"Look, I'm sick of all the kerfluffle about how GT is biased towards 360 and how GT favors 360 and how GT hates on PS3. That ends now! The fact remains that 360 has just released better content than PS3. Period. See what I did there? I put a period after Period. That means conclusion; the end of discussion. The reason why GT gives 360 games better scores in the reviews is because the games are simply better experiences. The main reason for this--and it is often an overlooked and underestimated one--is because the 360 controller is a far superior gaming device than the Sony controller." Written by Dblock (staff member of Gametrailers) ---------------- Idiot, just shot himself in the foot and pretty much confirmed they're biased...lol

I would have to agree that the 360 is the better console w/awesome content, but if he's played a ps3, he would NEVER say it's outdated.

I suppose I can say that's his opinion, but it comes off as a bit fanboyish, imo. If he was really so concerned with Gametrailers' reputation, he would've said that GT rates on a fair rating system, and he'd leave it at that.

Another review site shoots itself in its own foot.

He goes on to mention how COD and GTA are blockbuster titles that shift consoles and implicitly links them to the 360, without realising they're multiplats and just as good on the PS3.

He also states the PS3 controller is outdated... what, did I miss something, it is just as good as the 360 controller, not quite as accurate for FPS but great none the less.

And then he says that the PS3 needs a story driven exclusive to match Gears and Halo... erm MGS4 bud.

FAIL. FAIL. FAIL from a site and video editor that should know better.

Blatant fanboy rant confirmed. He is not speaking on behalf of GT, he is just spouting and dribbling his own biased, know it all '1337' opinion. If I were GT, I would have this genius fired on the spot....if he even really works for them that is.

I like gametrailers.com. Sony Fanboys should really get over it. If someone states that they enjoy the 360 experience MORE than the PS3's experience Sony fanboys run into corners and cry about it. C'mon. Cut it out.

He's not stating he enjoys the 360 experience more. He is stating its superiroity is a fact and the ps3 is outdated.. If Gametrailers was credible they wouldn't have employees like this. Generally a company hires a person that shares similar views and goals

Exactly. It's dumb to say it doesn't represent GT, if it didn't then he wouldn't have his job, how is this some guys opinion? he's talking on BEHALF of gametrailers by saying they're not biased, that means he has to represent that with FACTS. Not BS opinion like "360 controller is superior to PS3" and all of it's content is better, what the hell is that. Gametrailers has the best video reviews but its such a shame that it's obvious they're pro-360, i won't say they're anti-ps3 but they obviously like 360 more and will therefore give the edge to it.

While its not impossible, I dont think that anyone is going to hide their opinion on something that they are passionate about. Gamers are passionate about everything about gaming. I can agree that if I worked for a company that gave reviews I would keep my opinion to myself. You gotta know Major Nelson has a PS3....he never says anything about it. How can you be a Major Gamer and NOT have as much as possible to deal with gaming? It was a bad move....but that really warrants Gametrailers.com as compromised? lol. They can "no longer be trusted"?

im wondering if Sony can take legal action against GT and other sites that spread lies.ZoomZoom2490

so if a person prefers 360 controller over ps3m, it's a LIE? maybe we should sue sony for all the lies they told us :)

The fact that he didnt know who Major Nelson was. My point was, Just because Im a spokesperson for Nike, doesnt mean that I dont prefer Adidas, or I think that Adidas has better track shoes etc. Overall, your going to have a choice......your going to like one more than the other. If you have two controllers....and your job is to test them out and pay attention to every little detail. Pros and Cons...your going to like one more than the other. Preference. Thats My opinion.

I think the issue is that you attributed the blog to GameTrailers, when he specifically said that blog does not represent the views of GameTrailers. It was a bit misleading.
