PS3 Poll Police: Are comparison videos necessary?

The Poll Police ranted about a hot story this past week. GameTrailers, a site who we have nothing against as a site or as people, were getting slammed by internet-savvy folk for using some questionable methods in their comparison videos in regards to PS3 and Xbox 360 titles. While it's all subjective (the only true method of fair comparison is to rig both titles up to your television and see which one works better for your particular need), it raised quite a bit of flame. So, the Poll Police ask you: are these comparison videos necessary, or do they only serve as gasoline for the fanboy fire?

Are comparison videos really necessary?

Yeah, they sway my purchasing decisions.

Yeah, they're objective and insightful.

Nope, they're not that helpful.

They serve only to fan the console war flames.

We shouldn't throw our two cents around lightly because one writer's opinion might not reflect another and we'd hate to skew our views as a website. As we said, the best method is to do a comparison yourself on your own television -- but that's usually a pain in the ol' behind. Last week's poll? Sure, it's after the jump. Check out the results.

The game is Resistance 2. It's not called Rise to Man. Not officially, not yet. So until we hear otherwise, let's stop calling it that. Even though it makes sense. Most of you thought the game looked at least pretty cool. The majority of you agreed the title really seems like a game of the year contender. It's going up against some pretty AAA titles, though. We personally don't think they'll hit the '08 release mark, but Insomniac has put out a game every year, so who knows.
