"This is a pointless discussion - you look at flower, you look at Killzone 2, you look at Uncharted, you look at Gran Turismo -- and you KNOW the PS3 is more powerful graphically.Yes, they are all first party games, and yes they look better because they are solely concentrating on the PS3. But that is not the point. The point is that third parties aren't finding it quite as profitable to take the extra time with the PS3. But that doesn't mean the power is not there. We've seen it. Go and play Uncharted and tell me a game that looks better. And that game is from 2007.The point is, it's expensive and takes more time. But you can't just write it off and say the power's not there. It is, and it's been proved by Sony's internal studios time and time over.It all depends on the developer. Take Fallout 3 and Burnout Paradise as examples. You work, you get rewards. You slack you don't.It's the same situation as XBOX and PS2 except reversed.Whatever. I'm gonna go and play Killzone 2. Let's all be friendly and happy, regardless of the systems we prefer?"

I disagree i think if weren't for blu-ray for sure an xbox 360 could run uncharted, GT5 and Killzone 2. "

I really don't see how those games are any better looking than anything that is available on the 360. In fact, what you're implying is that the 360 is technically incapable of reproducing the graphics of those games which is clearly not the case.  I mean, do you really believe what you're saying here, or is your bias getting the better of you because you own a PS3 and not a 360? I'm guessing here, but there seems to be a repeating pattern amongst the rabid fanboys for either system who so often like to declare that the system that they own is better.I can't recall ever seeing a forum post from a person who owns both consoles going on and on about how one or the other is superior. People who own both like I do see the value in both consoles and realize that each one has it's strengths, but to claim one is clearly superior is irresponsible at best. I just don't understand how one could play Gears 2 and Killzone 2 back to back and then come onto the forums and say things like you do. You may want to examine your own bias in this matter before replying again."

"Uncharted: Drakes Fortune - only possible because of blu-ray."

I don't think you know what that word means."

I was taking the piss of the posted before me. You see. Hahaha. It's funny. Because he said "it's possibles on teh if teh XBOXez had blu-ray" -- you see. It was a jokes. Do you get it?"

"I find it amusing that they say the 360 is less powerful than PS3 given that the 360 has a higher rate of hardware failures toppled with the fact they only run discs that are less than 10GB and lastly my favourite, 360 requires a vast amount of power to run a game which is displayed by the noise. PS3, however, has no noise and runs games that tops up to 60GB."

Geez, way to shot the messenger.  I read the article on vgchartz, someone else did the work.  I thought it was an interesting read and posted it simply for discussion.

My bias is the Wii.  I think the PS3 is better in all ways except price and library and that is why I have a 360, which I still believe to be seriously flawed.  I pointed out my preference to the PS3 in the opening post.  If people get their knickers in a twist arguing over this, then they should take a look at themselves.

Bottom line - I will add a PS3 to my collection when the price is right.  I could care less about all these technical issues.  I buy a game to play.  If I like it, then job done.  Discussions are fine, arguing to assert authority is mental masturbation.

PBut the switch from VHS to DVD was so huge, even in physical size. Its not the same going to Blu-Ray. Plus an upconverted DVD used with a good upconverting DVD player and a nice HDTV can look REALLY good. No, not Blu-Ray quality as its not native 1080p but awfully close. Average consumers aren't going to care about that."

Ok, show me a game that looks better than Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and Killzone 2. Please show me that game.I'm making the assumption that the XBOX 360 can't do it because no one has shown it me. Yes I have played Gears Of War 2. It's a very good game. Does it look better than Uncharted? Subjective but no.Please don't try to assume I'm biased just because you can't provide an argument that tells me I'm wrong. All the games I listed are better than anything else available anywhere else on consoles.And please refrain from your holier-than-thou stance. Prove me wrong. Show me. I'm open to it."

Either your blind...or more of a fanboy than i thought. Gears 2 looks 10x better than uncharted. Go back and play both of those games, no wait...play gears 1 because that looks better than uncharted.
