Admittedly, Trench Run on the iPhone is kinda fun. But I'm not really a fan of it as a gaming platform overall.

The PSP Is A Terrible Device When Compared To The iPhone,

On The iPhone The Games Look Better And Are Miles Cheaper !

Im Guessing Sony, Blackberry, Droid And Pre Fans Want To Abuse Me Right Now So Go Ahead...

@Zack-J-T: Yes, because everyone loves the lack of physical buttons, difficult on screen joysticks, lower processor power, worse graphics, etc.

I don't like the Go, but you cannot argue that the iPhone is a better gaming device. The iPhone is a generalist, it does a million things well, but isn't great at any of them.

And no, I'm not a Sony, Blackberry, Droid, Pre, whatever fan, you just can't compare handhelds to a phone or touch PMP.

@Zack-J-T: Since I don't have an iPhone, I would have to factor in the ongoing costs of the service plan. Sorry, but for game playing the PSP is cheaper and gives the player real controls as well.

Except for the fact that it's the best mobile device in the world at browsing the web and is an amazing PMP, and oh yeah, has some great casual games that take advantage of the touch screen and accelerometer. I'm a pretty hardcore gamer but since the Appstore came out I use my iPod touch all the time and literally have not touched my PSP.

@TheCrudMan: Right, what about non-casual gamers? And your personal experience doesn't help at all when making arguments like that, I bought a bunch of games for the iPod Touch that I literally couldn't bring myself to playing because of the controls, shitty graphics and how generally shallow they are. Meanwhile I can't put my PSP down when playing FF7: Crisis Core or God of War. But I wouldn't use that as an example of why the "PSP is better," because it's purely based on my tastes and opinions.

Without the third person stretching straight out balancing between them, this doesn't make much sense to me.

That said, I think I want a PSP just to play GT.

It would also be nice if I can get access to the newer PSP games - like the GT you mentioned earlier.

@ripfire: thats a bit exaggerated. You also have to account for a lot of people wanting a solid piece of hardware that will be reliable and last. There are more than just gaming reasons for buying a system today. Consoles are capable of a very large amount of tasks now.

@imTheKing: "Consoles are capable of a very large amount of tasks now."

That's a bit exaggerated. Although I could agree with you on one point that my 360 MCE extender is really handy on my home entertainment needs. But when people buy a console, chances are it's because of the games.

@TriggaHappy26: Let me ask you this: Name me the top 5 games that were ported from PS3 to 360.

From what I see, there are far more 360 games ported to PS3. Ever wonder why?

@ripfire: Because the 360 has been out longer, therefore has more games. There is no doubt that the xbox has a lot more games by a lot of 3rd party developers. Sony's best games are the ones that are made by Sony companies or franchises loyal to Sony. This is why you have Socom (sony game), Uncharted (sony game), and metal gear 4 (been on PS since PS1). There is no way Sony will allow their best games, made by them to be ported to the rival console. This is the same reason you will never find Halo or Gears of War on the PS3.

@ripfire: The 360 is easier to build for but is capped in how complex games can be. Thats why there are more games, easier development obviously makes for that. As a system, theres no arguing the fact that the PS3 is 95% more reliable and a better machine over all. You seem like your just trolling any posts having to do with the PS3 to justify why your Xbox is better with games. To be honest, I barely have time nor the wanting to play games to such an extent. I work, come home, run a side business and watch a movie now and again. I try not to base my existence on virtual reality.

@TriggaHappy26: Oh please. Only reason they get exclusivity is because they all run under Sony's paycheck. "Franchise Loyal to Sony"? Oh you mean Metal Gear? but I clearly remember playing MGSubstance on the Xbox. Where's the loyalty then? To be fair the same could be said for MS. Even though GoW was exclusive for 360 (paid for MS most likely), the same engine was still used for UT3 which came out for both platforms.

But one thing you will rarely see is a 3rd party initially developing for PS3 and porting it to 360 and there's a reason why.

@imTheKing: "The 360 is easier to build for but is capped in how complex games can be." Is that why 3rd party developers who port their games to PS3 have to "downgrade" their titles that's I'm recently hearing about from a Sony exec?

So now I'm trolling? You're saying that I'm justifying Xbox games are better than PS3 while saying that PS3 "a better machine over all"? Feeling comfortable on your high stirrups?

I have no problem with gaming platforms when it comes to games be it on PS3 or 360 (as long as its good). PS3 as a hardware is spectacular, but it leaves software as an afterthought which pretty much sums up Sony's model.

I give it an official "meh".

Am I the only one who is not impressed here? Seems like you could bolt for xbox's together to do the same thing (with a different game of course). There are no real technological break-throughs being displayed here other than the FED TV. That projector has been shown for over two years now and the PS3 is really just doing what a PS3 does.

@mpjohnst: I disagree, the PS3 has a far superior processor. Four xBox 360's hooked together, if possible, would maybe give you half of a single PS3's power.

xBox sucks!

@TriggaHappy26: No you are wrong. The power of the two machines is very similar. In some areas the PS3 wins, in others the 360 wins.

Sony's original marketing claims about the machine being much faster than the 360 were basically lies.

One of my best friends is a games programmer who develops for both platforms, and he tells me that the two systems are fairly close. So I'm not just blurting out fanboisms like you seem to be.

@LittleJon: Here is a nice objective article explaining how much better the PS3 is. I exaggerated it a bit, but as you can plainly see the PS3 is much faster.

Summation of article:

PS3 = 218 GFLOPS

Xbox 360 = 115.2 GFLOPS

So.... 4 of each is

PS3 = 872 GFLOPS

Xbox = 460.8 GFLOPS

this would make me want to go back to the arcade. i mean it was made obsolete by console tech because we could now all play tekken 5 at home for "free". I don't think anyone would buy 4 ps3's + games + projector just to play this, leaving only the larger arcades to pick this up.

does anyone remember that Ferrari driving game in the arcades about a decade ago? it was a driving simulator with 3 screens and was supposed to be super realistic? i always thought that was cool, even though i was crap at it. they need more stuff like that...
