Nigger, please. Anything that was a multiplatform game looked like shit on it compared to the 360 or PCs at the time. The only games that looked good on it were its exclusives (like Uncharted games) and some multiplats (Final Fantasy XIII) that were designed Primarily with the PS3 in mind.

Only now do I realize this! I shouldn't have even bothered upgrading to the next generation of consoles because this one was as good as it got. Most games coming out today are just remasters from previous generations (particularly from the last one that this console was a part of.) It's the same game, just with a few graphical tweeks here and there. Why should I bother re-buying the same game all over again? I should have just quit gaming after the PS4 came out and stick to playing the huge back catalog this thing has.
I wish I could just go back in time so then I could save a lot of money and use if for something more productive.

Ps3 used proprietary cpu arch so you needed a good programmer that knew ins and outs of this hw architecture. Exclusives were made with hw considerations in mind and they were great. Basically any other game that used complex hengine had half assed hw abstraction layer for the ps3.

The Ps3's CPU is just a PowerPC core with what is essentially an embedded graphics accelerator. i.e. a coprocessor designed to perform transformations on large blocks of data.
It's an unusual configuration for a consumer machine, but not something completely alien. PPC is a very well-understood architecture but requires different performance tuning to take advantage of its strengths in parallelism, something which is very common today.
All these myths about the magic of the Cell are 100% marketing, and people still fall for it.

Xbox 360 had better graphics most of the time, 2x to 4x antialiasing, locked 30fps and ran at a true 720p, PS3 ran at worse resolution, subhuman framerates and had no antialiasing, only its core titles (god of war, uncharted, LBP, anything by scej) escaped that fate.
>easily upgradable HDD in all models
Not easy at all, you need to unscrew the console, put in your new HDD and format it so the PS3 can read it, 360 had easy access to it (press a button on its side, done) and if you tossed any random laptop hard drive in it it would work.
>better exclusives
I'd take gaylo odst, forza and a dozen great SHMUPs over (((the lez of us))), (((killzone))) and (((uncharted))), even to this day the PS3 only has tales of graces f, god of war 3 and demons souls, and it got shit multiplats on top of that, compare SC double agent on PS3 vs the one on 360 or even the OG xbox, shit looks like a chink bootleg and runs at a silky smooth 10fps.

wha? Did you mean a period instead of a comma? Waggle's greatest obstacle isn't the technology but the implementation. Replacing buttons is replacing buttons
>Controllers weren't redesigned for the sake of it, tried and true works if you let it
they almost let the boomerang slide through. But yes, PS3 controllers are just as comfy as PS1/2
>Easily upgradeable HDD in all models

The 360 HDD is shit without a mod chip. It only works with like 4 WD drives, and comes in a proprietary case. And you can't use an external because they artificially capped the space you can use although once the bone came out they increased the cap to 2TB
