This is because of the EDRAM unit in the Xbox360 which has circuitry, which, if enabled, basically exaggerates the light and dark and give the picture a slight blue-push to make the image appear to "pop" more at the cost of detail, and in some cases, to mask the lack of resolution.
There is no way that a PS3 that is bought will have a different serial number than what is on it's receipt that is electronically scanned and entered with no human error possible.
On the other hand, customers lie all the time! I have had to deal with hundreds of pathetic low-lifes who have no morals! They try sympathy, they try being angry, they try threats. We say thank you bye bye and they come on to blogs and insult the companies who they tried to scam. I used to work at ...
Most PS3 games are high-def.
Most Xbox360 games are not high-def.
;)
Seems like Microsoft's paid blog/forum goons are doing their usual rounds of N4G and other sites. It's getting predictable guys. Boooooring.

"Obvious because the PS3 has yet to make a game the 360 "can't" do?"
Games that are beyond anything on Xbox360:
Ratchet & Clank: 60fps, near-Pixar quality graphics, great animation, true HD
Gran Turismo 5: 60fps, easily the most photo-realistic racing graphics while displaying twice as many cars as PGR4 or Forza2, true HD
Lair: 30fps, 130M polygon levels (easily besting anything else), true HD
Unchart...
Observe these facts:
1) Very few Xbox360 titles are even high def. It's as if the developers had to choose between effects/detail and resolution.
2) Nearly all PS3 titles are true, native high def. Plus, there are a lot more (than Xbox360) that are native 1080P FullHD.
Sorry folks. This HD-DVD disc, which hasn't even been shown to be manufacturable, is not just a "firmware upgrade" away from your HD-DVD players. This new disc uses the same laser but requires a different kind of pickup.
Video and audio quality are not the same.
1) Blu-Ray movies consistently rank higher on movie reviews than the same HD-DVD version for picture quality. The higher bit-rate makes a difference there.
2) Audio. Blu-Ray has the bit-rate and capactity for true lossless surround sound audio and has the capacity for future audio formats that include vertical arrangement of speakers so audio is truly three dimensional. Current audio is left-right & front-back. ...
This site is being taken over by paid Microsoft goons who copy and paste their own posts under various user names in various threads.
What's worse, those posts are filled with something called FUD. This is a dirty technique that some companies, especially Microsoft, have been known to use to intentionally confuse customers. Typical Microsoft dirty tricks.
Disgusting. The people who run this site ought to start tracing IP addresses.
... that it even runs in 720P on the Xbox360. Being pixel shader limited, many Xbox360 games aren't even high-def, they just upscale, just like a cheap "up-convert" DVD player that upscales regular DVDs instead of playing actual High def discs like HD-DVD or Blu-Ray.
BTW, be careful of Guardianofthepeace. His posts look like those of a paid marketer, rather than of a genuine Xbox360 fanboy, and consist of false information while pretending to be impartial such as:...
It's easy to tell a marketing drone from a true Xbox360 fanboy. You're not an Xbox360 fanboy. Say hi to Major Nelson for me.

There are absolutely no such articles anywhere. You're intentionally making things up to confuse consumers while pretending to be the "guardian of peace". Tell Major Nelson I said hi...
Hey D**k, you've got quite a few howlers in there, but this one's a real beauty:
"The reason why we almost never see the PPE of the PS3 used ..."
Guess what, D**k, the PS3 won't even boot up unless the PPE is used! The PPE is to the PS3 what your Intel/AMD CPU is to your PC. It is always used!
Here's some advice from someone who actually develops software for a living ... the next time you want to demonstrate your promotional skills to pr...
Sorry D**k
Lowest Common Denominator effect. Microsoft requires that all games have the same graphics on the XBox360 core as on the "elite".
The only thing Microsoft allows Xbox360 games to use the hard-drive for is to reduce load times, not improve graphics compared to the Core. So the Core and Premium will always have exactly the same graphics.
On the other hand, PS3 games can pull data from both a hard-drive to provide better graphic...
The PS3 easily has more processing power. There's quite simply a lot more transistors in there. Even this stooge repeated that the PS3 has more processing power. It is true, what he said, that the Xbox360 has more "available" memory, meaning, the Xbox360's operating system takes up less RAM than the PS3's operating system.
What he fails to mention is that because, unlike the PS3, which can load data from both the hard-disk and blu-ray drive at the same time at pre...
The rope animation is vastly superior but I dont understand why they didnt do it with the 360 since it is just one rope. Maybe they were limited by the small cache or more likely they were using the CPU to deal with streaming compressed data straight from the DVD through narrow pipe into RAM.
People forget that on the PS3, the GPU can have an peak RAM access rate of more than 45GB/s (if they use the unique oversized GPU cache properly to buffer data and hide latency) wherea...
The only meaningful differences visible in these super low resolution videos are in the one with the chopper although all the differences slightly favor the PS3.
1) Look at the lighting on the helmet of the chap near the window. It's smoother and more consistent on the PS3. On the Xbox360 it's a little more binary but if the videos were not side-by-side no one would notice. Not a biggie. Also the lighting on the sleeve of the person holding the gun is marginally better on t...
Beautiful game. Technically, however, apart from pushing a higher than average amount of polygons and having good collision detection, it's nothing to be wowed by. It's a bit like Prince of Persia, that looked beautiful but was techncially mediocre.
What is amazing is the art direction. The artists have taken the limited engine provided to them and done a fantastic job with it.
From a technical standpoint, let's not even compare it to games like Uncharted whic...
PS3uk looks like it's basically one guy who registered a domain name and started his own game review website where he does all the reviews under different names. It's funny how desperate xbots are that they jump at the first closet Xbox-fanboy-pretending-to-be-a -PS3-fanboy-so-he-can-more-conv incingly-crap-on-PS3-games website.
Not only is this a proper review, but the entire site is filled with amateurish mistakes. He didnt even both to use a spell-checker! lol
Just because the PS3 is a more capable machine does not mean that Rockstar is able to get good performance out of it. In fact, many developers don't have enough experience in heterogenous multi-core processors to get respectable performance from the PS3. Rockstar never did too well on the PS2 (getaway had much better graphics without the pop-in, much better physics and effects, etc) so I'm not holding out for great PS3 performance from Rockstar.
Having said that, the general im...
