My Multiplatform Illness.


Ok, so i posted this on another forum, and really wanted to get your guys opinon on it because I trust in your maturness (atleast for most of you) and id like to get as much feedback on this that I can so it can help me in the future.  
  
And for those of you who constantly rag on me for worrying about graphics so much, maybe it can give you some insight to why im so crazy about console version differences. 
 
Ok, maybe illness is excessive, but its gotten to the point recently where its affecting my enjoyment of the consoles i game on.  I know  this is very strange, but I just got it rammed in my head that 360 version of games are always going to be better than the PS3 version. to the point where I feel stupid for considering buying the PS3 version when I hear of a new multiplatform game. This is due to the fact ive been burned for some many years owning a PS3 and ive constantly recieved bad ports of games, or atlest ports that dont look quit as good as the 360 version. It gotto the point where I started buying the same version of the game twice. With GTA 4, I bought the PS3 version, but when I found out it didnt look as good as the 360 version, I bought the 360 version. I spent 120 dollars+ on the same game. Now, im considering buying SSF4 on 360, even though I own a Arcade stick and the original on PS3. That would mean if I did get it on 360, I would need to buy the game and a new stick. thats like 100 bucks + assuming I get a cheap Hori stick. And heres the kicker, originally I bought the first SF 4 on 360, with a Madcats stick on launch, but then my friend who said he was going to paly with me on 360 decided not to and get it on PS3. So I sold my stick and game to get the PS3 version of the game and a stick for it, then he decides not to paly it anymore and I dont think I ever played with him once. I felt very stupid and wasted a enormouse amount of money on the same game.

 
But I feel like if I dont get the best looking version, im doing myself a disservice to my game enjoyment. I frantically search comparison sites everytime a new game comes out.  
 
i dont think im mentally ill or anything,    But I would like to stop doing this. Its even disolved to the point where im thinking sites when they show the 360 version of a game only are further reinforcing my assumption that the PS3 version is going to be worse.   also, maybe the reason i think I like my PS3 more is because I listen to these podcasts where they constantly praise PS3, and say 360 is kinda lackluster (one would be Podcast beyond, a IGN PS3 podcast) and even when i listen to the Bombcast, they talk about how their playing the game on 360, that makes me think the PS3 version isnt good because theyre not playing that version.
  
maybe its me trying to justify my console purcahsing decisions.  
 
Maybe I would feel better about purchasing my multiplatform games on 360 If I wasnt so worried about it maxing out and becoming obsolete soon. Were really starting to see 360 hit its graphical peak, And I would hate to have all my multipaltform games for a console that might become obsolete. Im also afraid that, if down the road I want to paly the games again on my 360, When I fish my 360 out of my closet, it wont work because of the shoddy hardware. Plus, Im hearing all these positive news stories about how "PS3 is catching up to 360 and will eventually pass it" that I think it might be skewing my views a little bit. Like, my 360 is soon going to be beaten and obsolete. 

    
I would appreciate Mature criticism and opinons and advice, becaue I really want to get over this.
