For me personally, so long as the game isn't going 1 MPH and is maintaining a nice speed with a smooth frame rate, I couldn't care less what FPS rate it actually has, but it seems the rest or a very large amount of the community wants 60 FPS or nothing at all. Why do we want this? Does it really make a difference how fast frames are going by in a game so long as it still works and plays well and isn't moving at the speed of a turtle with an anchor tied to it?

Some good .gifs and stuff have already been posted to illustrate the difference. [b]Yes.[/b] The difference is noticeable; especially with side by side comparisons. [b]Yes.[/b] A lot of the bickering comes from "console warz" bullshit. [b]No.[/b] The above does not invalidate the claims that 60FPS is [b]objectively better[/b] than 30FPS. [b]No.[/b] It shouldn't really affect your choice of console too much. If you like a console, get it and don't worry about what others thing. [u][i] [b]BUT[/b][/i][/u] it is reasonable for those who care about FPS to care about it because they are spending $400+ on a new games machine and they want it to run at a level of graphical, technical fidelity that they feel is up to par for this console generation.
