You are an ****, the PS3 hasn't been around as long as the 360, thus developers know how to code for the 360 better. Why don't you go **** your biased fan boy ****** on a corner somewhere.
no need to be rude, well i'm a fanboy of sony but i do agree on what ur saying i'm studying computer science, once u get used to a language it gets easy, i guess the same is happening with the ps3, but they probably want to push it a little extra cuz so far ps3-360-games look better on the ps3 like the one that just came out burnout paradise, way better on the ps3 .. just facts
nobrainer up there .. i dun really think u can compare a 400$ dollar console with an at least 800$ pc. so probably a pc can beat a ps3 but what's the tag? games cost the same and pc doens't get everything all ,plus the fact that u don't have to deal with video card issues with a n specefic game or an issue regarding closed ports on the router.
so beat it pc are for shooter games cuz of the mouse and i think a ps3 accsesory just came out wich includes a mouse and keyboard(not sure saw a picture don't remember where thought)
hey little man have you got glasses?..seems you need em! The vast majority of games released on both 360 and ps3 look better on the 360! Go read the reviews at IGN to prove my point. I haven't seen Burnout Paradise on either system yet but if it looks better on the ps3 then it would be one of the very few that do...now that is fact!

more like around half mainly do to immature optimization code, this should not be a problem with year.
Also the 360 has issues with space witch will only get worse so meh its like being fickle over the hard liquor you drink...its all piss anyway :P

yes the cell processor is to blame but to put it all on the ps3 meh.
Also the 360's are getting an os upgrade that allows Page file Index support. Somthing that should speed up game development while MS decides Blu-ray OR HD-Dvd.
Somthings Fishy and i think rockstars Not telling us what the real problim is

and the reason for it is due to optimization issues on the PS3 and space issues on the 360.

It's good to get the fault of the delay cleared up. I was under the impression (until this article) that it was mostly the space issue for the 360. Now, i know better. :)
Either way, can't wait to get a hold of it, and play it.

I guess what I am getting at is that the PC only has upgradeable hardware and software to wear you can make a game better easier than on a console, but the sad thing is they don't make many "PC" games any more.
IMO the PC offers the most bang for your buck for 500 of them and can havle your software exspensinces, consoles tend to be locked and one sided and looking to "bukkuka" on the consumer personally I have had enough of short sighted 50+$ games locked 300+ hardware, I'll get the games in time but they are losing money not treating the PC as a equal player in this, hell if they would up the quality on the control(full button mapping) and let me use a KB&M when I want then thats worth 200$ to me right there putting the total price I am willing to spend on the new consoles to 300-400$.. but until they do this....I wont spend more than 200 on it.....
I'd have to agree with you on the consoles allowing full KB&M support. They would steal many gamers from their PCs if they would just realize this. I would probably have a 360 by now if that was the case. I would still consider my PC as my primary gaming machine, of course, especially for the original content and games that are natively meant for the PC such as Blizz and Valve games, but it would be nice to finally experience games like Dead Rising with proper controls.

You know, they might have needed more time to test and add content. Regardless, I would rather have a game released that is coded and tested well instead of something released that was half baked. It might suck that it has been delayed but it will benefit us. I am sure if Rockstar could have released it in October they would have. I am sure they would like the money has much as us wanting to play the game. :-)

there are a lot of reasons why its delyed but I am happy it is...would rather have the game finished and polished and not released as a buggy mess...

First i heard abotu it beign delayed because fo the 360, i always thought it was the coding for the ps3 which was why they were taking their time, and whislt they waited they were makign the360 dc packs!
Yeah its not a surprise the ps3 is clearly a peice of hardware which is too advanced for its time and peopel do not have much experiance with coding for it (i.e. the cell processor)

Smart decisions by rockstar this delay will make the fans happy because it is well explained and has good reason to it and now its up to the game to live up to expectations.

odd, someone else at the top of rockstar said that this was untrue and that the the real reason for the delay was to ensure the multiplayer was brought up the original expectations. It does seem odd when you think about it that a game originally intended as exclusive to ps3 then gets delayed because the ps3 version takes longer to program for when it goes multiplatform. eh ...

Are you so sure the graphics are WAYbetter on the PS3??? Some fanboys fanboys minds are so shallow that they exaggerate things and dont have enough sense to be an unbiased gamer. That sounds just about as bad as the xbots who use to say the graphics are WAYbetter on the xbox 360. I have seen recent games like Call of duty 4, Devil may cry 4 and yeah there is some diff in graphics but i would hardly call it a way better experience on one console than the other. Go to youtube and compare some of the games. The graphics are not way better on either console. They are pretty close and if some one was playing Devil may cry 4 on a tv and you walked into the room, YOU COULD NOT TELL WHICH SYSTEM THEY WERE PLAYING WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE CONSOLE OR THE CONTROLLER. Now i agree the xbox 360 has an advatage over the ps3 d/t the release date. It is easier to program for the xbox360 at this time but i also believe that sometime in the future the ps3 games will start to outshine the xbox360 but as of now no one know how much better they will look graphic wise. Just stay unbiased untill then. Once the graphics look like comparing sega saturn graphics to psx, then you can say WAY better concerning graphics.

Haha ill agree with that,lxhotboyHowever The PS3 Does render darks and shadows a bit better. but when your playing a fast pace action game who really looks at there own shadow or how dark the room is when there is a flicker of light,i do.
the XBox has better Flare&Glare. like when i look at a sword the reflection and dent pits are a lot better drawn out. then again who has the time to obseve the dent on the wall or there gun there shooting, i do.
But as of now there is little or no Difference between the two in graphics prowless.
