Which Operating System is Best for BOP?

...and, ONLY BOP, or other Flight Sims yet to come?

PS3 or xBox 360?

Hmmmm. From what we know so far:

The graphics on the PS3 are crisper than 360... But there is a lot of screen tearing that the 360 doesn't experience.

There are flight stick issues with the PS3 version... There are fewer problems with the 360 flight sticks.

I would say overall 360... But I am a bit biased since that is the only console I own.

imho 360, its cheaper, the controller is better, and the joysticks are better, no real diference in picture. I have a 360 and my brother has a PS3 so i've seen both. PS3 is more stable and doesnt over-heat, cus i dont care what MS say they HAVENT fixed it, my brother's elite went up the swanny and that was brand new.

[FOZ_1983]

id have to go with the 360.


Fo gameplay etc they both run pretty much the same. Both are HD so the pic will look great. What wins it for the 360 though in my opinion is the multiplayer.....

comunication on xbox live seems to be more fluent than on the ps3. More people on live talk.

Does the ps3 not come with a headset? or does it cost a pretty penny to purchase?

[M3-SRT8]

Soooo....

I'm leaning towards an xBox 360 and a T-Flite Hotas Stick. Proper Rudder (analog) is more important to me than POV. I think I can live with 4 position POV.

Of course, if they correct that, I'll have it all...

I'm an old PC based Flight sim player, from the olden days. This will be my first console.

I have both, and will be getting BoP for both 360 and PS3. And all this talk of screen tearing on the PS3, I don't doubt it happens. But so far, I have not experienced it once. Maybe it's my TV, but I've just got a small little 23" and nothing on my PS3 has had screen tearing.

[Raw Kryptonite]

TFlite is a PS3 only stick. The Saitek Aviator comes in either 360/PC or PS3/PC (2 different sticks, get the right one). The pc Aviator that's been out for years isn't usable on consoles, you need the ones actually built for the specific console. For the 360, that's the only stick you can buy new. Not perfect, but the price is right, at $50.

It happens all the time in cockpit for me I thought it was the demo I downloaded from europe, so I deleted it and downloaded it again from US and it still does it.

What is type of TV? Mine hasn't done it at all. Maybe its just your TV getting old, but it could be just the pixilation or something? (I'm not really a TV expert, I just plug it in and watch :cool:)

I bought my 52" phillips LCD 1080p last year.
Several other ps3 people have had the same issue.

[Soviet Ace]

I just have a little 23" or so, and it's nothing special. But it does the job :D I'll be sure to tell you if there's any tearing in my screen when I get the full version. But the demo has given me no problems.

Someone else said it is because my screen refreshes at 60hz instead of the better 120hz but who knows.

Does the same thing in the final game... sorry! :oops:

You already got it? Where are you from?

That would be bogus if it is just the ps3 version that is doing this. Like SovietAce says he has no problems and several other people as well. It looks like it is a mixed bag.

It can't be a mixed bag. As someone posted before, screen tearing has nothing to do with your TV, it's in the game. People who aren't noticing it are either blind or oblivious.

Yes I thought this as well. I hope they can fix this though.

hey don't knock oblivious, as Woody Allen said " I don't mind dying, I just don't want to be there when it happens."

I am from france and the official release date here is today (sept 3rd).
But I know somebody working in a videogame shop that allowed me to get it yesterday just after their delivery :-P

And the screen tearing is in the game everyone has it!

[M3-SRT8]

Soooo....


For a Newbie like Myself, who has a 50" Pioneer Elite and a Yamaha & KEF based Surround System, with a KEF Sub, it's an xBox 360 and a Saitek AV8r-03 Stick.

No Tearing, and, that's the only stick option. Hope the Rudder works good.

Right?

[rufuzmitchell]

yeah, i have screentearing as well, especially in cockpit view...I'm using a samsung hd ready that will go to 1080i. Some say it might have something to do with having a flightstick plugged in,but i have played with both a stick and a regular pad..it's still there.

While unfortunate,it (the screentear) doesn't affect my enjoyment of the game in the slightest.. Normally i nitpick about such things,but in this case it's forgiven.

[Zatoichi_Sanjuro]

If you have both consoles I'd opt for the 360.

The performance differences are negligible but I guess it's subjective as to how much screen tear you can take.

In multiplayer I personally perfer the quiet of PSN as opposed to the constant 12yr old "urban" anger on Live. I'm guessing a game like this won't attract that mentality but you never know.
