Just wanted to throw my 2 cents in on NHL 08 for the PS3 if anyone was interested in that version.

I found the IGN review to be a bit off the mark when it comes to the framerate. At no time did it look like I was playing under strobe lights. As a matter of fact the only time the game chugged (I've played 4 games in "play now" mode thus far) was during cut scenes (the anthems, after a goal is scored, after a puck goes over the glass, etc) and even then it was minor. I would say the game runs exactly like NHL 07 did last year on the 360. One thing the PS3 version does suffer from (as do all EA titles on the PS3) is that its a bit washed out color wise when compared to the 360 version. Some reviews made it sound like this game would be unplayable because of the framerate. I didn't find that to be the case at all.

Just wanted to note that I'm playing the retail release and not the demo that came out today.
