They are exactly the same. You wont even notice a difference graphics wise. Games amde for ps3 and then ported to 360 will look a fraction better and vice versa (you wont even notice the difference.) The ps3 downloads files to the HDD so it reduces load times.

What is this about xbox live being better? Because you have to pay for it you want to believe your money is being well spent? Stop being a fanboy

edit: also don't forget some sites compare the ps3 to xbox graphics using the ps3's composite cable which is NOT hd

Rubbish, i dont know what sites your talking about but realiable well known sites compare with the highest specs for both. Ie gamespot and ign.

Don't quote me but i am pretty sure it was actually IGN who got busted doing this roughly a year or so ago.

Well until you can prove other wise maybe you shouldnt make such statements. You wouldnt want to look like a fanboy now.

XBOX360 still seems to have the best ports. A great recent example is ghost busters. it looks much better of XBOX360.

I tend to buy most of my games on 360 as well due to gamerscore. I think the gamerscore is better than trophies.

I am the complete opposite of a fanboy. I can appreciate any console and would love to play gears of war but just cbf going out to buy another console for a couple of exclusives. I asked around on the forum i first saw this and they can't remember exactly what site it was but they do remember it.

My guess it would have been either GT, gamespot, or eurogamer. But it was a long time ago.
Unless anyone can link me to a thread good luck, i'm not going to waste hours of my time just to prove a point to somebody who thinks every site is the nicest website in the world and acts with integrity and doesn't favour one console over another.

Yeah they look much better on the 360 because they are designed for the 360 and then ported over to ps3 because it's easier to code for and cheaper. They don't even look too different anyway, have a look at patty's post.

When it comes down to who looks better... there is no winner. GoW looks amazing and so does MGS4. GT5 looks stunning and so does Heavy Rain.

PS3 for sure, the games hold there value much better in resale, a couple of months later 360 games are worth stuff all and the PS3 games are still worth a fair amount. I would know, I own a 360 and a Wii.

yeah but that goes both way, which means in a few months you can buy cheap games :D i have owned both hands down xbox 360 i do a bit of online gaming and the xbox is just way better for online use, the dash board is more user friendly and the media centre is a extra bonus. main reasons i bought a PS3 was for metal geal solid, final fantasy and GT4. final fantasy is coming out on 360, GT4 is still not out and metal gear solid was average. just my 2 cents

MGS4 was a special game although not for everyone. It has to be appreciated for what it is. A stunning masterpiece. Although i personally didnt find the gameplay all that fun and the story was so cheesy i could puke. The graphics where up there with the best of them and it had a massive appeal to alot of people.

dont get me wrong, MGS4 had it's good points but just didn't tickle my fancy as much as 1 & 2 did they are some of my all time favourite games :(

At the end of the day what matters most is a full 1080p tv setup. I laugh at all the people who complain about how one console has better graphics then the other yet there using a standard definition tv.

The main problem with the 360 is the propensity for the 3 red rings of death due to the shitty cooling system, but if you're the first purchaser and have resisted the urge to open it up for whatever reason, you can get it repaired free of charge.

Red ring was a problem YEARS ago. They've well and truely fixed and dealt with it. Havn't heard of anyone getting it for ages.

I have an Xbox (never had red ring) and my xbox pretty much is constantly on, downloading content. Main reason I chose xbox over PS3 is because I wanted it for online play, I find it much more fun than local network or by yourself. Xbox live system is far better than the PS3 network even though you have to pay for it. Xbox also has exclusive downloaded content on Xbox live for instance GTA IV - Lost and Damned released on Xbox live an expansion on Grand theft Auto IV for about $30.

Why is XBL better than PSN? The PSN also has exclusive DLC lol.

I have had two brand new consoles get the red ring of death this year. Last one happened a month ago and it was definitly one of the suppossed "new" model where they have fixed it.

So no i dont believe its no longer a problem...its supposed to be less likely to happen but still does.

Having owned a 360 and now owning a ps3 i thought id talk about my experiences.

Ive had both break down on me once each. The ps3 was possibly due to my old work though working in a highly dusty environment and bringing that back with me but im not sure.

The ps3 was returned to me much faster and customer support was overall much better to deal with than the xbox360 although i dont think one example can be taken as gospel as i may just have had a good person on the other end of the line on that occasion.

Price wise i think they are fairly similar.

xbox 360 i hear is $350 now + wireless $130? + xbox live $100 = $580

ps3 is about $699 and they throw in 2 games + you get a bluray player which there is no denying your gonna be buying in the next few years anyway and there several hundred dollars alone.

As for games i think 360 has it hands down at the moment. pretty much all of the big sony exclusives have been average. im really hoping gt5 and gow3 are something special. 360 with the likes of halo 3, forza, and the gears of war series is better in my opinion. I also love how you can play music while playing your games which you cannot on ps3... why the f%# not sony?!?!

Having said all of this i still put my vote to the ps3 as its a better console, its undeniably more powerful and there for has more potential. and it looks like microsoft are going to be banking on the natal in the future and that doesnt interest me in the slightest. I feel the ps3 has more to offer with its built in wirless and bluray drive, it also has an easily upgradable hardrive and the ability to load other operating systems onto it.

If sony just bring down the price of the ps3 im sure people will start to see the same things. at the moment all people see is $700 for ps3 or $350 for xbox which is hardly the case.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
