Just got back from Circuit City and they refused to honor the free CoD3 game, saying the ad was a misprint. I'm really getting pissed off on spending my lunch hour for these "bait-and-switch" attempts. Looks like I'll be going for the $5 Target gift card deal.

Has anyone bought the PS3 version from Circuit City yet? I'm just looking for some kind of official confirmation that the "buy COD4 get COD3 for free" deal applies to the PS3 version as well.

I stopped by there at lunch to see if it was ringing up at $29.99 and it did not. Also, they said there was nothing on the screen about a free game. Sounds like the free COD3 deal is not in the computer yet or does not exist.traveler said:

At that point I'm speaking in generalities, not about IW. I asked the question regarding IW in an earlier post (#1626)
With the "lead platform" as PC, code still must be optimized for the processor setup of the various consoles. Much of the fundamental code will stay the same, true, but performance is a very different beast.
Wheres Dk05 when you need him. :lol
Perhaps it has something to do with Xenos' scaling abilities, perhaps not, but I cannot deny that the 360 version looks sharper and more "high resolution" than the PS3 version does. This is true even with both consoles set to 720p. There is a clarity and pop to the 360 output that I simply don't get with the PS3 version. It's similar in some ways to how GRAW 2 fared on the PS3, except not quite that drastic. I am not very tech-savvy, but I think it might actually have something to do with level of detail. The 360 version pretty much has the same level of detail at all times, whereas, the PS3 version seems to have a soft appearance in certain areas. I know how discerning you are, Dark, and I would personally recommend that you get the 360 version. But the PS3 version is no slouch either, it's the best looking game on the platform (overall imo).dark10x said:
I mentioned it earlier but the PS3 version definitely sounds better, so that is a plus.
one system looks a bit softer and slightly lower rez textures as compared to the other system.
can we give it up already guys? obviously both systems are the same in this case. let's stop already with "I don't know, but to me the [PS3/360] version just seems to have sharper detail and better textures than the other one. But the other one stsill looks great."

I picked up the 360 version at Circuit City today and got my free copy of Call of Duty 3 and a free poster with it. A friend at work went with me and got the same deal. Can't speak for the PS3 version but the deal is definitely being honored on the 360 side.
I suppose we'll see. I ended up with the PS3 version.
I find that the PS3 looks better on my TV. I use HDMI set to "Full" on the PS3 as my TV (Pioneer 5080) can actually display the full range of colors (rather than simply crushing the blacks). I also find that PS3 tends to deliver a slightly sharper look.
I've done a lot of demo comparisons between the two systems and have become used to the look and feel of each. 360 via VGA looks very nice, but I use my VGA input for my PC. Right now, 360 uses component.
Are there any differences between the assets used in the two versions (textures, models, etc)?

sorry. I didn't mean to go into you specifically, and I didn't mean to single out the 360. the 360 was a typo. both "sides" are doing it.JB1981 said:
It's like looking at two different items that are blue and asking people to tell you which item is "bluer". Every one will have a different response. We really just need to drop the comparisons at this point. I know this has been a huge deal since the birth of multi-platform releases, but when it gets as close as CoD4, we just need to let it go.

I just got back from Sunnyvale Circuit City and they didn't have either CoD4 or CoD3 in. They claimed that they will probably get copies of CoD3 in with the shipment. Is this the case or should I not bother going back to this store during my lunchbreak as there's no way I'll be getting the free game there.

I'm wondering the same. I spend my lunch hour at work trying to get copies, but I'm wondering if there will be any more at other CCs after work. BTW, the CC I went to is notorious for being retarded and not honoring their ads (Store 3111, Schaumburg, IL).
Today; I went to my local electronic shop. When I arrived at the game corner I already saw the boxes for the 360 anc PC version. I was like "Yeah" because I expected also the PS3 Version to be there, but I was wrong. The PS3 version of Call of Duty 4 is coming on the day after tomorrow. SHIT >.<
Tomorrow I'm going to Coogne. Maybe I'll find a version over there.

While ya'll are bitching about which version has better textures, I'm enjoying the shit out of this game. Normally I would go through the single player campaign before hopping online, however the addictive nature of leveling up, and just the overall awesomeness of online is what I've been focusing on.

Dude, why don't you move the 360 back to the VGA and get a cheapo HMDI > DVI for your PC?

It's all about exchange rate, man.
I'm in Poland:
COD4 price -
US: 63 USD = 158PLN
Europe 60 EUR = 87USD = 218 PLN
Domestic Price 235 PLN = 64 EUR = 93 USD
After adding shipping cost from other eu country the eu and domestic price would be close.
To be fair, right now I don't know the shipping cost from us at moviestyme.com but afaik it's not a whole lot. Many gaffers use the site. It's not that pricey to import anymore :lol.

Um, you made the claim you saw it yourself a few pages back. Something doesn't add up.

Here's the deal...Shogmaster said:
The PC I use DOES work with HDMI (and my HDMI ports support PC mode), but whenever I switch to another input or power off the TV, the PC switches back to its own LCD (it's a laptop). I've fiddled with it a bit, but never had any luck. Perhaps I'll mess around with it some more soon, but I'm not sure if there is a solution. I have another PC which does work properly with HDMI, but it is also 5x as loud and much to large to hide in the living room. The current PC I use is always powered on and works great whenever I need it.
I really should look at the problem again, though, as I do have 4 HDMI inputs. :\

So the biggest difference noted so far is something like color contrast sharpness output?
Dude, this has gone beyond nipple hair detail at this point.
