PS3 Users Get Screwed- AGAIN!

Well, since I don't have someone with me to sign in with me to my PS3, I guess I'm not so bothered by this.

I do agree with the sentiment concerning us PS3 users getting the short end of the stick. However there are at least a couple "reasons" for this:

1.) Treyarch and Infinity Ward usually design their COD games using Xbox 360 devkits, and when they're all done they transfer it to the PS3 format. The same could be said about all American/Western videogame manufacturers.

2.) Xbox 360 users get their good deals before us PS3 users, one reason being that they pay for their online accounts and we PS3'ers get our online accounts for free (though there is PlayStation Plus, but as far as I know that program only offers privileges such as discounts and possible beta invites like what happened for Killzone 3, which I never noticed until a few nights ago).

BD-ROM can hold more than the Xbox 360's format, but if they decided to put more content into the PS3 version, it creates an "inequality"; we get more than the Xbox 360 users, and they will complain. Generally, a company ports a game to the current generation of home consoles, intent on delivering the same content as each other. Handheld consoles obviously appear very different from the Xbox 360, PS3, or Wii versions, but that's because of technical limitations and what-not.

Above all else, though, Xbox 360 is more mainstream than the PS3. Despite the PS3's price drop last year, which should lead to far more sales of the PS3, I think a "status quo" has been established about the Xbox 360, one that won't change for a long time.....that, and example #1 I mentioned above.

I'm no fanboy, but sometimes I think being a PS3 gamer has unfair aspects in life. :(

Sorry but you're wrong about #1:

brandonNaustin: @JD_2020 #AskJD Is the PS3 version on Blu-Ray limited by the 360's dual layer DVD drive? Seems like less compression would be needed.

JD_2020: @brandonNaustin There is a specific PS3 team that makes that version of the game. It's not a "port" - that's just a myth in the community.
