limitations and if that happens you cant move things forward as MS's system is already out of juice and can give no more. So come on developers make games that are fully realised, fresh, your free! run in the green fields hand in hand with your ideas and put them to work, choose creative freedom, choose the "Playstation 3"......

True. So true. Developers choose money.

So, what happens when the MONEY chooses BETTER GAMES?

What happens when money chooses Killzone 2? Think about it. A great game in all aspects. A game that very likely could not be developed for the 360. What happens when games of this quality are STANDARD instead of STAND-OUT for the PS3?

That's where the money goes, right?

So, if you're a developer and you KNOW you could do just as well or better if you developed your next project exclusively for the PS3...when you WANT to step up to the plate...what do you do? Do you continue developing multi-platform games for the total user-base? Do you continue to let that gap widen?

Josh, I don't think it will happen right away. But, I believe as the gap in game quality widens the money will go to where the best games are. You must admit that. If at the end of 2009, PS3 titles are SIGNIFICANTLY better than 360 titles...if KZ2 is the STANDARD instead of the STAND-OUT, you will buy yourself a PS3, and begin spending your money on the better games. If you say that's not true...if you say that you won't spend your money on a significantly better product, then you're just foolish.

But...then again...you DID buy an Xbox 360.

Since you paid equal to or more than the $600 PS3, does it hurt to know your investment will be short lived? Now $600 for a 10 year+ console is worth it to me. $600 for a 4-5 year console is terrible. How does it feel to know your system of choice is already looking to be fazed out?

Oh and how much Acclaim did Halo receive? I remember hearing alot of journalist and gamers saying it was fun, but failed to live up to the hype and/or the first 2 were better. How many people do you hear bag on KZ2?

Late to the party as usual...

Current games like Heavenly Sword, Uncharted, MGS4, and Little Big Planet show graphical capabilities that I have yet to see on any other console. As you can tell, these are 1st/2nd party efforts. Third party developers need to step up to the palte and to make a PS3 game to the best of their abilities and then port to the 360. Maybe this is the case with games such as Valkyrie Chronicles since it's a PS3 exclusive. But someone like EA needs to go further. When the take a well known franchise such as Madden and optimize the game for the PS3 and then port to the 360, I suspect the masses will see a noticable difference. The quality of PS3 development should not be hindered by 360 development. Thankfully, more and more multi-platform titles are grapgically on par. 3rd party developers need to exploit the PS3 more.

For those who diss 360 because of DVD. As far as I can see, you're stating your own opinion about which you think is better and which is worth more. Which is fine, but you shouldn't stomp on everyone else's because you feel that its being attacked. Think about it, you're on Xbox live. With people who pay to play (and others like yourself). Those of us who feel it meets our gaming console criteria, feel more strongly about the console than others. Thats why they make more than just one kind. For competition and to branch out to those who aren't into one kind, they may like the other. I'm not saying that PS3 in inferior. It's just not a gaming console in my opinion. It is made for someone who loves media in general. It touches basis on many things but doesn't pick one area to excel in... unless someone brings up Blu-Ray. Which seems to be everyone's flipping arguement when trying to prove its a better console than any of the others. One can NOT state which is better do to everyone's choice being different. We only have are opinions. Some will agree and others will not but in the end, it only matters what you believe and how you want to spend your money.

For such an intelligent young man... sometimes JoshuaAdam360... Really!

It is a games console, and a blu ray player, and my Linux computer, and my photo digital display system, and my music juke box... that is the wonders of the Ps3... it hasn't been fully realised yet... all is coming... even though it will take time... its a great advantage to do all this on one piece of hardware...

BBBUUUTTT, I enjoy it most for the games... and will enjoy it more as the exclusives start to kick butt... remember my earlier post... if you deny what the Ps3 can really do, especially after this year is out... you are simply living a lie... now that is not nice is it!

It's not a gaming console?

Dude, you're really reaching. I won't even list all the stellar titles PS3 has, because you already know what they are.

It doesn't excel in any one category? You're right. I excels in ALL of them.

I played GTA4 online with a friend of mine last night...

Wait...

Let me start over...

A friend of mine started a video chat with me last night to invite me to a few rounds of GTA4. I told him I missed his earlier invites because my daughter had been watching divx episodes of the Powerpuff Girls on the PS3 (from the terabyte hard drive I have connected to it), but I'd be happy to get a few kills in. After an hour or so of GTA4, I told him I'd catch him tomorrow, chilled out on the couch, and watched Layer Cake on blu-ray (excellent British gangster flick starring Daniel Craig, if you haven't seen it).

No, my PS3 didn't excel in any of those tasks. It excelled in ALL of them.

Yes, I like games with EVERYTHING else the PS3 can do. That's just called being an educated consumer. If I'm going to make a purchase, I'm going to get the most out of every single dollar. As titles for the PS3 get better, and as its capabilities grow, my initial $600 investment gets better and better. I don't think 360 owners can say the same. I really don't.

We can both watch movies.
Mine are blu-ray, hi-def, dolby x.x sound. Yours are not.
We can both listen to our own music in game.
We can both get messages while playing.
You can stream netflix movies, I cannot.
I can watch netflix blu-rays. You cannot.

So far, the difference are:
You can look forward to even MORE GTA4. You can watch streaming quality movies via netflix streaming service.
I can watch blu-ray quality movies via netflix by mail.

If that is the total of the difference, and you think you got the better deal, then we are both happy campers, my friend.

In other words ill enjoy the better exclusive gameplay while you enjoy the better movie visuals that I could get by buying my own standalone player..

Sounds good to me.

If exclusive gameplay means an add-on for a game that will soon be a year old, you can have it. FURTHER evidence that the 360 has plataued. "Hey, we can't offer you anything new and revolutionary, but we can take what you've already got and add a few levels and missions to it."

Do you have to pay for that?

I'll take a great new game over more GTA4 any day.

Actually, you didn't answer my question. I asked what NEW games you're looking forward to. So far, all you've given me is an expansion pack, an RTS based on an old game, and some DLC.

So, my question remains. What NEW games are you looking forward to, Josh.

I mean, even if I give you Halo Wars...it's an RTS. Admit it. You're just looking forward to it because it says Halo on the box. And trust me, that's what MS is banking on. They're going to ride that Halo horse into the ground...and then drag in a few miles.

I've got an idea. Let's go exclusive for exclusive. I name one for my system, then you name a better one for your system, then I name a better one for my system, etc. Let's see who runs out first. I mean, it's all about the games, right? We both bought GAMING systems. Right? But, keep in mind, each game listed has to be BETTER than the game before it.

The reason we go on about blu-ray is simple. How much data can a DVD hold, 8.5Gb, hmmm not alot.
Now, how much can a Blu-Ray hold, 50Gb, soon to be a massive 400Gb. I know that most games will never come close to using that amount of space but unless your using multiple DVDs the xbox cannot compete with this. And as games become more and more complicated an 8.Gb DVD is just not gonna cut it.

PS i just noticed that my original post had little to do with the article from the 360 side,i have a modded xbox1 which i'd run into a burning building for but i can't say the same for my 360.
i think theres a little juice left in them yet but i feel mutiplat games are suffering because of the hardware choices MS made.The games themselves are awesome(Dead rising made me a happy camper)
i'd scratch my own eyes out before i'd pay MS EXTRA money to play online games.

Actually 1080i has greater detail than 720p. However when there is heavy motion in a 1080i that is where you get the interlacing issue. The image has a hard time staying complete. Killzone 2 has native 720p/1080i (for T.Vs that can't scale 720p). You can force the PS3 to only scale the 1080i into 1080p instead of the 720p.

Josh, just stop. You're getting completely reamed on a subject that isn't even that closely related to the article at hand. I don't even know what half of your rambling is trying to prove.

So as of now, no more posts from you in this topic. You just can't help yourself...I think I'm going to have to limit you to benign topics that don't include anything involving the 360, because you really just can't handle it.

And I'm asking you to change your avatar and name. It's just not going to fly here, and I can't stop a thousand people from making assumptions based on them. Just change them.

Everything 360 related is a bashfest for PS3 fanboys.

Honestly I respect you. But if your going to hold my hand back because of my own opinions then ill leave myself.

I have every single PS their is besides a PS3. I am hardly the most biased around these parts. To say otherwise is hardly close to the reality of it. So I have to change my personal favorite console? But others can have "X360 is for pussies"? Right ben..

YOU know as well as I do that the ONLY reason people are attacking you is because of your avatar and name. Change them, and you won't get such a bad reception all the time. Just do it.

Secondly, I have warned people like wasim many times before. I just edited a particularly hostile post from a member directed towards you. I don't think you see half of what I DO edit. Lastly, and I repeat- you started a console war here without really addressing the article at hand. I don't know why, despite everything you say about no ignorance or bias, I see a LOT of misinformation in your posts that desperately try to support YOUR support of the 360.

For the record, I don't have a problem with debate. I encourage it, as most of you well know. If I had a problem with Josh and Troy's argument, I would've removed/edited the posts and issued warnings. The only reason I singled Josh out is because he didn't seem to address the topic and instantly tried to write something that would defend the 360.

And the reason I'm asking Josh to change the avatar and name is a simple one: it's the environment. From my standpoint, I absolutely cannot handle every last PlayStation fan immediately freaking out because of the avatar. I KNOW it's retarded and I'm sorry for that, but this is a site for PLAYSTATION FANS.

You're not asked to change the avatar and name because of anything besides the fact that it would make my life a whole lot easier. Okay?

It gives PS fanboys, and any normal people who read one of your biased posts (their not all biased BTW) a reason to attack you.

In all fairness Josh I do like my xbox a hell of alot and still use it more than my PS3 but seeing fanboyism on such a large scale makes me thankful for the party feature on xbox live so i don't have to listen to people like you when I play.

You may make valid points but trying to play down the PS3 being a more powerful machine with alot more potential won't work.

My only argument with some of the things said in here was the whole history repeating itself and people talking like the difference between a PS3 and an xbox 360 is going to be like comparing commodore 64 to a PS2....

The bottom line is the PS3 is a better machine, it just needs the type of titles that the 360 has. A game like gears of war on the PS3 would be nice and I truely hope Killzone 2 will be as good as people say it will because atm the only game that seems to make my PS3 fun gaming wise is LBP and Drakes Fortune (I'm not a fan of MGS series since MGS1, far too much story drowns out and overplays the gameplay imo). If Killzone 2 is good then I'll probably play that more than Halo 3 in all honesty because Halo 3 got old real fast as it wasn't that much of an improvment as I was hoping it would be.

I don't get why people care so much one way or another, they are both great consoles, I just wish Sony hadn't spent so much time on Home and had spent that time on a decent game since Home is terrible.

This current version of the xbox is a joke, the first incarnation was a work of genius when it was released but the 360 is an insult it has a 33% failure rate runs on DVD's for gods sake not even my Nan works on them anymore. It was rushed out of Microsoft towers with all faults known to them but they wanted to grab the market away from Sony so they released it anyway. Microsoft are the biggest richest company in the world and could have created something spectacular instead they took a dump in a paper bag set fire to it placed it on my door step then charged me for the privilege. For those people who cant afford a PS3 ..... SAVE UP FOR ONE!

Its ok to disagree, as long as substantial evidence against your clain is heeded. 95% of the time even if the evidence is stacked up against you, you deny all accountability of the said information.

If you're wrong, you're wrong. There is only so far an opinion can go before the otherside delivers a knockout blow. And most the time, you are the lone fighter against all of PSXEXTREME...there is no way you can win, which brings me to this point:

Why the hell are you here? You often said you like hearing about ALL news, but why do you have to comment on PS3 news? I read about 360 news, but I prefer not to comment because I know many will jump down my throat.

Hi people! Thanks to all for welcome me before.

PS3's principal advantage over x360 is CELL's capability to do fast real time 3D rendering, ray tracing, i.e., to work like a graphic card. So you can use CELL as a parallel processor (which needs in turn a fine parallel coding) to do physics, collision detection , AI, etc and at the same time it can works as an extension of the graphic card. That is amazing.

X360 on the other hand uses a more traditional and accessible (PC-like) arch so it is as powerful as its graphic card is. Probably a better coding on X360 multi threading 3-core cpu can improve AI, collisions and physics to certain extent but, most probably, Gears2 is the pinnacle of MS console graphical power.

In the end, PS3 got a very extensible arch, and coders will always find a new way, to fine tuning, to recode some parts of their engines in order to squeeze more power from it. The whole PS3 arch is a winner.

See you!

Ray tracing in real time is currently impossible on all consumer hardware available. It's surely possible on a supercomputer, and it doesn't hurt to dream, but it's a ways off:)

Now I believe that it will on its exclusives to a small percentage. the CPU in the 360 is very powerful and is capable of great lighting affects and textures.

Now seeing that the Cell is realized and perfected this COULD change BUT how long is going to matter? Enough to turn the tides we may never know. The thing is that as time goes by better and superior hardware will emerge. Is the cell in the PS3 powerful enough to compete with evergrowing technology? Well I guess we shall see.

If this is all you had to say, here's my question and my problem- why, WHY did you go off on a complete 360 defense stance when it was completely unnecessary?

I think your avatar and name gets into your head, and you just think you have to do this all the time, even when it's irrelevant. THAT'S my problem. I'm not saying you're not allowed to talk about the 360; I'm not even saying you're not allowed to support it. I'm saying it's not a good idea to go off on supporting tangents (Blu-Ray, online, wtf does THAT have to do with this article?) just to start arguments. Right?

Also lots of people enjoy their PS3 and you need to respect that i've read u're posts and i don't see respect you alway attack someone who isnt' even talking to you just making a comment.

I think if you were SLIGHTLY more open to the PS3's qualities, you wouldn't catch so much flak. No doubt the PS3 fanboys that pop up here are way WAY worse than you, but the thing is: We Ignore Them.

I like my outlandish and to the point comments.

When you guys see a blog stating something against the 360 I KNOW someone has to be thinking "man Josh is gunna flip haha".

I look forward to your guys point of view that way to. I also look forward to how you respond to my views.

To water me down would be just that. Less.

Josh just get a ps3 and you will see why people say what they say.
I loved my xbox360 "ELITE" till it crapped out three time's.Three strikes your out.
Hopefully the price for the ps3 will come down to $299.00 so you could get one.

If I do get one thats when I will fully respect Sony for fixing its flaws. If I get one it will be because I know its THAT good. Not because I like Sony. Because to turn into a believer you need those promises realized.

Honestly this year holds alot on their shoulders. Im looking forward to it honestly.

'sigh' Let me just say that I know of no human who will call the 360 - or any machine that has only been out a few years - their "favorite gaming console ever." Not anyone who has been gaming for any length of time, anyway. The 360 simply does NOT have enough great games to compare against the best systems in history yet. Not even CLOSE.

So sorry, I just don't understand the sentiment.

Greetings everyone,
Whats really important here is when the PS devs can finally understand the "exotic" hardware in the PS3. All the games to come out are going to look gorgeous but they could look so much better if it was pushed to its limits. Everyone will be more than satisfied with the final builds of the titles to come out (hopefully) but I want to see absolutely -everything- graphicly the PS3 can handle. In time we shall see.

Wow we got derailed didn't we! So since this world ends with me I'll put in my 2 cents: Ben I say we find a way to keep Josh on, not because he is amusing like a monkey at a typewriter but because in a relatively short time when Halo and Gears get old and his system has died for the 5th time and all the best games everyone is talking about are on PS3 he will be forced to get one, he will listen as he powers up the system and hears...nothing! And his words will be eaten without him even knowing it as he talks about all the games we've been talking about.

Back on topic: The point stands, since 360 is basically a PC as xbox1 was (Yeah I have one of the those old dandies and it's a decent machine that I hacked like a dead body) it's maxed and done rather quickly. While M$ could still make nice games on it they have practically nothing for game studios and still have to drag down the industry with subpar multiplats (compared to exclusives)and stolen exclusives that could have been better on a single system.

Now, Sony machines past have all started slow as far as game performance and then later on exploded. Ben has said it before, look at PS2 launch titles versus God of War II. You can't bust your wad all at once or it's over, nuff said.

Its all a conspiracy like I said awhile ago. Josh is only here to increase comments. I mean the little turd admitted a few posts up that he thrives on our attention, in more or less words.

I'm bout to go X-Files on Ben and Arnold and investigate why they are keeping the pain in the ass named Josh on here.

Could it be? Is Ben really Josh??? Or his partner in crime Arnold? Hmm...My spidey sense is tingling...

Well I just read every comment on here and I have to say that Troy owned Josh this whole time. Troy admit it, that is why you were being nice towards the end, because you knew that you had won this argument a long time ago hands down. Josh, I would probably miss you a bit if you were gone, but you got to calm down on the attention whoring! If you truly cared about ps3 news, you would be on here commenting with the rest of us on all articles, not just the ones you can spin into anti 360 ones.

What makes my blood form a volcano, is to think that because the PS3 has more of a mature crowd, it suffers because of it. This crowd seems to take the "why should I ever advertise for Sony" approach while 360 fans basically forgive having to send their systems back to Microsoft 6 times (while still offering only Halo and Gears of War which are both similar and played out). They ignore the largest failure rate in consumer electronics history as if it's no big deal and they advertise that system like it's the second coming while take every opportunity to bash the PS3. They have the entire Gamestop corporation bashing the PS3 in favor of the 360, for christ-sakes! As if having the support of every high school teen in America wasn't enough?

Is it because we want to favor American products over Japanese products? Or is it a widespread conspiracy that I'm unaware about? I had the 360, that system was a joke and I can't stand what is going on.

It does seem like the 360 is reaching it's limits. Gears of war 2 was great, but not much of a leap ahead of the first one. Resistance 2 looks a whole lot better than R:FoM.

I am really tired after reading all those comments.

Not bashing although I think you sometime to go the extremes(yes, PSExtremes),......but just wondering here.....

How do you find soooo much time & fun to play the 360 you clearly cherish so much, if most of your time(it seems)is spent here.

And how do you find any extra time to even visit your own 360 sites???(sh*t, it takee me a couple hours just to read through all the daily article & comments here, and that's WITHOUT even replying to anyone).

Hell, I damned sure know that I'd rather be playing whatever console I loved(I spend about 30 late-night hours weekly on at least 1 of my 9 systems.

The reason we go on about blu-ray is simple. How much data can a DVD hold, 8.5Gb, hmmm not alot.
Now, how much can a Blu-Ray hold, 50Gb, soon to be a massive 400Gb. I know that most games will never come close to using that amount of space but unless your using multiple DVDs the xbox cannot compete with this. And as games become more and more complicated an 8.Gb DVD is just not gonna cut it.

When mainstream games need that much data your point will be more valid.

But with most titles only needing it and the faster load times and better frame rates of the DVD I dont see it happening yet.

Friday, January 30, 2009 @ 9:31:22 AM

I know what you mean, I cant imagine games comin close to using that much space anytime soon. But games are becoming more complex with graphics and thus requiring more space. Developers are already struggling to fit games onto a single DVD. With blu-ray this isnt a problem, except MGS4 which had to be cut down. Plus the advantage of un-compressed audio. And what do you think MS will use in their next console? Sure as hell wont be a DVD drive.

If anything MS will not have a Drive at all and simply use digital media. Because its that or BLUray as games become more complex and knowing MS's stance they will most likely not use that route.

Its really all speculation at the moment. But im willing to go with Digital media.

I think MS was smart to go DVD this gen. As costs are more productive and Bluray is still fighting to break the mainstream.

Having only digital media for games would alienate the people without an internt connection since they wouldn't be able to download the games, something microsoft would definetley NOT do.

They did say that the future of media was downloadable digital media but when your forced to use MS's HDD in their systems its no surprise they would go down that route.
