Better graphics?
Cheaper?
More powerful?
GTA 4, SH 5 are coming to 360 too. Infact GTA4 is complete for 360, Sony are ridculous with their devkits.
Locked for stupidity, and the fact we cleared out that the 360 is the better system, don't believe me?, look at COD4 for both consoles. ENJOY YOUR BAD FPS, UGLY TEXTURES AND POOR SHADOWS.

MMmhmm...
>_>
Also, there was no actual reason given for GTAIV being prolonged. The XBox 360 has an noisier cooling system than the PS3, in addition to the fact the 360 is more likely to overheat from constant use unlike the PS3.
Another fact, from what i've heard, Microsofts operating system on the 360, takes 12 Gig of the HD space up.

It isn't a rant though, and in the wrong section.

Aye but, this isn't the first time anyone has complained, everyone knows its the devkit.
Alot of multi platform games would of been out even earlier but nooo, Sony has bad support.
All consoles heat up, lol, my PS2 burnt more than my Xbox.

It is.
Google -> define:rant wrote:A rant is a widespread and distinctive phenomenon of emotional speech or writing usually consisting of complaints or attacks, sometimes in a political nature. Rarely, rants express great praise, defending an idea or a person from attack.

Stupid thread is stupid.
No srsly. PS3 is fine, 360 is fine. Now go enjoy your games on your console of choice instead of making ignorant threads like these.

Omfg. The PS3 is absolutely shit at the moment, no matter how hard you fanboys cry at night; give it another year or so. Specs mean shit if you havn't got the games.
