HDR seems to give sharper colors, without it, pictures seem to look a bit pale (washed out). Here is an example from Crysis engine showing off how a picture would look like with / without HDR:

HDR turned OFF on the left side and ON on the right side


Here is a recent screen captures from NBA street homecourt









You be the judge, which one you think implements a better HDR effects; X360 or PS3?

I think HDR does more than giving sharper colours... Anyways xbox 360's appears to look better due to sharpness.

Wait until games that were not just ports, god... BTW, RSX can do HDR, and with Valve's new trick, 4xAA. The 360 can only do 2xAA, but that's still REALLY good (Gears of War...c'mon, I need an XBOX !)

both look great, I like the fair comparison. I have to go with the 360 because it looks a bit sharper than the PS3 version, not a huge difference though.

Whatever that "Valve's new trick" is, can it be done on X360? Also, it seems what you're saying is the PS3 can only pull off HDR+AA through tricks, whereas X360 does it naturally.

Practically identical, but 360 looks a tad bit sharper, not to say PS3's don't look great though.

valve's 'trick' is that they emulate HDR. they've been doing it in HL2 since Lost Coast and DoD, so it could work on X800 series cards that don't even support SM3 that is supposed to be required for HDR. so, the thing is - it's fake HDR. whether you care or not is up to you, but it's not really what it says it is.

Only in 480i/p resolutions. It's possible to do it in 4xAA, but, just like GoW, they avoided doing it because that would also but a lotta stress on the daughter die. Hey, I'm not saying the PS3 is better or anything, at all. I have a PS3, and I want a 360. Currently, I have no PS3 games, because I know they aren't good (except maybe RFOM).

HDR makes you go wow!
cant wait to see what Itagaki and Team Ninja do witht here next and biggest project: Ninja Gaiden 2- considering how good Sigma looks, a side project running on an emulated version of their old xbox engine, with there new suped up engine and the skills from them- its going to look unimaginably good- seeing what they did in the past, expect NG 2 to make use of HDR through contrasting art forbidden>

 Umm, no, the 360 does 720p with 4xAA and HDR with little to no cost to the GPU's performance.

little cost, not none. and beyond 720p, the 10mb of EDRAM used for the AA with little cost is useless as 10mb is not sufficient beyond 720p.

If they take the time to tile, but there is a give and take issue there. When developers take the time to do that, there is great results...but you lose the ability to use memexport. It's just a trade off, and what the developer needs.

yeah there is only a minor edge for the 360 visually, and it wouldn't even be noticable at all if they weren't side-by-side

I can hardly tell the difference, with the exception of the first comparison with the Bulls logo, but I think the 360 is slightly better.

The Xbox 360 looks better in pretty much all of those pictures.
