I have the demo of MLB 2K7 on PS3 and 360, and the sound on PS3 is much better, it's way more immersive on my surround sound system. You really ffel like you are in the stands, you can here the people screaming out clearly and all around you. The 360 game most of the sound only comes from the front speakers and they are lower. Also FPS's that I own for 360 (Rainbow Six and CoD2)could sound better, overall the noise is either distorted and not clear on 360 compared to like Resistance on PS3.

Well Blu-ray does have more room for higher quality sound samples.

Agreed. Having integrated wireless and BT support is nice too.

You don't have yoyur 360 setup properly if you're only getting sound out of your front speakers (this is called stereo sound.)

360 does full surround sound on every title.

What cables are you using for sound on your 360?

The sound is lower? Well I wonder what you should do. The volume doesn't only go up to 10, you know.

I have my 360 connected same way as my PS3 with optical cable, and I said most of the sound not all, some sound still comes out of the surround speakers but they are much lower in volume and clearity compared to the PS3. It's really night and day between the 2 at least for the MLB 2K7 demo for sure. But then as I said overall when comparing the sound between the FPS's I have for both sound on the PS3 is also better mostly it's more clear and louder and utilizes the surround speakers better

And you have the audio properly setup in the 360 dash (digital 5.1 audio?)

Maybe it's your system, I have an expensive HT setup and I haven't noticed any real difference in the audio between the 360 and the PS3 (I use toslink for the 360 and HDMI for the PS3, both full 5.1 obviously.) They both sound superb on my system, and the levels are consistent in all titles.

Try the uncompressed PCM 7.1 audio in Resistance and then compare it to a 360 game...then you will see a huge difference

The difference is zero, unless you have a superior sound system.

I have a 5.1 setup, I don't have the space in my apartment for a 7.1 setup.

(keep in mind that my 5.1 setup is no slouch either, worth over $2,500 for the speakers alone.)

So, you're taking his word for itand saying "take graphics over a little better sound"? What's this mentality in SW of trying to look "honest" and then stab in the back?

Are the graphics in the 360 so much better than the PS3's that you're willing to say it's a bigger difference than a sound difference you haven't even heard?

This is retarded, so many people having their little methods of trying to look good and then go around with little things other people don't notice -- maybe except me -- and bellitling things freely. Perhaps this goes to the metagame of SW.

HA HA

You're forgetting that the Playstation 3's malfunction rate is nowhere near as high as the Xbox360's. Your 360 is more likely to crap out on you the next time you play it.

than you have your speaker system setup wrong or your 360. Cause I have mine hooked up to my 6.1 insignia sound system, and every title sounds amazing at 5.1 dolby digital.

I bet PS3 is better with audio than 360. I don't have a PS3, but SNES sound chip was Sony, and it was amazing at the time.

Oh no, don't bring sound quality into SW. Sheeps think the Wii has true surround sound and keeps up with the other three. SW is deaf to sound quality.

You can still enjoy uncompressed 5.1 PCM then...if you have a receiver that can do it via HDMI. Sounds at bit rates in the 4Mpbs range kill DD5.1 and its 648kpbs bit rate. The depth, dynamic range and clarity is startling.
