Round 3 of the Xbox 360 VS Playstation 3 Graphics Comparison. I will seek round 4, and 5 to when the time comes. This is the battle to see which games graphics is the best. It is recommended that you read the full article at GameSpot.

A solid year's gone by since we ran our last Xbox 360 vs. PlayStation 3 graphics comparison. The differences between the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 have diminished with every passing batch of games, but some variation still exists between the two machines. Our first graphics comparison between the two consoles showed that the Xbox 360 looked better on most of the games, oftentimes drastically so. The second graphics comparison showed that the PlayStation 3 looked nearly as good as the Xbox 360 in some games, and actually looked better in a few as well. Now with both consoles well into their respective life cycles, developers have had plenty of time to figure out the nuances required to code beautiful games. With our third batch of games, the two machines seem evenly matched. The two trade blows on various games, each with its own set of advantages.

We've upgraded our capture equipment since the previous installments in the series. We captured all 720p images through an HDMI connection and then resized them for use in the article. The fullscreen shots are, of course, shrunk down to fit onto the Web page. The pixels in the zoomed-in shots are 1:1 representations of the original image captures, but cropped to fit our page width. We compressed the images slightly to make them more palatable for the Web, but they haven't suffered too much in terms of quality for it.

        He is tired of the comparison videos, I'm sure...

        Equivalent of a 'palm to face'....Or more accurately, it is getting annoying, and perhaps bringing on a headache lol ;;

    They say a picture is worth a thousand words (it is a thousand isn't it?) and that pic sums it up perfectly.

    Seriously...when was the last time we took a comparison from ANY gaming website seriously? ANy website has bias, so they'll tip it whichever way they please.

    They're useless. I've seen amateurs do much better at comparisons.

      Simple answer is: nobody does. If you look at the comments here, it'll tell you that nobody wants these things on GG.com anymore.

          A general response to a general statement. No need for a fuss.

    I'm sure we can all agree that the PS3 and 360 both have amazing graphics. There's no need for comparisons, because most of the time the biggest difference will be "PS3 version is slightly sharper" or "360 version has slightly brighter colors" ... which is hardly enough difference to kick up a fuss about.

    This has been done way too many times. Verdict is usually that PS3 does have better graphics, but only if your television is expensive enough to show that difference.

    I'm happy with my 360 anyway ;D Love the Patrick Stewart picture, btw.
