Which with how we know the console works, theyve made it completely up to developers to do so.

When Killzone 2, absolutely sucking up the power of the PS3 can support 720p and 1080i, then why cant the others? Ask the developers. They are not adding it.

Happends on wii too (see madworld no 480p)

The 360 upscaler approach would be ideal, but if the developer wont support the res, dont buy it until they do (see burnout post release 1080i patch).

The holiday patch that changed the Dashboard destroyed the Xbox UI. It's awful now. Awful.

I don't think many people feel that way.

I am not crazy about the NXE look, but the old menu is just a button away. The new functionalities put it over the top though (such as installing games on harddrive).

I'm just way, way more impressed with the PS3 as a 'networked home device'. It seems directly intuitive, you hook it up to your home network, you stream whatever you want onto the home theater. We were watching TED Talks and looking at vacation pictures on the damn thing, not a game in sight.

It is a thing more likely to be owned by an adult, is what I am saying.

There is a lot of functionality the ps3 is missing. It can't read but a few music formats. The wireless sucks ass and there is no excuse for it. I plug my ipod in it and it doesn't read it. I attempt to stream shit to it but then it screams with a network error, for which Sony has no response for.

Attempt to do the same things with my xbox and it works flawlessly.

User error.

And keeping Apple faggotry away is a feature.

In a far less aesthetically pleasing manner! They ought to just include a lollipop with refurbished 360s, once they send 'em back to you for the RROD shitcanning. Candy Land: The System.

As a console nonpartisan* this generation, I'm liking the PS3 more and more.
