article published on 15 July, 2008
The PS3 is gaining ground on the Xbox 360. Through last year Microsoft's console outsold Sony's. With a year's head start in sales, a lower price, and the success of Xbox Live there were many reasons to pick the Xbox 360 over the PS3. That's changed this year, with sales figures through May making the PS3 the number two seller of 2008, still trailing the Nintendo Wii.
The PS3 has had ... [ read the full article ]

Not really a waste to get a ps3. FF13 will most likely be a 3 or 4 disc set on Xbox and/or have poorer graphical presentation. Because 360 still only uses standard DVD's. the PS3 version of FF13 will all fit on one disc and obviously look much better. since BD discs hold 6 times more data than standard DVD's.
That allows devs to pack much nicer looking, more detailed games on the PS3's versions.
what? how come using 3 or 4 DVD in xbox 360 will make it have poor graphic?
hardware-wise xbox360 have faster graphic chip, so it can deliver betther graphic.
some PC games packed in multiple disc and the graphic is as good as single disc.
i really dont understand, what the connection between using multiple disc Vs single BR Disc in Graphic Quality.
btw xbox 360 Fall 2008 update will have "option to install game to HDD, fully". so those who have no patients waiting for a few secs loading, can install their game and have no loading.

I dunno everything I read says the PS3 has the better graphics but lesser ability to handle sheer data, the 360 is hampered by data space, also the 360 can't use multi discs since most of its more popular games offer multi player and MS wont let devs use multi discs.
If MS gets BR games the difference in over all qaulity will be less noticeable, the PS3 has almost twice as much power hidden in ti but ti will take years to get the optimizations worked out to where there is a huge difference in games by then if MS has BR games then MS will break even with the PS3 to the point the only difference is a couple games and the HDD issue.

hmm,
why MS disallow multidisc for multiplayer?
game dev can make game in 2 DVD type.
Singeplayer disc (it can have multiple dvd).
Multiplayer Disc (only have 1 dvd).
fitting multiplayer maps/games in 1 dvd wont be a problem. because there wont be any HD Video/FMV and a lot less voice files.
create it like CoD2 PC, or CoD4 PC.
its basically have 2 different .EXE for SP and MP
the SP have its own data files
the MP also have its own data files.
i already deleted all my CoD2 Singelpayer files on my HDD. so it only can play multiplay but i get more free-space :D

Thats not true, when you design a game and the game engine, it all relatively Stays the same graphics, sound, and options, Xbox360 more than likely will have Multiple discs, Maybe 3 at the most.
But everything else stays the same. DVD-18 is still a relatively large format for the old dvd technology.

Yeah, you can stream to and from it, and yes you can access the Harddrive, the catch is they only want you to stream with certified devices. And access to the hard drive is somewhat restricting.
the only thing stopping people from doing it, is there accounts being banned, also possible to get around that.
it takes work but its possible.
yes you use your psp at a hotspot thats the only device you can use to access the hard drive as of yet how cool would it be to have remoteplay on a walkman phone

hmm..been a year and a half and i still didnt get my next gen console...i dont really care about the graphics that much..so ive been thinking of buying a Wii cuz it doesnt cost too much and has a very nice line of games overall and its hacked so i dun have to pay the too-high prices..and the same goes for 360 only because of the fact i can fry eggs on it and what ive been hearing about the tiny warranty period that pretty much stopped me there..and then theres the PS3..blueray-not a big wow..games lineup that can you can simply pick up and play without dying 50 times before you get the drill-not too many (kill me,i hate shooter games except maybe metroid UT and halo).
and for all this godam long no1'd been able to hack it and even if they do id have to get a BD burner to use that fact..so like most people currently around the world (as the data shows) im leaning towards a Wii..my only doubt is how long it will last before it'll start collecting dust like my old gamecube is..

gaming has moved on you can play online with your freinds if not you can invite them over end play split screen halo online witch is alot of fun and the games are like 25 gigabites upwards it would take a mamoth broadband connection to download it in any reasonable length of time its not going to happen like the psp maby a few homebrew apps for the ps3 but noting more than that

No. Every 360 is prone to the same failure rate. http://www.fastsilicon.com/latest-news/m...-defective.html Granted that link is old but all models after that still fail so they are included. Definitely get an extended warranty when you buy one.

Ya its really more a design flaw than a flawed manufacture job, newer units have a lower fail rate...but still higher than the industry standard of 3-5%, MS is really dragging its arse but then it always dose.
Copyright infringement is nothing more than civil disobedience to a bad set of laws. Lets renegotiate them.
