Im thinking about getting a Ps3 by combining some of my brothers money with my own (money is not a problem.) Meanwhile, my friend has a 360 and the graphics too look amazing. Im hoping I don't miss anything by getting a PS3 rather than the 360 in terms of graphics so basically my question for you is: Is there a diff. between the 360 and PS3 graphics?

Minimal difference to be honest. But this isnt a question that will be answered with any deal of credibility in this forum anyway.

The graphics are roughly the same, make a choice based on the games instead.

Graphics are useless this Generation between those two, they are virtually the same. Get a 360 now, or wait until the Arcade drops to $200.

They are too close to tell, only fanboys say one game dominate another in the graphics stage but in reality they both look so good people want to play both and want to own both. Hardware wise the 360 can produce better graphics but because it uses the dvd, the compression of textures degrades the quialty bringing it down, and with the ps3 it has a worse graphics processing unit so it produces worse graphics then the 360 but because it has blu-ray the compression of the textures is not nearly as bad as on the 360 so in the end the games looks pretty much exactly the same.

I can't say which is better. But what I can say is the PS3 has the best looking games that are out right now. But the future could tell a different story. I really don't care which has the better graphics because my PC beats them both. I care about which one can widen my game selection the most as a PC gamer. That is the PS3.

REAL TRUTH:

X360 had bether graphics in begining

PS3 is catching up

PS3 will probably have little bether graphics in the end because of stronger hardware and blue ray

So far they are just the same, there is no game that can run on one of the console and not on the other with the same graphics.

But but .....tha Cell is a monster with lots of powerz , the megaflops are countless and everywhere .

Or in the real world they are very much equal and i own both of them so in know , i still think the PS3 has the nicer hardware design though .

Both have great games now so you can't go wrong with either one .

That's the best answer anyone could give you, Mango. With multiplats, which game looks better will depend on the game, but I have found my PS3 exclusives look better than my 360 exclusives do.

That said, go with the one that has the games you want. It's not like one looks like garbage and the other is a bed of roses.

too all intents and purposes....there the same. some games might look a bit sharper on the 360 or a bit more detailed on PS3 from time to time...but overall there the same really.

Not really. Which games do you prefer?

And more to the point, how often do you play with your friend? Because if you get to play most games, then there's little point on a 360.

That's what I did on the Ps1 gen, when I wasn't exactly in as good a financial situation as now. My best friend had a Ps1, and we saw each other at least once a week (if not more often), so I got a ninty 64. No exclusives were behind our grasp. Did the same thing last gen, I gots me an xbox.

They pretty equal but xbox360 games tend to be technically more advanced and multiplatforms tend to look better, run better and be HD on the xbox360.

The ps3.

The ps3 has such great graphics, I refuse to go outside.

Outside graphics suck.

I'm not even being sarcastic, get the PS3.

Games like Killzone 2 will force architects to re-design to the world so it looks better than this game.

Really, you aren't going to get a good answer on this forum. Any rational answer will be quickly drowned out by fanboys screaming praise for their respective console.

xbox games seem to be a bit lighter, but you can a slightly better contrast of colours with the PS3, it's a toughy.

lol doesn't matter what your sig says because there is no clear winner a non fanboy would say that, fanboys would say their is a winner because they favor a console. Plus i didn't quote i quoted the person who quoted you. BTW yead i do on all systems except the craptastic WII.

Trust me man, If you choose the 360, you will regret it later.

Get the ps3.

Your eyes will just be amazed.

If you really dont beleive me, try Uncharted at a gaming store or something.

Or even MGS4.

I and I are on the same page i'm no wii supporter. But anyhoos when i play a ps3 game on a HDTV like MGS4 I can see that the graphics are a lot sharper than most of what 360 has. I'm no fool I like good graphics, 360 is not at a low standard but when asked a question like "which has the best graphics?" I'll go with what i see and PS3 from my manticore eyeballs is the system that has the best looking games. Bar PC.

They are pretty much equal. Some PS3 games shine at some other sections that X-box 360 games don't, and vice versa.

The games matter, not the graphical differences because they are just so minimal.

Im thinking about getting a Ps3 by combining some of my brothers money with my own (money is not a problem.) Meanwhile, my friend has a 360 and the graphics too look amazing. Im hoping I don't miss anything by getting a PS3 rather than the 360 in terms of graphics so basically my question for you is: Is there a diff. between the 360 and PS3 graphics?MangoLlamas

No, there isn't. Some games look better on 360. Some games look better on PS3. The reason being is the PS3 is a beast to developer for (That's changing as time goes on), and the 360(Besides being out a full year) is easier to develop for.

The tide is slowly changing, and we are seeing the PS3 have some graphical claims to fame, but for now, I'll play it safe and say they are about equal.

Yeah 360 can only do 720p but really it all depends on how good your tv is anyway as to how that all matters.

Most 360 games have slightly better graphics. Most PS3 games have better audio.

Not really. Which games do you prefer?

And more to the point, how often do you play with your friend? Because if you get to play most games, then there's little point on a 360.

That's what I did on the Ps1 gen, when I wasn't exactly in as good a financial situation as now. My best friend had a Ps1, and we saw each other at least once a week (if not more often), so I got a ninty 64. No exclusives were behind our grasp. Did the same thing last gen, I gots me an xbox.

But this gen you also may want to take into account what if he wants to play online with his friend, but if you dont then there may not be much of a reason for you to buy one.
