Steve said:I have noticed a trend lately and it might help people understand where other people are coming from.
PS1 - PS2, Xbox and GameCube owners that haven't played the 360 are "BLOWN AWAY by the lifelike PS3 graphics".
Xbox 360 owners are like "No biggy...I gots bling too"
Wii owners are lacking HD but "rocking the nunchaku"
SLI & Crossfire PC owners are unimpressed with all of them
All the while the underlying debate rages on....NVIDIA graphics vs ATi graphics...the only difference is that this time they are in a console.
I will agree with you that when I moved from a PS2 to a Xbox360 I was blown away with the difference in image quality (unfortunately the initial games I got didn't quite hook me, I played Kameo for a while, but didn't really get into the system till I picked up BF2). I am still more interested in the PS3 because of Sony's track-record for having the most and best RPGs (I played Oblivion, hated it, but I might pick up some of the others to see if they are better).
Interestingly enough I was at a Best Buy today to pick up some computer speakers (saw some Logitech 2300s at Office Depot, then some Promedia 2.1s at Best Buy, decided to give the Promedias a try, not sure if I really like them yet, my Infinity Modulus + 12" Inifinity sub sounded better and cleaner, and these things are ungodly bright, but I am looking at one hell of a wiring and set-up mess to run speaker/stereo-audio/subwoofer cables to my reciever/sub/comp-satellites and back from the dining room (where my computer unfortunately has to reside now due to a bedroom too small to support my desk) since my girlfriend apparently doesn't deem and kind of cables running across the floor to be acceptable). Anyway, they had a Wii, Xbox360, and PS2 set up for play. There was one guy playing Madden on the X360, and a big crowd playing Guitar Hero 2 with the guitar attachment on the PS2, no one was around the Wii display.
