Trailers? SD Trailers? HD Trailers? Trailers featuring tailers of other
trailers? Trailers of Blu-Rays that feature trailers of trucks with
trailers attached?

And maybe a background of a trailer?

Actually, on their behalf, they DID release the TimeShift demo that LIVE has
had for weeks... and the Pro Street demo which LIVE has had for about a week
or so.

Awe. You were doing so good up until you had to mention this. *sigh* ;-)

Next week is Uncharted the demo. That is by far my most important and
anticipated demo. I have zero plans of getting Time Shift or Pro Street but
I am very interested in checking out Uncharted.
Now if only MS or Sony could get a ACreed demo out.

I'll agree with you on that. I'm definitely interested in seeing and
playing the Uncharted demo. I hope it lives up to the billing. That will
be one PS3 game I will be buying if it does.

On a side note... Timeshift DEFINITELY looks better on the 360. I
thought the PS3 demo was UGLY. It was damn near BLURRY.

Timeshift wasn't that hot on the 360 either. At least not to me. I didn't
try the PSN version and I have no reason to since I didn't care for the 360
demo. I am just tired of generic shooters regardless of what new gimmick
they offer.

Did you try the NFS:Pro Street demo on PSN?
I am wondering if EA is finally showing the PS3 some love. It was an ok demo
on the 360 but it doesn't quite live up to PGR4 as far as handling or fun
factor.
I actually enjoyed Sega Revo more than the Pro Street demo. The next racer I
will be picking up is Burnout Paradise.

Oh well I guess I'll power up my PS3 before I leave and just download
everything. (except TimeShift)

PSN is free, that's worth everything to an American right?

We tried the Pro Street demo last night. I LIKED IT! I haven't tried it
on the 360 yet... but I thought the feeling of SPEED was tremendous on the
PS3 version.

Now why would you say that? I gladly pay for X-Box LIVE. It opens a
can of "ass whip" (sorry, bad wrestling joke) on PSN right now in every
respect. I, unlike some, live by the token... YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.

Absolutely right, as evidenced by the fact that XBOX Live is now
almost empty of Americans because they've all gone to PSN.

I played the Pro Street on the PS3 but I want to hear your opinion after you
had a chaance to play both.

Time Shift is definitely better on the 360.
I don't care for the game on either but it just appear to work and play
better on the 360.

that's why the PS3 costs more than the 360.

That's exactly right, actually. You get a Blu-Ray player for that extra
money, while the 360 is sans a Hi-Def disc format.

OK, just played the 360 demo.

Honestly, the 360 version is sharper. Looks more colorful too on my
screen. (Both systems use component video cables at 1080i. I use a Sony
Grand WEGA 70" LCD Screen.)

Frame-rate seemed pretty close, but I think maybe the 360 was a bit
"quicker."

I'll be buying the 360 version.

Definitely looked cleaner and played smoother on the 360.
I guess EA is never going to do these consoles seperately. You would think
with their resources they would.
