Ugh, I hate CNet's prize-fights. The whole production is just plain annoying, and they give equal weighting to decidedly unequal factors (maybe it's just me, but I'm slightly more concerned about a console's library than the size of its power brick). And I have to disagree with their conclusion -- both consoles should be rated equally. Libraries are equal, I'm not going to give the PS3 the advantage in graphics until after I've played some of the 360's big-ticket 2010 games (ie Reach, ME2, Alan Wake, Crackdown 2 etc.), and XBL makes up for the PS3's advantage in value.

I watched the video and couldn't tell if they were comparing overall libraries or just this year's. If it was just this year I would definitely give it to the ps3.

Well if they are doing the review in 2009 comparing the 2 top systems why would they pause their review for a year and wait for the 360's titles to launch? As of right now Sony has all the graphic kings and top titles and that's a fact. It's like saying GS should've postponed the review of Forza 3 until GT5 came out for a fair comparison. I mean it's really a meaningless award. I doubt millions will go out and buy a PS3 just off of this review.

I didn't read the review just going on based on what the other guy said. I should've read the review, but the way he made it sound I thought they gave the ps3 the point for titles. Well regardless I see no point in them waiting a year just for the 360 to have more releases which was the main point of my previous post.

CNet is owned by Microsoft, Teh Bias! :o

:lol: I remember those threads back in 2006 and 2007 when sony fans couldn't get a break and resorted to untrue facts. Fast forward today, the PS3slim is definitely a better buy

I'm just saying there isn't much in the way of compelling evidence that the PS3 is significantly more powerful than the 360. Killzone 2 and UC2 are certainly the consensus best-looking console games, but you could equate much of that to relatively large budgets, a mandate from Sony to really push the PS3 and smart design (ie Uncharted's choice of settings, Killzone's use of motion blur) rather than the PS3 itself. On the other hand, no one has really gone out of the way to push the 360 to its limits, but the 2010 titles I mentioned at least have the potential to change that.

I see where you're coming from. Well I see it like this. When PS4 and the next gen Xbox come out then we will be able to tell which was stronger by looking at which had better looking exclusives, but until then comparisons like this can either be seen as pointless or people can twist it in ways they'd like to and try to make 1 console seem better than it actually is.

Doesn't the slim play ps1 titles? The reviewer said the slim has NO backwards compatibility at all, I'm just curious.

If you play online you buy a 360.

If you play by yourself or with people who come to your house buy a ps3.

CNET must be crazy, they are owned by MS and they gave the ps3 a higher rating than the 360, but thats nothing, they gave max os leopard a higher rating than windows 7 :O:O:O:scottiescott238

The design portion should have been incorporated in features, and shouldn't carry the same weight as the rest of the categories.

The PS3 is good if you play with yourself and the 360 is better if you play with others.

I have far more friends on 360 than the PS3 BTW.

As it should be ... the beast known as the PS3 *Points to Ceiling* is the complete package and then some for the same price, and less in the long run ( XBL Yearly Fee)

:question: Ratchet & Clank was compared to halo and Gears of War on X360? Of all the AAA titles that have come out they could have picked a better 3rd game than R&C. I mean I would have said Demon's Souls or inFamousbefore R&C lol........do these guys even play games?

I'm going to go ahead and call BS on this post. Complete and utter BS.

SpruceCaboose

And you would be correct! Both consoles have a mix of P2P and dedicated servers.

Wow, more and more people are finally coming to their senses. Since Sony came to their senses and matched the 360 price it holds the crown.
