OT: I don't think it's a big deal if you can't actually tell, as a viewer, that it's from the other console, but I own both and so maybe that's the reason for my complete lack of caring about the competition. Still it is misleading so I see their point
There's something much bigger going on here something beyond videogames. Hmm, isn't Xbox an American product? And haven't there been a lot of foreign developers talking shit on MS recently. Oh well, I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

OMG, so you think it was a British Petroleum executive on the grassy knoll shooting Kennedy so that aliens could take over the White House?For.I.Am.Mad said:
There's no conspiracy theory here. The Advertising Standards Authority is just flexing its muscles so it avoids Government cutbacks. It's also pulled a British Telecom ad for being misleading on broadband speeds.
It's really not that huge of a deal, but still... if they're going to be showing off one version, they shouldn't be showing footage from the superior version and hope no one will notice.
Not how it works, mate.Akihiko said:
I would be JUST AS BAD if they took the uncompressed video directly from Square-Enix and fobbed it as a cutscene from the game.
And compression has a HUGE effect on video quality. If the data is not there, then the detail cannot be there as well. One of the biggest cons in HD video at the moment is to fob off resolutions like 720p and 1080p as "HD" even though the bitrate is barley higher than standard definition.
Keeping the bitrate and quality of algorithm the same, 480p and 720p will appear to have the same quality with both upscaled to 1080p. Xbox 360 is forced to use very low bitrate for the MANY HD-cutscenes in FFXIII. Bitrate is the key and 360's DVD's just can't hold enough.
Also the advert didn't JUST show pre-rendered cutscenes but also live-rendered cutscenes and also actual gameplay footage... all from the PS3 version. The ad-standards agency found the difference to be significant.
But who cares, it was a crap game anyway.
What is more telling is how sloppy Microsoft are to have done this or allowed an ad agency to do this... I mean this just inevitably lead to the official "360 sucks by comparison" and "we caught you trying to cover it up in a really lame way".
I still worry how much Xbox 360's development negatively affected the development of FFXIII, the 3-disc structure forcing the game to be more linear... I don't know about that at least.
Snooty British Aliens at that. But don't worry, Mel will save AhhhMericaH!merman said:
