IGN gave it a 9, nuff said, go back to your hole and play Halo 2.5.
What is more annoying is that they're ports and usually not as good as the 360 one.
I own both, but I'll wait for some definitive proof that one is better than the other.
I own a Pioneer 60" 1080p Kuro plasma and PC games do not look anywhere as close to as good on it than PS3/360 games do.
Come on, 1080p graphics, even if they're not eye dropping is pretty damn impressive especially since I haven't heard any major framerate problems.
Does it look as good as Bioshock or Heavenly Sword? No, but how about everyone calm down and play some of the hype in single player/multiplayer whatever you like and enjoy yourself.
The single player version is underwhelming as well...
But come on, you're not buying this for the single player version are you? I think if you forced IGN to rate single player only it wouldn't rank that high, but who cares!?!?!?
Since when does the 360 have HD-DVD?!?!?
The 360 has an HD-DVD add on for playing movies but there are no games planned or announced on HD-DVD, only the awesomeness of the PS3 has large capacity for video games... Only RPG games like Blue Dragon go over a DVD9 and they'll only be able to do that for RPGs.
Since the 360 isn't getting an updated drive either...
You don't think Microsoft is pushing HD-DVD right now? They just practically paid off Paramount.
If Bluray wins, and it's looking like they will, this marketing and extra money spent will be well worth it to them.
The add on isn't enabling HD-DVD in outselling Bluray is it?
Bluray DVD sales outselling HD-DVD 2:1 baby!!!
How about those numbers!?!?!?!?
Yeah, it's called the PS3 effect, and a newer add on is gonna help... Keep telling yourself that.
That there is a 360 game called Blue Dragon that uses up 3 dvds and is a piece of crap.
So, yeah DVDs are good enough if you're a flipper and you enjoy crappy games.
This review says it all
http://www.playthree.net/20...
so if he is seeing better quality on his inferior non Lossless audio, HDMI 1.2 enabled 360 w/HD-DVD addon, he needs some glasses or a new set of eyes.
Bluray won't lose to HD-DVD it's outselling it 2:1 in DVD sales.
At least the PS3 comes with a high definition drive so you CAN play movies on it, which is not a bad thing since 360 owners have to spend almost $200 for a sub par HD-DVD add on drive just to have that ability.
And you STILL lose out on lossless audio and HDMI 1.3a. Talk about getting ripped off.
The HD-DVD add on came out after the PS3. Yet look at the reviews
http://www.playthree.net/20...
Now they're coming out with a new one because they realized the current is a POS. But since it's an add-on with HDMI 1.2 (old technology), it's gonna suck just as bad as the first one.
They haven't even sold 200,000... Compare that with almost 5 million PS3s with Bluray built-in sold.
I think I might be the only one in the world not to play FF7, but at least I'll play it the right way.
If I can buy a BD writer for around $500 for my PC and write to it on disks that are less than $5 a piece and then upgrade the firmware on my PS3 to read them, I can burn/play my own HD footage, which might not mean a lot to some, but does mean a lot to others. I have over 24 hours worth of high definition content waiting for a cost effective way to burn it.
I agree with you and all, but really, anyone reading or posting on this forum is a geek, including myself, some are just cooler geeks, including myself.
It even plays High Definition content for your slick HDTV right out of the box.
If you try to play Warhawk without the update, it tells you to you can't play Warhawk til you go download the update basically.
If you use filters correctly, it won't take you longer than 5 minutes to get into a ranked game.
Both formats put together make up 5% of the whole DVD market now, so get some updated information.
On average the picture quality is superior? They both use MPEG4, so if the transfer is the same the picture will be as well. Compare any recent release from Warner to it's HD DVD counterpart and the video quality will be exactly the same.
50 GB disks are not rare, in fact almost all newer releases and most release this year use dual layer 50GB disks, so please get...
