I can't seem to run half the games I own (including all source-based games). I did a dxdiag test and seemed to fail at multiple points. Here are the results.

Any ideas on what I can do to fix this? I updates my drivers (twice) and got a new copy of dx 9.0c. I can't figure out what the problem could be. Thanks for any help.

[QUOTE="Sephiroth228"]

Because all the good games on the ps3 arent out yet. There are some good ones out though. Think about it. For the first 8 months the 360's game library sucked it hard. But then it got better over time. The same will happen with the ps3.

As for the games cross-platform being better on the 360, that's because they're ports. Ports over to different hardware is rarely as good. The ps3's architecture is completely different than the 360 in that the ps3 relies more on the processor than the vid card, and the 360 is the other way around. To port a game across platforms can sometimes (well.. most of the time) be bad.

Give it time. The ps3 will be good once the games come out. At least the developers on the ps3 are taking their time on their games. That's a good sign.

besides, if you wanna say somthing like that, say the ps3 is about processor power, that's more accurate.

man stfu when people pay 600 dollars for a game system they should expect the best system

How long did it take for gears Of War to come out on the 360? Over a year. It took them THAT long to make a game with amazing graphics. Now, the ps3 hasn't even been out for a year and you're making comparisons? Wow...
