They say what I have been saying for a while now.
Get both.

If you can't afford both, start saving a little here and a little there and over time you will be able to buy both. You owe it to yourself.

Basically they said go with the console that has the games you prefer and to a lesser extent the controller you prefer. They said the consoles are close enough technically that it shouldn't be a deciding factor unless you really want Blu-ray.

I wish more developers would start doing podcasts.

great summary. and i do think both of the consoles are far from reaching their peaks.

The most unbiased podcast ever released.

Shows that the 360 still has some potential left over. While also proves that PS3 games can be on-par with 360 games given the right circumstances.

PS3 CPU Cell is MUCH MORE powerful, then x360 CPU.
Video card is almost on pair with x360 video card, well in reality, RSX do better in shader operations:
68 billion shader operations per second theoretical maximum ( ((5 ALU x 24 pixel pipelines) + (2 ALU x 8 vetrex pipelines)) x 500 MHz ) for RSX
vs
48 billion shader operations per second theoretical maximum (2 ALU x 48 shader pipelines x 500 MHz) for Xenos

And now, the most important part.
PS2 had only 4mb vram. That means, PS2 games looks amazing thnx to CPU.
So, expect to see MUCH MORE amazing games on PS3 in near future.
Well,. Rathcet, Uncharted, GT5P already look amazing.
PS3 FTW! =)

I own both consoles as well, and i also think that ps3 seem more next gen than the 360. There`s something about the games, it`s hard to put my finger on it but it just has more next gen feel to them. I only own 4 games for the ps3 thou, against 24 for the x360, mainly due to recent aquisition of the ps3. The x360 has let me down many times in 2 years whille the ps3 keeps impressing me with every day. It`s my honest oppinion.
Planning to get a wii in the future to get my gf into gaming. Hope it`ll work, fingers crossed.

That whole podcast seemed like they were trying to justify the ps3 "ROFMSL"

Ohhhhhhhh the RSX is just as powerful as the 360s..........but the RSX has to use the cpu to make it comparable but its just as powerful. LAUGH MY FACKING BUM HOLE OFF.

The killer was them at the end saying the ps2 was capable/powerful as as the original XBOX, WOW just WOW.

like this dev trying to sell his game on the PS#3. Let me see Burnout made on the Cell and ported to the 360 and they look pretty much the same but the 360 has slightly more color not by much thou. Mark Reign said that UT#3 for the PS#3 look better that Gears, he was lying. When the Rage engine games come out look out. 360 FTW.

rsx was designed to take advantage of the spe's it's in the architecture, the IMB paper show's this design goal clearly. If developers don't take advantage of the design then we don't see the benefit.

In overview I think the idea is that the SPE's can help a slightly lesser GPU work a lot smarter and by introducing greater efficiency in what and how you render PS3 can produce a much better overall performance.

We've only seen the tip of the iceberg in terms of what both consoles can achieve.

If you don't think the PS3 is going to perform considerably better then you're delusional. The same applies for the 360, if you honestly don't think the 360 has just as much untapped power, well then you can't be helped ;)

The 360 was easier 2 dev for because it's similar in ways 2 develop for the PC. Now that most dev's understand the PS3 architecture this seems to be an obstacle of the past

Now we find it's not a case of Xenos vs RSX, 360's cpu vs The Cell or Shared mem vs Seperate... it's now a situation of this dev team vs that dev team. It's more of a human issue (and all those common human problems such as Man power, talent and of course money).

If you can see it in this way, then perhaps you'll approach this hobby we all share in a less fanboyish manner. And possibly save you money for trips 2 the doc for high blood pressure ;)

Instant classic! Platinumed it twice and ran it yet again for some cheevo love on XB. Arguably influenced another series I respect in Forza Horizon. Can’t be denied.
