So for the past month or so i have been seriously debating on trading in my 360 and spending 300 extra bucks to get a ps3, but im not sure that the sony 3 is coming even close to what it could be, so im tempted to wait, but would like to do it sooner than later so that my 360 game collection doens't grow any larger...

Dont get me wrong some of those ps3 games look amazing, and i think its unfair to comapre the 360 games to ps3 games because 360games are now in what, their 3rd gen of games? and ps3 is just coming out of their first gen. What concerns me is that i've found so far that the 360's 2nd gen games looked a lil better than what the ps3s 2nd gen are looking like. ( if this is indeed their 2nd gen of sonys games) I just need something to push me to go get that ps3 and trade in this 360.

Not to mention that everyday i have to worry about my 360 failing me and i wont be able to trade it in.

Games that currently seem to be tapping into the ps3's power are killzone 2 (will improve), Uncharted, and maybe even ratchet and clank future. (Lair also deserves an honorable mention)

Well it usually takes developers years to truly find out all the quirks and ins 'n outs of a system. Take last generation for example. At the beginning, games were lookin' pretty okay, but in 3-4 years time, when developers really learned how to work with the different systems, we started seeing some truly beautiful games. I think it'll be the same this time around. And that's how it's always been.

Not going to say which games looks visually better than the other, but Once PS3 get to 08 thats when PS3 power is going to truly unleash anyways i think having both console would be better, But if i had to go with one i would go for the Ps3 for the sure fact that its guarenteed it wont break, And 08 is looking pretty good (Im not saying its gonna own just it might*) Also since the Cell is a new CPU and most devs dont know how to use it well now, but once they learn how to utilize each SPu and mange the whole PS3 artitechture you will see the PS3 full power, Also Blu-ray should help Dev ALOT...And please nobody bring up HD-DVD owns blu-ray C***, i h8 when people say that, Really i mean why the Heck would yo u say that....

lol , that game is sooooooo underated, i mean cmon that game owned IMO, Not saying gamespot is biased cuase their not, but i think they rated that game with diffrent standards...That like ratinga DS game with PS3 standards, that game for me deserved a 7, Its a 6 dollar game you shouldent be expecting the same from $6 game to a $60 its makes no sense....That game was innovative and fun.

Hey TC did you miss the 2007 e3 sony's graphics will own the 360 next year and those are 2nd gen games. I could not belive GT5 made forza 2 look like a wii game and KZ2 wow,MGS4 FF 13,R&K the list goes on all are clearly better graphically than anything on the 360 only cod4 for the 360 stand out as coming close to KZ2 imo.

I think it already is being tapped into with the Fall line-up standing out in particular. Some things coming in the fall I believe look better than anything coming to 360 that I've seen thus far and I stand by that assertion.

I forgot about mass effect that looked good at the e3 not as good as FF13 but still impressive.

Yeah it starts.... august with lair, and its smooth sailing from there.

Since that question os covered i got one.

When will 360 get better than gears. sure mass effects has pretty faces, but everything else is on par with gears, not better.

According to my crystal ball, Tuesday, February 17, 2009. Unfortunately the world ends one day later... you have to bet that the PS3 can do something significantly better than what the 360 can do - at the end of the day, which system is right for you comes down to what games you want to play - not some "hidden power" that one has over the other.

Trading in your Xbox 360 would be a pretty dumb move though, trading one system's exclusives for anothers doesn't grow your options - save longer (or wait for another price cut) and get both. If you're actually that worried about slight differences in graphics, build a gaming PC six months from now and you'll blow them both away, even with "maximizing the power" of the consoles.

Thanks guys, some of the posts are really helping. and i am really waiting to see the 360 do a lil better then gears of war. Is alan wake not supposed ot be the game that psushs the 360 to the limit?maybe i read that wrong, but its just a little worrying that if thats true, the 360 is already being maxed out graphical wise. i guess we'll have to wait

I saw a vid on that little big planet game for the ps3 and that made up my mind, hah i thought that was awsome..im debating keeping the 360, but the only game i would keep it for is halo 3, and to be honest the ps3 line up is looking a little better. imo. il decide in the next few days what im gonna do. most likely trading in my 360.

Ive had it for a year nw, and not only am i not happy with the amount of sound it makes, i dont want to worry about it breaking on me or something, and so far ive heard nothing but good things for the ps3

Yeah the ps3 is finally looking great in 2008 and it won't break either I would keep the 360 till jan 2008 for mass effect and halo3 then trade it in for a ps3 cause the line up is insane.
