someone mentioned that 1 spu is disabled but i also believe 1 spu is used for the OS or i think its also called the xmb . this leaves 6 out of the 8 spu's, also these spu's can only work as fast as the ram(256mb) can provide the data.....which is further slowed by the 5400 rpm hard drive and by the slow bluray reader. the bottom line is all this put together means the spu 's will never hit 100% load. games will continue to get better as codeing improves, but you better beleave they are useing all the cores they can....as ram and other hardware permits. you can also expect more ylod's due to dev's finally putting out games thats actual stress the system, as well as the dust has had time to settle in our systems so if killzone 2 only uses 60% its because thats all they were able to squeese out due to the before mentioned reasonsmachiavell8x8

Meaningless figures

Does the game look good? Yes.

I couldn't care less if they'd used 1% or 100%

im surprised at why people feel Killzone 2 is a great lookiing game the blur is a joke you want a good looking game look at gears 2 and MGS4.TX360
I read a couple of previews for KZ2 that said that it's the best looking console game ever made, and GS was one of those previews. "[...]we would be remiss if we didn't mention the graphics--or more specifically, how awesome they are. It wouldn't be much of a stretch to say Killzone 2 is the best-looking console game we've seen." Though I'll admit Gears 2 and and MGS4 are very beautiful, having played them both in 1080p on a 60" LCD, I believe that Killzone 2 looks even nicer, and it appears that others agree.

I don't think I believe the developers anymore. Where are they pulling these percents? Sounds like nonsense now.

i look at it like this. the ps3 is supposed to have like a ten year life span right. If a game like killzone looks that good then that just means that greater things are still yet to come. Now i love gears of war like you wouldn't believe but i can't help but wonder if that is the extent to what the 360 can do. Even if it is, I'm impressed. But I'm happy knowing that i won't have to buy another system in a few years if the ps3 is already giving great quality without tapping its full potential.
