i have a ps3 and an xbox 360. i will be honest, i used to love my xbox, but now i only play gears of war on it. why? Ps3 load times are faster, theres no jumpiness, and the list goes on. I think its pathetic they would turn the contrast up and turn off many features of the ps3 ( Yes they have a few features turned off, thats why it looks like it does. You can easily turn the features on and off with the Ps3 due to the fact that some HD tvs do not support them.--- and i guess they figured noone would notice..) By the way, as a side note, gamespot has been bought out by CBS, Expect more under the table deals such as this. theres no question that the best looking games in the PS3 beat the best looking games in the Xbox 360. The games they chose to display were created for both systems, therefore- they are only as good looking as the lesser system, they are not going to recode the games for another system. that would set a game back by months. as for the "blur" its because THEY DON'T HAVE THE FEATURES TURNED ON -- TURN THEM ON AND ITS GONE.
