I don't think that every single multiplat game was better on the 360. the Darkness was scored the same on both platforms and Oblivion was better on the PS3 or the same. It's just a matter of getting the developers to develop the game first on the PS3 then port it over to the 360 instead of doing the opposite. It won't take long though I hope
As everyone knows, Epic has butted heads with Microsoft on several occasions over the last few years. First, it was because Epic wanted the Gears of War maps to be free. Then later, MS got into a hissy fit over user mods in Unreal Tournament 3, something that Epic is very enthusiastic about pushing, and MS cannot stand since in their minds it threatens microtransactions. Also, Epic made a sweet deal with Sony where they would optimize the Unreal 3 engine for PS3, release Unreal Tournament 3 as a timed exclusive, and make a new exclusive IP for PS3, supposedly on the same level of awesome as Gears of War. And ontop of that, Epic is being sued by one of Microsoft's other second parties, Silicon Knights. MS is in a position where they could play peacemaker between Epic and Silicon Knights, but they are currently doing nothing. I'm sure Epic isn't none too happy about that.
Obviously, Epic is not particularly loyal to Microsoft, even though they did publish Gears of War. Epic is independent, and they can basically have anyone publish their games that they want. So that leads me to wonder-- conflicts of vision with MS, recent favors for Sony and multiplatform support across all three powerhouse consoles (360, PS3, and PC)... Is it possible that Epic's partnership with MS might end in the near future? And what could this mean for Gears of War 2? Despite what some people have said, it's Epic who owns the Gears of War franchise, not Microsoft. Microsoft published Gears of War 1, so they technically own that title, but not the IP itself. In theory, if Epic left MS, it wouldn't necessarily put Gears 2 in danger, because Epic could take it with them and have say, Midway publish it instead. But, that would also mean that Gears 2 could very likely go multiplatform.
Agh, there goes my diahrreah of the keyboard. I am probably making a mountain out of a molehill, but I do find it odd that Epic has gotten cozy with Sony after their disputes with Microsoft, and that we've heard no news at all about Gears of War 2, even though Gears of War is freaking huge. In any case, I'm keeping my eyes on 2008 to see what goes down.

One thing I noticed about you is that you actually have a solid opinion, but you come here to say it among all these blind supporters of Microsoft which are just a bunck of kids that live in their own world and have nothing else to say but to accuse you of being a cow ...etc. Other than that, it seems that your pointsare pretty realistic.
so what system do i get the 60gb or 80gb and then what game is best. ive played oblivion on my 360 so i dont want that. i was thinking either resistance, the darkness, or wait for madden (which i havent heard a thing about)nofear1080
First, congratulations on you PS3. I would say get the 60GB because of its BC. You can definitly use the EE chip to play some awesome PS2 games like God of War 1 and 2. Second, if you geta PS3, make sure you get Resistance. if you are into arcade racing, I would say pick up Motostorm, I absolutely love this game, and playing it on line never ever gets old. also if you're into shooters and have not picked up Rainbow six on your 360, then get it for the PS3 because it has more maps than the 360 version. Also Ninja Gaiden is pretty good I heard, but I personally don't own it and never played it. good luck.
