[QUOTE="teemany"]Any gaming experience on the 360 can pretty much be experienced on the PS3--shooters, fighters, RPGs, or any other genres. However some experiences can only achieved with the PS3.
BLU-RAY: To date, I have yet to see Xbox 360 offer the type of experiences like MGS4 or Killzone 2. MGS4 uses Blu-ray's disk space for the most awesome presentation of story ever. The amount of space needed for its cutscenes and uncompressed audio simply cannot be done on the 360. Killone 2 offers the most impressive graphics technologies currently available on home consoles. Killzone 2 uses over (40?, 25?) gigs of diskspace. Total DVD space for Xbox 360 is only 8.5 gigs!
To those who still question the advantages of Blu-ray, answer me this: Xbox 360 came to market easier to develop for as well as a one-year head start. Why then does the 360 lack any game that can match the PS3's MGS4 and Killzone 2 in terms of the quantity and quality of sights and sounds? Gears 2 might be comparable to MGS4 in over all graphics, but MGS4 wins in MORE contents (space consuming but amazing cutscenes) and more uncompressed sounds (I am not sure if Gears 2 uses uncompressed sounds). Killzone 2, well, it is pretty much the accepted console graphics king if we go by current reviews.
Cell: This is what allows PS3 games to have more stuff on the screen at the same time--number of players, explosions, vehicles, gusts of winds, blades of grass, etc. while offering HD quality graphics. Because the 360 lacks the Cell processor, it is my belief that it cannot offer the type of games found on the PS3--games with Resistance 2's graphics and 60 players online or Killzone's graphics with 32 players online. If you still doubt the cell processor's advantages, then answer me this:
Xbox 360 came to market easier to develop for as well as a one-year head start. Why then that good looking games on the 360 do not have as many things on screen as those on the PS3? Before you say having lots of things on screen doesn't matter, try playing Killzone 2 and see how everything comes together to create the most atmospheric wartime environments ever.
Sixaxis: Many people have said that Sixaxis is a gimmick. Their ancestors probably said the same thing about chopticks when they first came out. Motion control is relatively new in console gaming. Have you used Killzone 2's sniper rifle? Best yet, have you played Flower? I encourage every PS3 owners to try out Flower. Some of you might not like it. But most will no doubt think it's worth the $10 price. It offers an experience unlike anything ever offered on a home console. In my opinion, Flower alone proves Sixaxis is a clear advantage to have on the PS3.
All of this discusion leads to one glaring problem with Xbox LIVE. You are asked to pay $50 a year, yet you cannot play the games with the best grahpics, the best sounds, or the most number of players. It does't even allow you to play the most relaxing game ever made. As such, I am one the many gamers who think Xbox LIVE is a rip-off.
I agree with you but please check your facts because first of all Killzone 2 is on a single layered disk so it's under 25 gigs, second how many players we have online isn't because of the cell it's because we have dedicated servers (with virtually no lag) but did you know that the cell processes in each scene of flower 100,000 blades of grass while simultaneously processing 200,000 other objects on-screen.
