I'm in Miami and I just went to Circuit City and they still don't have the game in stock. Their ad says that's available today by 2:00pm. Don't they have a guarantee that if the game is not there by their advertised date an hour, they give you a $20. gift certificate ?

The scratch resistant coating makes sense, but it "feels better" than lame-o DVDs? :lol :lol :lol

From my experience with Circuit City, all they will do is give you a rain check, which allows you to receive that deal even after it expires, giving them time to get the product in stock. You don't loose anything but time, but you don't gain anything for the hassle and wait either.

For those of you that are worried about the game being more "watching the game" then playing it, that is not the case. The first mission is more watching then playing, but the rest of the game charges you with completing most of the objectives. There are only a few situations where the AI teammates took down most of the enemies.

While i can agree on many game (looking blurry on ps3 , like NFS pro street or Timeshift demo for exemple) this is just plain, plain and plain wrong for COD4. It does looks the same , not crisper on 360 at all. Ill do pics later tonight and you will see, maybe even the contrary of what you think ( but ill check my tv setting to get the same image treatment for both) . DO you have the ps3 version at least?RSTEIN said:

You can also get this deal price matched at BestBuy, just bring in the advertisement. Other retailers might pricematch as well.Hammer said:
I dont know how anyone can pass up on that Circuit City deal. Even if you beat the game in a week you can turn around and trade them both in for close to 45/50 if you take advantage of whatever trade-in deals they have going on. Its basically the price of a rental.
What is your gamertag?

No, I don't think so (although one poster said they noticed stuttering on the PS3 version - I haven't seen it). The differences are very, very small. Some people agree with me (that the 360 is a bit crisper) others don't. You cannot go wrong with any version, seriously. They're both fuckin awesome.

Most reports point to minor texture quality improvements and shadow maps for 360 version. But all say it's very close.f@luS said:
Not sure if the less than HD resolution thing has any merits yet, but I'm sure either way, it will be entertaining when the pixel counting dude @ B3D has his say. :lol

Werent there reports that the PS3 ver was runnin in some odd (lower) resolution? Mybe that explains the crispness.

I played the first hour. There is no worries, get the PS3 one. Looks hat and plays hot too. Jumped into 1 multiplayer match and it was super fun. Leveled up once and now I need to go to work. See you online. This nitpicking in here to make one version better than the other is dumb. You are getting the same experience on both platforms. I was super impressed with the visuals/presentation. I didn't even notice an instant of slowdown either.Synless said:
Sorry if I have missed an earlier post, but I have been wondering...
I know COD4 was developed with a proprietary engine, which imo is great due to several of the current engines performing differently on different systems. However, I was curious as to weather there was one primary code with platform ports, or if the code for each platform was handled separately. I do recall hearing of some middle ware that would allow development on all fronts simultaneously (even mac formats,) however I'm mostly sure this is still in development itself. So, how did IW approach this situation?

You dont yet you seems so sure . I have to say, ive seen 99% saying it looks the same, 0.5 saying it looks better on 360, 0.5% saying it looks better on ps3. Anyway , it doesnt looks less crips / more blurry on ps3 at all.RSTEIN said:

I don't know... never heard of that before!

I don't know. In my opinion, a lot of the 360 multiplatform games are a bit crisper. I'm not a technology guy - i don't know if this has anything to do with memory/TV calibration/chipsets/etc.

Because i dont feel like it? i never play with GAF guy , and never game my GT or PSN id here....its not "xbox" exclusive . But everytime someone asked me this , i gave a photo....you will have yours as soon as i finish working, with my 360 COD4 in my left hand pointing my middle finger, with my 360 ELITE in the background......and a paper with "f@lus" on it, i swear :lol (last time i did the same photo , it was on the VF5 thread i guess") . No point of lying at all...TheDuce22 said:
Mojovonio said:
Now you see...he didnt....and i dont play with GAF anyway
RSTEIN said:
No secret here, because shitty port are running in a lower resolution on PS3 , thats why it crisper on 360. Take the last one i tried , NFS & Timeshift , you can clearly see it. It has the same kind of "blurry iq" as Halo 3
RSTEIN said:
No, I remember it being something with the contrast, that when you compare the games side by side, 360 games have more contrast and they figured out it was the Nvidia chip.
I can't remember where I read it, but those are the details I recall.
Its really not an issue, as I said, you can fix it with your TV settings.

The trend as of late is to develop on one primary platform, then port the code for the multi platform. This does tend to cause slight differences, as code must be optimized for each platform rather than ported and tweaked. However, I have seen some solid ports as well.
Though I can't say this with any sort of conviction, I assume most developers use the 360 as the primary platform due to ease of development and a *currently* larger user base. This could be why some feel the 360 looks crisper or cleaner. Note this will not apply to all games, and would be a case-by-case (for lack of a better word) issue.
