I will give 5000 euro to you or anybody else who is able to run a copy of a PS3 blu-ray game. Not a PSN game, not a PS2 game. And you have to log in with your PSN account on that console first (force to update to the latest FW). On the other hand I can flash any xbox 360 console including those with Liteon DVD drives) in 30 minutes, play a copy of any xbox game on DVD and play it online without being banned.
"And I'm sure your PC running all that is completely silent..."
Which part of "water cooled" didn't you understand? :) I even put both of my harddisks into a special water cooled case (Silentstar HD-Dual Rev.2).
aww dont be jealous that I will play this game in 1920x1200 native resolution, 8xAA, and 120fps on my water cooled core 2 quad + nvidia gtx 295. :) And no, Microsoft won't profit from it anyhow - developers don't have to pay any licence fees for "games for windows". You'll have to put up with pop-ins, 15fps, terrible loading times and the noise of you xbox, sorry :)
"Who came first Xbox360 & PS3 or i7 Processor?" What does it have to do with processors? It's graphics cards that are responsible for anti-aliasing, high native resolution, framerate and texture size. The PC version will perform much better - graphics and loading times. When i played other Codemasters game, Grid, on my PC I ran it in 1920x1200, all settings maxed, 16xAA and still had 60fps. Console version was a toy compared to PC version. However I'm not looking forward to this...
