These fanboy posts make my day especially if they are wrong when they are talking about technical specs of the PS3. It is 2x speed drive, not 1x.
this entire thread is trying to say the PS3 is the "lead version" and yet my comment based on the factual abilities of each platform is "fanboyish"?
yes or no, the 360 allows for full game installs for every game?
yes or no, the PS3 only has partial installs,, based on the developers choice to use it or not. (of which Rockstar is mandating 8 of the 15 gigs)
sorry but, having to run a game 100% of the time, allowing for any Disc Read Errors or overheating, drive wear down and other issues that come with streaming data off a disc, isnt "lead platform" to me.
tell me how not putting the device that would cost me $150 to send it in for repairs, at risk by using it when i dont have to, is me being a fanboy. its called being smart and not using the least stable device to play my games, when i already went through almost 10 years of PS2 and first 3 years of 360 with "cant read disc" errors no matter how clean the disc is and no matter how many times i run a CD lens cleaner disc thru the drive.
i dont see anything on the PS3 box that says "60 more minutes of gameplay exclusive to PS3" both games are the same, they're developed for the lowest common denominator of either platforms hardware limitations, like every other cross-plat game, the only thing left is actual stability and choice of knowing when i sit down for a 10 hour GTA marathon i dont have to worry about anything.
i got both systems right here in front of me, playing TLOU as a matter of fact, but i use the one that allows full game installs for cross-plat games,
only thing im a fan of, is knowing when i install a game, its gonna work 100% of the time. whether 1 version has 1.5 AA vs 1.75 isnt what determines "lead platform" to me and on the same token, my XBL Gold just ran out, if the PS3 had the install option i would of been using that all along, but $50 for gold is cheaper than $150 to ship the PS3 to sony to get fixed if it broke, so ill go with the cheaper and safer bet. sorry if my financial concerns over devices that cost hundreds of dollars and trying to preserve them, come off as fanboyish.
