HEY EQ, i respect you cause you give us the head up reviews before they post them, matter of fact, Iwouldnt have gotten NCCA 08 if you didnt tell us it was the shiznik, but dude, the PS3, is so got-dam wack, I mean, running at a mere 30 frames per sec. and on top of that, ign ING Group homepage gave it a 7.7, thats horrible for a 60 dollar game, if that bad boy isnt ranked 8.0 or higher, its a waste of dollars..... ANYONE OUT THERE, YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR MISSING ON THE 360, SONY F - UPED WHEN THEY MARKETED THEIR NEX. GEN GAME AFTER THE MICROSOFT DID, NOW THERE PAYING FOR IT, PLUS YOUR BYING A HEAP OF BOO BOO, THAT JUST PLAY IN BLU-RAY, WHO CARE'S I WANT A GAME SYSTEM NOT A DVD PLAYER........

I think IGN is full of poop. (Yes, poop.) So far IGN has rated the PS3 version of Madden 08 the lowest out of any other site I've read.

Granted, the 360 version is more superior, I have no quarrels about that. IGN is taking it in the pooper from Microsoft. IGN craps on every PS3 game except Ninja Gaiden Sigma (which is a fantastic game. It has 60fps, for all the boohooers). There ARE good games out there.

Just because a site says is crappy, doesn't mean it actually is.

I got it on the PS3 and while it is not getting the reviews of the XBOX version it was still a considerable upgrade over Madden 07 on any console. I imagine that by next year both versions will be neck and neck. PS3 will have had time to catch up by then. I do not play any games other than NCAA and MADDEN so it's not that big of a deal to me.

Many people question why SONY waited to put out the PS3, and many of you may wonder why I purchased a more expensive PS3. Well, from my experience the company that holds out longer eventually ends up putting out a better product in the long run. ie Dreamcast came out before PS2 and now the XBOX 360 came out before the PS3. BTW, I was one of the fools that reserved and got the Dreamcast when it first came out. Since then, I have refused to make the same mistake twice. In the event that I am wrong about this, I will accecpt defeat and give up on trying to predict the better product.

the only problem with that argument in my opinion is the that the Dreamcast was the vastly superior system of it's generation, but because of the way Sega marketed it, it having a bit of a weak starting lineup not unlike the PS3, and it not being able to playback DVDs caused it to fall behind the PS2, GC, and X-Box.

As for Madden, this years version crushes the past few years of Madden. The graphics are amazing, the gameplay is smooth, and finally actually has some features again. The AI is much improved as well, but as others have stated in the Turnovers thread, I've repeatedly had players from opposing defenses somehow grab an int that there was no physically possible way for them to do so. And I am getting a bit annoyed that on practically every punt return ARE fumbles the ball. overall though a much needed step up from EA's recent blunders.

the dreamcast was made for 2d... the playstation was made for 3d. that's what happened there.

08's cool... the superstar is vastly improved, some nice additions etc... they made spin moves work like crap in that rookie running drill though for some reason... in the real part of the game it still works fine though.

the PS3 will ruin Sony. the only "exclusive" games they had went out th window a WHILE ago. any "devil may cry" fans here? ya, thats for 360. Any "metal gear solid" fans? yup. 360 too. Sony is boned. Microsoft has enough money to create another system, hype it 3 times as much as the PS3, have it FLOP WORSE THAN PS3 and still have enough money to build a small country our of 100 dollar bills.

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

I am guessing that JG has a 360.
