I think the reason the best looking games on the PS3 have the edge over those on the 360 is simply that they were made by first party developers given the time and resources to concentrate on the strengths of a single hardware system. Many of the top 360 games use a cross platform engine as their base and are not made by a wholly owned studio. The SPUs are also good for post processing and the sheer amount of disk space offered by blu-ray gives more room for detail and high res texturing.
M$ needs to stop worrying about keeping games down to one disk, who cares if you have to swap every few hours, many 360 owners have a large enough hard drive to install the game anyway.
What a pointless waste of space, an iphone you can't fit in your pocket, and isn't a phone, or a netbook with no USB, or keyboard, or multi-tasking, or is it just an internet browser with no support for Flash?
Well at least it's cheap!.........Oh, OK, perhaps not.
I wish they'd concentrate on improving the gameplay instead of including gimmicks no one will use, pretty though it was Killzone 2 was very much a case of mutton dressed as lamb, put those graphics in an engine with good AI and we might have something worth the hype.

Really looking forward to this, i downloaded the demo expecting to be disappointed but ended up loving it!
I had a 360 RRoD after my 3 years were up and M$ replaced it anyway, bonus!
