I am planing to buy a next-gen console soon but am currently struggling between the Xbox 360 and PS3. So, is there enough of a graphics different between the two for it to be actually noticable?!!? Note: I am not going to be picking a console based on graphics. I am just seeing what the Escapist community thinks.
It is the online play that matters. which is why xbox kicks its butt.

PC + Crysis = EPIC WIN!!! seriously if you people actually think that there's a difference between 360 and PS3 graphics then I weep for you and I say that you all need to play Crysis to see a REAL game (graphically speaking of course)

Spken like someone who's truly never seen the difference.
There is a difference, it's just not enough to be a selling point.
Truly. I only noticed a difference when some gaming site did a side-by-side comparison. And even then, I thought "Is that it? The rocks look nicer. Fascinating..."
Anyone saying the difference is huge is just trying to be a prat, pretending their eyes are so trained that they can tell that the iris of someone's eyes is better rendered on the 360.
Why do you keep referring to multiplats over something like Killzone 2?
Because it's obvious that a First-party exclusive is going to look better than the Multi-platforms, especially with the amount of time Guerrilla had been working on it. It's impressive, yes, but it doesn't prove that the Xbox 360 is incapable of doing the same thing.

Besides, you don't compare apples and oranges. Comparing two of the same games on different systems is more accurate for figuring out what particular strengths and weaknesses of the competing consoles.

All I can tell, is that it depends on your T.V. more than it does the console. If you have the HDTV to go with it, get that PS3.

When a game is developed for both systems, there is no difference really. However, when it's made exclusively for the Ps3 (unfortunately not that often) the difference is quite noticeable.
that's not true. cross platform games almost always look better on 360, because the methods needed to compensate for the ps3's wacky architecture doesn't translate over to 360 or PC.

all you need to do is go read some of eurogamer's "face off" articles if you want proof. Theyve probably compared close to 100 cross platform games so far. and not those retarded vid comparisons like gametrailers (which are completely useless because of the macroblocking). they have lossless screenshots overlays. in depth dissection of resolution, AA/AF methods, texture detail, frame-rate, screen tear & load times.

note: I own a PS3 & 360 & gaming PC.

And I congratulate you sir, for failing to convince anyone and for wasting long posts on a "troll".
I give photographic evidence to show that you don't know what you're on about.
You think particle physics can be shown in a car crash.
Enough said.
So you post a poor photo that still isn't quite as bad as the screenshot and you think that we should be impressed by a physics engine that can do some primitive particles.
It's quite alright if you are wowed, just don't expect the rest of us to follow.

"Enough said" should've happened a few posts ago, but you just keep replying to a "troll". What is wrong with you?

I chose the console with the most games. AKA: The 360. The PS3 had a pretty weak line-up when first released but is getting better. Especially with GoW3 on the horizon.

I however will be sticking with my 360 just because I can't afford that George Forman right now.
How would GoW3 affect the Ps3's lineup if gears of war is a 360 Exclusive series? ...
He means God of War 3.
As does any human being who has a basic understanding of precedent when saying GoW 3.
woops >.> I thought he meant Gears of war, seeing as thats how GoW is usually used in my experience...

One would think the fact that it doesn't have anything like that would be proof that the 360 is incapable of it
I have both systems, I dont play them side by side or anything, but I honestly dont see any difference. I dont notice any difference for blu ray either, looks just like normal DvD to me. And most people havent seemed to notice that although theres a couple Ps3/360 Exclusive games, They havent noticed that almost every game is shared by both consoles, and they all have the same graphics, I dont care what you say, but ive bought a few of the same games for both systems - and the graphics are the same. Maybe someone else with Highly trained 200000/200000 vision or something, might be able to see a slight difference (ZAWMG SEE LOOK ROFL THAT GUN HAS A BETTER BARREL ON PS3) But I dont. The 360 seems capable of everything the Ps3 is.

Number 1 criteria for getting a networked-enabled console: Just get whatever your friends have!

Amazing graphics does not always make a good game!

Honestly, graphics are not worth talking about. Some games look better on certain consoles, but it's hit and miss which ones. It's all about how much time and cash the developers put into each port.

And yes, a good PC blows both 360 and PS3 away. Played Crysis, Fallout 3 and Dead Space on a 4870 x2 and 3.8 quad core - amazing! But I should hope so, as it'll cost you five times as much as a console.

OP - don't bother listening to fanboys drivelling on about the miniscule graphical advantages of their console in certain parts of certain games.

I got bored of this cr*p decades ago. Commodore 64 was the winner. Period.

There is zero difference between the 2 consoles at the moment.
But the day that they actually DO tap into the PS3's "power", as all fanboy would like us to believe, will be the day I am enjoying even superior graphics on the X720. Sony has lost this generation, especially with their "ten-year-plan".
