Its like buying a Lamborghini Diablo with a V6 engine. PS3 out-puts Blue Ray movies at 60Hz refresh rate. When a real Blue Ray player does it at 120Hz. Ya, you guys say 360 is gonna have storage issue by next year. News flash to all of you, Sony is gonna have memory issues. Memory is not fixable, but storage is, you can always make it a two disc or three disc game. But what would you do if you don’t have enough ram? Buy a PS4 JK =o)~ PS3 fan boy article,

You install the game on the ps3 drive. Yes the PS3 has one install and one play disk (same disk) The 360 fall update will let us install on the 360 drive. Three install disks with one play disk. After the install any PS3 advantage will disappear. So we are talking about a 25 cent royality that Ms has in place to stop developers from being lazy with fat code. Stupid story about old news that changes nothing as both systems have good and bad points. The all powerfull bluray reads to slow to game off the disk so Sony MUST install. The all powerfull 360 uses DVD and its to small so it MUST install... Both suck in this respect. PS3 disk size means nothing as you dont game off of the PS3 disk.

It looks like the n64 all over again. More power, way less space. It’s a shame games will grow too big for the 360 soon. It looks like the n64 all over again. More power, way less space.

Memory: The other major difference is the memory partitioning, and one of the biggest things that Sony does poorly for developers is their system stuff sucks up allot more resources than Microsoft’s does on the 360, so memory is MUCH more painful on the PS3.We spend a lot more time trying to crunch down the memory for that, as well as optimizing up the graphics rasterization for performance. Storage: That’s the only real advantage that the PS3 has over the 360 from our point of view is the extra space.

Executives at sony plans years ahead, soon good games on xbox360 will have 2-3 and will need a lift fan to cool it dics if that is next gen? I have both I know what I'm talking about.
