Sound

Despite the fact that the PS3's Blu-ray discs can store far more data than the Xbox 360's DVDs, both games feature the same massive soundtrack and thousands of lines of spoken dialogue. Xbox 360 owners can choose to listen to their own music, but being a system feature, not a game feature, it simply plays tracks over the top of the game and turns off the radio station audio.

Verdict:
To our ears both versions of the game sound the same. Usually the ability to use a custom soundtrack in Xbox 360 games give it the edge, but here the included soundtrack is so good and humorous that you'd be mad to listen to anything else. A tie.

lol you guys are dumb how can you say that the 360 is better when even rock star says that the ps3 version is better

Dude honestly the PS3 is nothing special. Besides the fact it has Blu-ray...The PS3 7 core processor is complicated to program and the pS3 graphics card lacks the strength of that of the xbox 360.

Everyone agrees the PS3 version is better and now you people have to come along and start showing off. Imbeciles.......

Bunch of PS3 fanboys. Look at the video comparison provided, it speaks for itself. PS3 version is blurry as shit.

umm dosent the PS3 one run in 1080p and has 7.1 uncompressed audio?
Yeah even rockstar said PS3 one looks better

The problem with using the same TV is that you MAY have the settings tweaked to look better when the 360 is plugged in via HDMI.

I know with my TV, I have to adjust the settings depending on the device I'm using. Using the same settings accross all inputs won't give you equal results.

If you tweaked the settings, I bet the PS3 version will look just as good color/sharpness wise. The aliasing is another story....though I've heard every other site report the PS3 was better in this respect.

Regardless 360/PS3 owners are in for a treat by the sounds of things.

Where is your quote from rockstar Ted? All I haved seen is one particular employee give his pref. Hardly the company saying it is overall better....And Jim, you my friend are the imbecile. I have seen many opinions on this game, hardly all claiming sony is better. I have both consoles, and still up in the air at this point. Both have positives and negatives. How about how the ps3 online version od the game continues to crash? Now it is completely offline. You are so right though with your brilliant comment Jim. Your a robot. I love my ps3 but I F*cking hate all the sony Trolls... F*cking idiot

Z, the game runs in 720p and can be upscaled. Now the word is thre ps3 version isnt even 720, but something like 690p. The way i see it, if it makes the game look better in 690p fro whatever reason fine by me, but it was the sony fanboys who went ballistic when halo 3 was said to be less then 720p

Well said, lets leave it at that shall we?

Great video either way

JT, perhaps you should stop showing off as well. I actually own both consoles but nearly everyone has agreed the PS3 version is slightly superior. Calling people robots, Sony trolls and "****ing idiots" isn't the best way to get your point across, you silly little ****.

how can you just dismiss the OPTION to use sixaxis,just cause you don't like it you can't take a point off the ps3 version.At least for some people it will add to the game.

the xbox 360 has always been a better consol because it has more games and a better online system , the graphics are not that different between the two though as long as you have a good hd lcd that is calibrated correctly.

Lol. Anyway, some people appreciate the "warmer" feel of the PS3 version.

Regardless of opinion, they have covered the bases well and clearly the video shows that. Nice article either way.
