So here's the challenge. Take a look at these two images. One is a screenshot from a PlayStation 2. The other is from an XBox. Both were taken with Monster Cable S-Video cables via a Radeon All In Wonder video card. The game in question is Max Payne, and the images were snapped from the beginning of the Tutorial Mode. The question is, which image was taken from an XBox, and which was taken from a PlayStation 2? I grant you, for reasons I have been unable to rectify a screenshot from one of the consoles resulted in an image with black margins around it. The video settings were identical in both cases. So which is which? I don't want guesses. If you have an opinion, I would like to know the reasons behind it.
