Which Operating System is Best for BOP?

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.

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

)

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

I just have a little 23" or so, and it's nothing special. But it does the job

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!

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.
