Hey Playstation fans, we know you love our Gears of War, but what's up with the fake YouTube videos? A person by the name of somma12345 posted a video (the one above) "proving" that he is able to get Gears running on his Playstation 3. He even goes through all the trouble to film behind his TV, film all the connectors, and film his controller during gameplay, but forgets to turn on the lights. Yeah, it's one of those too dark to tell what the hell we're watching videos. In the end we're supposed to settle for a elementary explanation of how he changed a few files around, burned a new disc, and voila! Instant PS3 version of Gears. We're throwing our BS flag on this one and warn you somma12345 to never disgrace the Gears name by putting it anywhere near that shiny black box. We're nice though and will cut you some slack, because we understand your pain man ... the world is indeed a lonely place without Gears.
[Thanks, Machiavelli 420]

"What's even funnier is the ps3 fanboys wanting triple A title games for their console so bad, they resort to pretending to play a 360 game on a PS3.

They've got to. There's nothing else to play. R:FOM was nothing more than a weak attempt to fight off Gears. Funny, 3 months after release you don't still hear people talking about FOM and it vaunted 40 player MP. Gears on the other hand...
Quality speaks for itself. Everything eles requires disasterous PR.

Dude,
I don't need my sensei to tell me to show now mercy to this guy!
This guy has a broken brain...but I would still beat on it if given the chance, because he needs some sense knocked into him!
Just remember two things:
1. Kojima-san and the other developers of Metal Gear Solid 4 have said many times that Metal Gear Solid 4 could easily be transferred to the Xbox 360 and the PC with the same level of quality as the Playstation 3 version.
2. Mr. Cliffy-B and the other developers at Epic have said many times that Gears of War could NOT be transferred to the Playstation 3, because it would have a significantly lower level of quality, mainly due to the fact that the Playstation 3 is limited to only 256MB of General Purpose CPU RAM, while the Xbox 360 can use up to 512MB of CPU RAM when it needs to, thanks to its Unified RAM architecture.
Even the February 2007 issue of the Indpendent Playstation Magazine points out that the Playstation 3 has nothing that comes close to Gears of War.

Ummm you cannot use 512MB of RAM for the CPU.
You have to use some for Video.
Only difference is that you can do combos like 300 system and 200 Video, but you can't use all of it for the CPU unless you were planning on outputting No Video.
