I hope that was sarcasm, because this is in no way a triumph, no matter how much spin you put on it. Please tell me one advantage for the consumer? You probably won't find one. Unless for some reason you're a masochist.
The only party this benefits is Sony. If I'm really hyped for a game, I play the demo over and over again. The only reason to play a demo twice is if you're unsure about the first playthrough, or you like it so much that you play it multiple times. This hinders mu...
I 110% agree with you. You have just completely summed up mulitplat development in a nutshell. I just wish that more people would realize this instead of using it as a fanboy tool.
Where was the Bluray hiding on this one?

EDIT: Yes Callahan, I know the reasoning behind it, I just think its funny when people spin out of control because of minor graphical differences. The game isnt going to play any different, it just gives people the ammo they need to constantly bash each others consoles.
Edit 2: @Callahan- I...
I hate to burst bubbles here, but there is barely a noticeable difference. I just watched the comparison video and it looks practically darn near the same. Am I missing something here? This is definitely nowhere near the the Bayonetta difference.
I mean, I'll still be getting this on the PS3 due to tradition, but I really don't think this is anything to write home about.

I applaud you for your honesty and sincerity. Im glad youre not overreacti...
And Im sure youre just another PS3 fanboy, desperate for attention. Its probably just Saaking with an alt account, seeing as his main has one bubble and this one was made just 6 hours ago.
On Topic: It really seems that MS is making a push to break into the Japanese gaming market. Their efforts are clearly more vigorous, especially since the Monster Hunter announcement.
I was unfortunately a victim of a Heavy Rain spoiler while I was mid game. I was just browsing a review here on N4G, and a post above mine had spoiled the ending for me. I tried to push it out of my head and pretend I never saw it, but it didnt help. I waited so long to play that game, and it was ruined for me. I wish the d-bags that spoil endings would all just die. What purpose does ruining peoples experience serve? Sociopaths really baffle me.
Looks like I'll have to wear blin...
As much as I think Jim Sterling is a degenerate fanboy, I have to agree with a few of his points. I really don't feel it deserves the title "masterpiece." After playing it, I really felt unsatisfied. There were so many loose ends that didn't make sense.
But one thing that this game did make me feel was tense. I dont think my heart has every pounded so fast in my life. And the best part of it all was that it wasnt only a one time deal, it was through the whole game.
Was trying to sign into PSN to watch Netflix, actually thought my internet was down because Ive never had a problem with the PSN before. Oh well, looks like Im lugging my 360 into the other room for the time being. Nothing like lazy couch-locked Sundays.
Wow, its a PS3 fanboy orgy in here.
Its garbage when it shows the Xbox ahead. In another article floating around, theres a no-name site saying the opposite. Apparently that site is legit according to the PS3 fanboys.
Dude, what are you smoking? Sony and Nintendo both report shipped, not sold.

This link shows the Xbox ahead of the PS3 in every market except for Japan.
Well, I guess this just shows that globally the 360 is up. I knew it.
Theres no proof to back up this data. Both links lead to nothing. It just proves that no one actually reads the articles.
Am I in the Twilight Zone?
@Silent Negotiator
Im not sure I understand your logic. You believe this article (which has no solid proof, because the links dont even work and its from a no name site) but the other article that gets the news from the same place isnt legit?
Im sorry but the Wii has already lost the gamers. There is no regaining ground on "core" gamers.
So its ok for Rob Dyer to make bold claims like this, but when Greenburg says it, its considered talking smack?
Hmmm, Im really confused.
I went to play Uncharted 2 multiplayer last week, and it started connecting to the multiplayer. A bar popped up and filled extremelllllly slow. It said "Syncing" about 20 times, and was only half full after about 5 minutes so I shut it off. Anyone else have this problem connecting to multiplayer?
I havent run into any problems yet. But then again Im only about 80 minutes in. I will say that their "install" process was very clever. I ended up finishing right when it was done installing.
What dont you get about OPTIONAL install? Every 360 game has the OPTION. Key word here: OPTION. Arcade owners can play this game if they want. Newer Arcade units have internal memory for save games.
Sometime I wonder if people ever read the actual article...
@Saaking: Will you ever quit?
Uhhhh, this is for both. Practically every review so far is for both systems. The only site that hasnt is IGN. Game Informer said that if there were any differences in the 360 version, they would do a separate review. Otherwise, the PS3 score counts for it according to them.
