Theres no slowdown on the PS3 version at all. It's utterly identical to the 360 version. Both maintain a fairly reliable 60fps

Go take a look at Eurogamer for a more complete comparison.

Nope, because I wasn't the only one who saw it. Get a lot of enemies on the screen and the action jerked (frames dropped), and there was some nasty popup as well.

Not blaming the PS3, (I've seen similar things in games like Halo3 on the 360), but I still think the 360 version of COD4 is better.

.
There was something wrong with the PS3 then as far as I can tell. One of the immediate things that struck me about PS3 COD4 was how good the port was, compared to others, and how smooth everything is.

Nothing wrong with the PS3 at all, (it plays everything else ok). It looked like dodgy coding to me.

I've seen crap on both consoles.

NFS Pro-Street on a PS3 in John Lewis looked terrible, so bad I though it was a PS2 game being played.

Tiger Woods Golf on the Xbox 360 has some very bad graphics, really annoying things that make me not want to play it, specifically the character and the way the arms disappear behind the clothes all the times.

Well you've probably bought your 360 now, as you were talking about the old skool games, you can or will be able to download a lot of the original classic PS1 games from the PS3 site.

To be fair, Live Arcade is stuffed with old school classics

Maybe it was just the character I created, but I found the arms always popping behind the body/clothes and generally a bit of a distraction. The actual course and gameplay is OK.

I played Double Dragon on 360 and it looked like it was from the 80s, so there
