ps3 or 360?

[Mystyrion]

ps3 install size = 6gb
xbox install size = 1gb.

I'm not sure what you are getting at here. The video shows that he is downloading the exact same thing on different consoles. Unless you are pointing out the fact that the xbox 360 has consistently smaller install sizes for the same thing.

as you said, everything varies, so both of your arguments are invalid.

I think you are taking that statement the wrong way. I meant that the two numbers you posted are completely different and could have been from any game and any patch.

There are no variables when its the same thing for different systems. If the xbox has consistently smaller patches for the same things to both then again, the xbox wins again. If they are adding different things and the xbox is consistently smaller, this also just shows the the xbox is easier to code for and usually has less bugs off launch.

From my experience (roomate has an xbox360, I have a ps3). PS3 games all look better. Dunno whats up with your skyrim link thing. My roomate loves how the PS3 version looks, and so do I.

Also, I'm saying that its irrelevant whether you wait 10 minutes to play a game for 20-1000 hours, or if you're waiting 3 minutes. If it were an hour vs. 1 minute it might have a case. But you're only going to download and install once before you're playing for the next 24 hours or however hardcore you get.

Did I really just have to explain all of that. I should have just said "**** you, xbox360 fanboy."

Apparently if i have an SSD hd and an integrated video card I clearly will just ****ing blow someone away with a sata drive with a 1000 dollar video card. Just because my game installed faster. Obviously that means my shit is ****ing ELITE.

I own both systems. I'm a fanboy of neither, but most of you are being fanboys of the PS3. I'm trying to bring some balance and a different perspective into this thread.
As for the link just google Skyrim PS3 vs 360. Almost all of the screenshots you will see the xbox trumps the PS3 graphically in this specific game.

You're right, the difference isn't monumental and I already stated that that alone is worth the extra 60 bucks you pay a year. But its nice to have, especially when you switch from a old xbox to a new one, just the same way you would with a PS3 (which I have done with both). Redownloading all of the those games or even transferring them isn't fun.

As to the last part, I said nothing of technical specs and how that has any relevance is beyond me. I never have stated that the xbox 360 trumps the PS3 in every situation or that every situation like this one applies to all of the consumers.

EDIT: Also in terms of raw power, the xbox's GPU alone is more powerful than the PS3's. Problem is that it shares RAM with the rest of the system, where the PS3 has its own dedicated ram.
The SSD that is in the xbox is only in the 4GB model and only applies to that 4GB. The installation on the video is done on the HDD which both systems use 5400 RPM. There is no difference.
