What's wrong with PSN? It seemed to be downloading at a decent clip on my ps3.

Glad I decided to wait a few days to pick which version to get. PS3 it is...

Did you read the same article that I did? :/

Yes it is. It's more than any console will cost and the upgrades are a lot more common (non existent on consoles) (source: I'm a PC gamer with a 'decent' rig).
And why not add the third option? Because it wasn't asked. PC gamers (even though I am one) are like Vegans. How do you know someone is a PC gamer? Because they'll tell you ... over and over.
This is really OT though, which means OFF TOPIC, as in, the PC shouldn't be mentioned in this thread at all when it's between 360 and PS3 versions.

It is not a GLITCH.
About the minor graphical difference, they have next to none impact. Especially not as big as asset streaming issue.
Here is a comparison of the Trees on both version.
The lack of proper aliasing doesn't make the trees any better on 360.
Indoor Reflection being lower quality on PS3
Nothing much significant here. It's not like the reflections are of particularly high quality on 360.
It's not a huge deal to be honest.

But R* games are always better on 360!
I did. Negligible nitpick differences mean it's down to controller preference.

Crazy Ken vindicated. Cell has won.
Its been on 98% for the last 45 minutes now on my end >_>

Wow, I never thought I'd see the day DF picked the PS3 version of a MP game.... Since the two games are so close though, it sounds like it's great for gamers, with no obvious "$hit copy" out there like Skyrim or Bayonetta.
It isn't but you know, given that the only advantage to the 360 version for me is the pad, it's kind of ironic.
Again, i'll double dip on PC and i'll play the online there.

What's also strange is that he was the one who posted the last two faceoffs on Gaf where 360 got the nod, but was somehow late on this one for some odd reason.

Agree completely. PC gaming is not cheap to get into if you are starting from nothing or a junk computer. I don't see how people are building sweet ass rigs for anything under $1000 unless they are waiting for crazy deals or something. I built a computer last year, researched everything I needed for a LONG time before buying (which is daunting and a hell of a task in itself when you aren't familiar with the stuff), and compiled what I thought was a pretty good system for games, and I spent around $1700. And I didn't even go nuts on the graphics card or any frills of any kind.

Your damage control in this thread has been amusing. Funny enough, the 360 version doesn't even need it.
Yeah the 360 version has a texture load bug but has a better frame rate.
To not declare them even is weird.
.
I want to get the PS3 version, but the 8GB mandatory install is why I can't. I only have the 40GB model, and I'm pretty much out of space. I need to buy a new hard-drive, but I'd much rather get a new PS3 at that point as future proofing.
Anyways, I have a 250GB model of the 360, which is why I'm leaning towards buying it for that. Guess the best thing is to just wait it out. Maybe I'll get a newer PS3 in the future or a PS4 and GTA V will be announced for that.

We all know DF is biased for Sony.
Seriously, fps advantage is not clear cut if you read the article.
Ah they both had advantages in certain areas in framerate.

You missed the part where the framerate is sometimes better on PS3 too. To declare them even would be weird. They are clearly different, and the pros and cons do not simply cancel each other out.

Seeing the game in motion on my TV it made me wonder ...
WTF were they showing in those initial trailers?
WTF were they showing in those initial trailers?
Why exactly are people against this kind of examination? The only reason "I" could see someone being against it is if they had a stake in the "console war", really.
It's interesting stuff and demonstrates how developers tackle different problems and overcome challenges.
Also, in most cases, the differences aren't that close so it's good to have information that spells out the differences for those that care. If YOU don't care, however, just ignore it and realize that the articles aren't for you.

Here is a comparison of the Trees on both version.
I don't know if it's my browser, but I'm not seeing this comparison
The lack of proper aliasing doesn't make the trees any better on 360.
Yeah it was mentioned that the trees does not look appealing as a result
Indoor Reflection being lower quality on PS3
Nothing much significant here. It's not like the reflections are of particularly high quality on 360
Wasn't that only in regards to one (single) mirror in the player's apartment, I don't believe it was based on all reflections in the game, so if anything maybe this can be patched similar to the big daddy texture issue in bioshock PS3, what do the kids say these days....errrr... a glitch.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
It looks very much like a glitch/streaming error, in some places its like there's one layer of textures missing from the ground textures, very reminiscent of the skyrim issue.
Watching the videos is a better indicator, the green and blue lines are almost always apart. The frame rate difference is understated.

Not sure if true. I have no blurry ground textures.
Can these problems be fixed with a patch?

Even Quaz51 is back. I feel we have come full circle.
He is the guy who dropped the GTA4 PS3 sub-hd bomb back in the day
Install first disc only: mushy textures
Install second disc to HDD: mushy textures+ pop in
Install second disc to USB: no one has tested yet

Gotta love the "hahaha PS3 is winnar" posts. Reading the article seems to indicate negligible differences, other than the ground texture issue. But I guess those that own PS3 exclusively need to claim their scare multi-platform related victories when they can.
What's interesting is that I was at a friend's house last night and we noticed several texture related pop-in issues on my PS3 and far fewer on his 360. Maybe the difference is that I have an older PS3 and he has a newer slim model 360?
I wonder if this might be a "your mileage may vary" type of thing.

All we need is some Alan Wake screenshots now, eh schennmu
Ryse is seemingly filling that gap now.

is PAL version same as NTSC version though? different screen resolution for example (and refresh rate though that shouldnt matter)
I bailed on 360 version due to this DF article and picked up PS3 instead, but image looks a bit blurred to me like over aggressive anti aliasing or something

It's good to know that if I cave and buy it for the PS3 instead of waiting for the PC version, I'll get the slightly better version.

my local target only had 360 CE no PS3 ones, and I was their first customer this morning.

I've played both versions and I just can't really grasp how they can sway the recommendation so heavily in favor of the ps3.
There's a real weird vibe going on... ontop of the leaked files showing a ps4 and PC version but no mention of an Xbone version. I hate to be a conspiracy theorist but I feel all this is leading up to another GTA exclusive deal with Sony once the new generation gets started and what we are seeing now is just the beginnings of that relationship.

This does not apply in the HD generation.
