This kind of video really is a hot topic debate and one which some gamers have had enough of, but Game Trailers have felt they should post an Xbox 360 vs Sony PS3 video that is a little more in-depth.
The video below shows a comparison of Burnout Paradise, you get to see the Sony PS3’s HDMI and component compared to the Xbox 360’s VGA and component. In theory the HDMI should be better as it’s known in the electronics industry to be the better connection.
The comparison does look good, but the game moves very fast and makes it hard to capture the same footage.

they did not use the ps3 HDMI settings set to full in display menu,my doesn’t look the same it looks better.
Whaaat?? Thi$$$ Look$$$ fi$$$hy if you know what i mean. On christmas i took my PS3 and a cousin took his Xbox 360 and there was a big difference but not as this article details. The PS3 graphics were way better using HDMI. I think microsoft is doing a great job buying out reviews, but an awful job fixing the “red ring of death” on its 360 consoles.
They all pretty much seemed the same just the 360 vga looked jaggie to me. Yes the colour for the ps3 hdmi was off but anyone who has been paying attention knows thats an easy fix.
Now I just need to sell my Wii (but I can’t girl friend bought it for me after the 360 rrod) So I can get a ps3. But I brought it up and tried to sell her on home and little big planet as games she would like and then she throws this trip about how I am insulting her after she got me a wii and its not good enough, I think she got it so she could play it. No nookie for me
I don’t think the movie, tv or music industry thinks that digital download of torrent files are the future, because we all know thats what your refering to and as for your comment on people being fools for thinking blu-ray being superior to digital downloads, in what way is digital download any better? The best Hi-def digital download is inferior in quality as the content is compressed alot. You purchase a 500gb hdd and you fill it with high quality HD movies you purchased which isn’t that many by the way. Then you break your hdd, ooops all that money wasted on the hdd and the movies. Don’t compare blu-ray to your bad copy of an illegal downloads.
To the topic, GT have been usig the HDMI with the RGB limited on. which is an unfair test, the RGB should be set on full to show how HDMI is better.
You here that the PS3 version are washed out but that just on GT comparisons. I can have RGB limited on and still get plenty of colour on my TV if you get the settings right. Some people will have poor quality HD sets and have it in its defaults tv settings. If you have a bravia, you can get plenty of colour out of it without the RGB full on. With rgb on full the colour is much sharper and you get more colour.
The way GT are comparing the cable with one cable being limited is like comparing 2 sports cars around the track and limiting the BHP by half on one car.
…And how do I edit my spelling mistakes?
I have digital cable and I can not imagine downloading 50gigs plus I have heard alot of providers will start charging by bandwidth used which means anyone who thinks they can download everything will soon be in for a crazy suprise.
Now that is just what I heard no one can believe anything they hear on the net
But in Calgary someone got charged an insane amount for using his cell phone to download from the net. Hope it doesnt resort to that with providers.
I find it pretty funny that the PS3 fanboys continue to make pointless arguments again and again. You take jabs at the hd-dvd people for supposedly backing an inferior format when in fact you are no different. Your precious PS3 people lied to you and I know it hurts which is why you can’t handle the truth. They spend so much time on blu-ray development and less time on software relationships that your constantly geting smoked by the “extremely inferior wii and xbox 360.” I find it so ironic that the PS3 or “supercomputer” as sony would have you believe is so amazing and great that they are not even close to catching the competition. Why is that? Is it no one can afford the supercomputer PS3…maybe…let’s look at gameplay, if it was so superior in this area why is it easily beaten in sales by the inferior Wii. How about sotware…with the amazing library of the PS2, the PS3 should have been a no brainer yet there the XBOX sits with a much higher game catalog and much higher game attach rate. The bottom line is that the PS3 exclusive titles have done nothing for the system while the Xbox exclusives have done everything for them. Let’s see the Xbox 360 is supposedly in inferior in very way yet it still continues to beat the PS3 ’super computer”…hmmm…how is this possible? Sure you can say all day long that microsoft bought the rights to everything but the real question is why didn’t Sony. They let you down PS3 fanboys. Instead of courting gaming companies to make you great games, they were handing their money to movie studios for blu-ray. It must feel really good to know you have the best blu-ray player when I am assuming you bought the PS3 to play games. Without great gamplay and excusive great software titles the best you can do is third place in a race of three. Must hurt to be in third place against such inferior competition. Congratulations!
Next up. Graphics and how the PS3 didn’t live up to the hype. Anyone remember all the CGI movies from E3 in 2005 and 2006 that showed what the PS3 was supposed to look like. Must suck to know you are not getting to play all those great CGI movies. Must suck to know as well that at best your PS3 supercomputer is only slightly better in graphics then the “far inferior” Xbox 360. After E3 the Xbox 360 and Wii were already dead before they even started yet here we are in 2008 with the PS3 sitting behind them. How could that happen?
The only real question you should ask youself and the proof is in the pudding here is…if my PS3 supercomputer is so amazing and great…it can even cure cancer…why is it not dominating the world over and over again. The Wii and 360 should not even have come close yet there they are up in front in this race while all the PS3 see in its rear view mirror is hd-dvd. Must feel good PS3 fanboys. Keep enjoying you high-def movies while US GAMERS are enjoying OUR great Wii and Xbox 360 games. Again congrats!

If there is something I find that I would like to reply to in one of your posts I will do so, whether aimed at me or not.
@ fact finder
Not everyone who favours the overall performance of the PS3 oin this forum is a PS3 fanboy. I personally am just making an objective analysis on what I have seen so far. As I own both and have played several hours of gameplay on both, I feel entitled to do that.
The PS3 has only begun to use about 30% of it’s power on it’s best looking game so far - ‘Uncharted. Darkes Fortune’ and has a long way, as well as alot of exclusives (ICO 2, God Of War 3, MGS4, GT5, Wipeout HD, Resistance 2, Ferrari Challenge, Ratchet and Clank, F1, FIA World Rally Championship, Final Fantasy VIII…the list goes on) to look forward to. Microsoft have Halo, GOW, and Viva Pinata…wow.
Fact Finder,
That is what I have been saying the whole time. You said everything the way I see it and it’s so true. PS2 sold some rediculos #’s and all PS3 had to do was capitalize on that. Instead they Pimped their fan who are gamers to push a Blu-Ray Player. No “game” plan what so ever and now there playing catch-up. They forgot that the Playstation is a game system first and not a movie player. They should have pushed the fact that games were being made with new High capicaty HD-Disk and a blue laser for better quality and the movies would have followed on their own. Instead they sell it as a Movie player first with gaming abilities. It’s even packaged with a Blu-Ray Movie. The 360 comes packed with 2 games most of the time. I got 4 when I bought my 360 on the day PS3 launched.
