True, although I tend to find ps3 fanboys a bit more hostile.

Only when they can't spell a famous basketball player's last name. I mean, come on, his name is on the back of the newspaper almost every day these days.

Guys, if they tried to pull the wool over your eyes, wouldn't they get rid of the OBVIOUS SIGNS? You guys... I really can't believe you guys are capable of breathing.

Why are you so rabidly in denial that gametrailers is rigging their comparisons in favor of the xbox?

I know you are a microsoft cheerleader, but to argue the contrary in the face of blatantly obvious evidence is kind of insane.

Name123, they wouldn't be that stupid to try and pull something like that, you retard. If they were to try and pull that they would have simply cropped out the commands.

Why exactly do we need comparison videos anyways? Just buy it for the console you actually have. If you have both, get it for the one you prefer. It's really not a big deal.

imagine if it was the other way around, GT used two 360 versions and then deemed the 360 the loser

then all the folks on joystiq who are saying this was just a silly mistake would be bashing PS3 and their fans to no end and mocking the price and everything about PS3 and saying how PS3 sucks so bad that it needs the only way it looks better is by having a 360 beat a 360

I'm so sick of the 360 bias on joystiq comments. Seriously, 360 does somethings better and PS3 does some things better. Stop being fanboys...its no longer cute.

I find that XBOX fanboys are much more hostile just like the company that makes the system. Seriously trashing the opposition is a long tried and true tactic of Microsoft. they have been doing it since the '80s. Reminds me of South Park. If you get caught its cheating, if you cheat and get away with it it is being savvy. True words in business today.

It is the same reason why Top Gear USA is going to suck. Ford might spend $100 million on an ad campaign during the show. If the hosts say the Focus sucks balls NBC is not going to have a lot of kind words to say to the hosts. GameTrailers probably has staff meetings where the higher ups say that they can never show the PS3 as superior or they could lose advertising money from Microsoft. It happenned at Gamespot and it is common practice.

The game is actually quite good other than the drifting level. I can't get above 120,000 points and you need over 280k to get first place. If you want an arcade like experience you can turn on all the drving aids. If you want a sim type you turn them all off. I made it through the Euro and San Francisco races with a good ammount of damage to the front end of my car. The dmage model is pretty good. In the final game you will probably have 4 or 5 damage levels just like Dirt.

One thing I do know is that it matters not if this was a mistake or not because people will believe what they want. No amount of evidence will dissuade someone once they have made up their mind.

I have watched videos on GT for quite some time and when I read the comments, it's always the same. GT has bias for which every system is on top. Right now, everyone is trying to make the connection that shows GT bias but instead they only show their own bias.

In the end, GT credibility will be shot but only to the fanboys. Most people will see this as the mistake it is and move on never caring about the silly war Fanboys have harbored in their hearts.

Thats because it is a mistake. I can't believe the stupidity that is spread around here. Parents really should limit what they purchase their children. We would have a lot less brats (Name123, for example) that think they control the world and that their word is final.

Zeus, simple question. Why do you care so much, that you need to post several times in the thread calling everyone retarded when they criticize gametrailers? It's very strange. Are you on the M$ payroll as well?

El Serpiente, if I'm on "M$" payroll, then you're Ken Kutagari's personal whore.

I'm not calling everyone who criticizes GameTrailers a retard- I'm calling those who have no idea what they're saying retards.

Actually they have been doing this on a REGULAR basis, I've only noticed since GTA4 though. On numerous occasions through the GTA4 they place Xbox on the PS3 side.

Proof yet again why the 360 reigns supreme.

SHUT THE FUCK UP WITH THIS.... !!! DIRE DULL AND FUCKING STUPID...

THE FORMAT WARS are now more of a civil war between the citizens and not the nations.

Stop stop stop.. please.

It's preference... They always say the PS3 is more 'dull' in colouration. Perhaps for example it has a better palette.. Have you been outside at all recently people ?? ?the world is not saturated in glowing primary colours.. it is actually quite unsaturated overall..

I played the PS3 demo... I love it. Haven't compared it to x360.. but I'm sure it's similar, and frankly I, and codemasters, don't give a fishermans fanny which version you prefer. Otherwise they would be console specific.

Seeing how gametrailers is owned by Viacom International (through WhoIs lookup) , and seeing how MS has been shelling out money to Viacom (through Wikipedia see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viacom )... WHAT IS THE BIG NEWS HERE?????!!!!! >=/

Quoted: **On December 19, Viacom signed a five year, $500 million contract with Microsoft that included content sharing and advertisement. The deal allowed Microsoft to license many shows from Viacom owned cable television and film studios for use on Xbox Live and MSN. The deal also made Viacom a preferred publisher partner for casual game development and distribution through MSN and Windows. On the advertisement side of the deal, Microsoft's Atlas ad-serving division became the exclusive provider of previously unsold advertising inventory on Viacom owned web sites. Also, Microsoft purchased a large amount of advertising on Viacom owned broadcasts and online networks. Finally, Microsoft will also collaborate on promotions and sponsorships for MTV and BET award shows, two Viacom owned cable networks.[2]**
