I really can't tell much of a difference, but from people that I know that have both, they say that the 360 is better, which sucks because I have the PS3.

For the record I have an original PS3 and a XBox Elite. I'm no fanboy. That said the graphics looked much better on the 360. So I'm wondering are they using the same connection methods and settings? I mean are they both using the HDMI connection with same video settings? I find it hard to believe the difference could be so drastic. Did anyone notice the sign? I couldn't read on the PS3. Something doesn't seem right here.

WOOO xbox 360 clearly got the win there well it does in every game haha lol colors are very vivid on the 360, the PS3 seems "uncolorful" 360 has the upperhand considering DX10 if you have Vista and buy fallout3 (considering you have a nice comp) Fallout 3 looks amazing on the Computer and 360

I think that on this vid, they're both good but the Ps3 looks more real. But in general i'd say Ps3 graphics are better anyway, I think the XBOX has too much texture and too vivid colours so that it just looks hyper real and a bit weird. Thats my opinion anyway.

This is the poorest example, ever shown on Gamesradar. The Videos very poor,but he question is which are better, I have PS3 and Xbox 360, to honest both at times look excellent and dark. Which would I buy free online experience PC or PS3.

Not only are the videos not in HD( which is understandable) but the segments seem to be taken from different times of the day on each console. How can anyone bother to tell the difference???

i dont think it helps that the quality has degraded thanks to the small video, but ps3 seems brighter. thats about it, and in this type of game, i wouldnt call that an advantage or a disadvantage. they both pretty much look the same. Whenever people start these comparisons, everyone starts mouthing off on the net. tbh, i cant see a true difference, unless people are nitpicking. the rest of the net is bullshit! im stickin to gamesradar, even if they are sarcastic most of the time!

The quality of the video is so poor they both look like PSONE games, pointless!

I would have to say XBOX 360. It has alot more color and detail. Although... I think you need to do it on the same exact TV for both at the same time of day in each game screen. Oh, and the video graphics from the camera... well... lets just say you might want a better camera, otherwise, people can barely tell.

The Xbox 360 has always been compared to the PS3 and almost every time the PS3 is always a shade brighter in daylight or a shade darker at night.
In comparison, the 360 generally, but not always, excels at shadows, lighting, and color.
The PS3 on the other hand generally tends to excel at area like textures, edges, smoke, that kind of thing.
Just another example of the power struggle of graphics between the two. Fallout 3, regardless, will look great on both! =D

OMG!!! They were the same! thus the video looks awful! I seriously dont know why we keep fighting for what console has the best graphics! If u play a game either on PS3 or 360 are you gonna look how the game looks on the other console, when it actually looks the same!?!?!? video games are meant to be played not to be critized!

Well to me looks like 360 has a bit more vibrant color. and the Ps3 is a little darker but with more realistic colors.

This video is fairly low res and I can't really tell which is better, but

I'm glad they did a PC comparison as well even though I'll just assume it looks a tad better
