Well as we know Epic has stated that UT2007 will come to consoles. PC first and then consoles.
Advantages (in my veiw)
the game will run better on PS3 than PC (probably) and the Xbox 360 (most definatly)
the game will be smoother graphically than PC (most PCs that is) and the 360
the Blu-Ray disc will allow Epic to add more things to the game that PC and Xbox 360 might not have (built in Red Orchestra, Frag Ops, bonus packs, community mod content etc) this wild claim, i can back up. since the 360 version will not have nextgen disc, the content will be limited, it is ruled out. Heres the juicy part. Pc version will most likly consist of 4 dvds. with the limits of the discs pushed there will be no room for things that were part of the "Make something Unreal Contest" like updated versions of RO, and FO. With the extra space of Blu-ray, these things can be added into the PS3 vesion and come with the game. Since modders will all over the Unreal Editor, you bet a lot of maps will be made by modders between the PC release and the PS3 release. So Epic can take all these modder made maps and mutators and package them on the PS3 version, coming with the game. Assuming this happens, the PS3 version will be nearly caught up with all the content in PC version when it is launched.
Well, mister, what about the modder made stuff after that.... i dont think the console modders' stuff is any good, you might be thinking maliciously. Well, Epic can certainly transfer the PC modder made stuff, and put it up for download on the consoles. e.g. Lets say Timmys makes a map for UT2007 on his PC, its good. so he lets all the world see it and play it. Epic see the maps, and says hey, thats a good map. So they download the maps, and transfer it to the PS3 version with a few enhancments, posting it on the marketplace, letting all the PS3 owners enjoy Timmy's map. and this will happen all over the world and a lot.
Security. we all know that PCs arent the safest enviroment, with all the hackers, spyware and viruses.. its just scary.. Well, since the consoles are just a wittle bit safer, the PS3 Ut2007 will be less likely to be corrupted by other people.
But what about my precious mouse and keyboard, mister? you might ask. Well since the PS3 has like 6 USBs, im sureyou be able to plug in a m/k, and if Sony doesnt make any for gameplay, im sure 3rd parties will. And since Epc wants have a big amount of people buys the game, wthye will most certainly make the PS3 version support m/k.
But wouldn't the 360 and PC have better online play? you might ask. Not nessesarily. Since PS3 is coming out later, they will most likely ripoff LIve or make a better service (free or not... i do not know.. or care) the PC online might actually be the losing side because as many PC owners PCs will be straining to push out decent graphics for game, there will lag. (no loading though, that is confirmed) and with PS3s power sharing tech, there will most likely be no lag whatsoever.
Disadvantages
i cant think of any right now. but when i do ill edit them in later
Note: I expect some flaming out of this post, i wont stop you so just go ahead and do it. I might be wrong in a lot of these things. Most of this came out of my mind, because to me, it seems logical, but some may not, post your opinions of my thoughts here.
