Hey, just in time for Christmas!
So, are you advocating to the OP (and all of us) that we should get a PSP instead of either the 360 or PS3?

Uncharted is far more linear than Mass Effect, by far. It's also a rather smaller scale, too.
Nint£ndo? Doesn't really work does it. It's hard to call them M$ when they're paying billions of them $'s to fix these 360's.
diamond.g - There's no point in posting NDP data anymore. You can predict the order in which the systems will be.

Not what anyone was expecting two years ago.
Speak for yourself
Even my "Sony/MS fans will disregard the Wii and say it's for casual gamers only" prediction came true!
I am surprised to see it not doing as well now though, what with the price drops and people on forums making the games sound like the second coming. The cheapest model here has dropped £130. £50 off the price of a Wii! They just need to accelerate some of these "killer apps" like Home. They're competing against the 360 for it's online component, not the Wii.

This is the kind of advice that is not germane as of Dec 2007. The PS3 is already less expensive feature for feature and it has plenty of great titles already available. Do you need 200 games at 50+ each or do you need several excellent games in every genre? I don't know how much time people have to play, but for me a few great games will last me months.Wait for more games and more price drops from the PS3.
Well... partly true and partly not true. If you want to play wireless which is probably most of us, your price of the 360 just went up (due to having to buy the add-on wifi component) to match the price of the PS3 (which also includes the high def dvd player). Secondly, there are many people who like the fact that just one machine and one connection to the TV will do games, normal dvd's, and high definition dvd's. It's a great way to simplify.But please come back and tell me how Blu-Ray and WiFi are requirements of playing a video game. Or don't, because they're not. .
That was vaguely familiar to me but I had to google it, heh. Thanks for the laugh! We are talking about games here...
How hard is it to compare game graphics? You plop one dvd in and look. Take it out. Plop a different dvd in the other console and look. I wasn't talking about game depth which I would assume goes to ME, although I have heard people finish it in 14 hours. I have no idea how far along I am in Uncharted but it seems like I have a lot of Rewards left to accomplish. I have about 8 hours in so far. It is completely linear, no question. But again I wasn't referring to the game depth or design, just the graphics of those two particular games.
We disagree. Faces are the main thing I compared between ME and UC. For example on the ship in the opening scene that new recruit's face had shadows that were all jaggie, pixelated, and boxy. I'm on a 46" 1080p TV so that could cause some stretching (although ME is promoted as a 1080p game). Also, teeth and lips are often overlaying each other and clothing cuts into the body. UC looks smoother and more natural to me. We're probably splitting hairs at this point because what I really want are graphics as good as Shrek 3 or Beowolf. Games are -close- but not quite there yet.they even manage much more realistic looking human faces than Unchartered.
Good points.I'm guessing the OP has by this stage already made his decision, and therefore is there any point in continuing this nonsensical little boy pissing contest, that has dragged on page after page ? I think for the sake of inner peace within the gaming forum, this thread should be allowed to die and people should stop arguing and go and play there own consoles or take up another hobby....

For those of us who haven't got one of the heavy-weight consoles yet, it's still interesting to see how opinion towards each changes as time goes by.
We must be using different copies of Mass Effect. When I play Uncharted it looks far more pixelated than Mass Effect does. Still looks good, but not quite as good. And they both have good performance for me - as in, no stuttering, no lag. *shrugs*
Yeah, see this is where you lost credibility in this discussion because you have either a) not read this entire thread, or b) selectively deleted portions from your memory, or c) chosen not to accept that this generation of consoles are about more than just playing games for many people. Oh well... have a nice day.I love how "BluRay" and "WiFi" are brought up in a "which to buy?" scenario like you absolutely cannot and will not be able to play games on anything but a BluRay disc-based system, or a networked system with WiFi instead of wired 10/100....
?
I own both consoles and both games, and there is nothing on the 360 that can touch Uncharted in terms of detail and large environments.....
but the PS3 absolutely spanks the 360 in terms of pure power.
As I have already stated, most developers agree power wise the hardware is pretty much evenly matched. One has benefit A, the other benefit B - but when taken as a whole they are pretty much even.
I've got an inkling we'll be saying this till the cows come home![]()
The sad thing is so many people expected the PS3 to do better than what it did, considering the price drop. Software differences are insane though. COD4 sole 1.5 million units on the 360 while <500k on the PS3. Exclusives to the PS3 are doing horribly.
Not what anyone was expecting two years ago.
This is a so far unproven statement. In order for this to be tested we would need to see Uncharted on the 360 optimized for it's core strengths, and then we could compare discrepancies.
Uncharted is a great looking game granted, but to say it proves beyond a shadow of doubt the PS3 is better than the 360 power wise is an utterly untenable position and one that is utterly facetious.

With the only evidence being 2 exclusive games and a disregard for the systems specs.Agathon said:It was no lie to say that the original XBox was a more powerful machine than the PS2. Now the boot is on the other foot.
