Maybe it changes detail on the fly. GTA IV did that. For example when you were indoors it appeared much sharper however as soon as you left, let's say, Nico's apartment it looked as if a bit of detail was lost.
Could RDR be the same? In small towns and indoors it's sharper and more detailed and out in the world it's lower detailed?
It's too hard to debate with a few screens. We need Digital Foundry!!

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
What am I supposed to be seeing in the banners? They look the same. Both versions look the same. B3D has access to two different PS3 screens.goonergaz said:

The textures look fine on both of them. Anyway, both versions look good. I doubt there will be any meltdown here.
I find comparisons of mutli-platforms games like this funny.
There are usually bigger factors to decide which version to get if you own a PS3 as well as a 360 (if not the choice is simple), unless either version is seriously flawed which does not seem to be the case here. It's basically an identical experience game wise.
Factors like:
- PS3 running more silent / less noisy.
- Game provided on sturdy scratch resistant Blu-Ray disc.
- Free online gaming.
For me personally I greatly prefer the DS3 controller on the PS3.

PS3 GAF.
If you only own a PS3, you will not be disappointed graphically with this game, if you own a 360 too, you will not be disappointed graphically with this game. There are some jaggies, and motion blur, but it's still a damn enjoyable experience, and the graphical differences between them will not stop any enjoyment.
It's just like GTA IV redux

True but outside of that, PS3 RDR looks really good.Tom Penny said:

Last year I played 80% on PS3 versus 20% on XBOX 360 cause of great game lineup and this year I will be 70% I assume on PS3. My 80 MGS4 YLOD-ed 2 weeks ago. I fixed that one and also got new slim. Both work fine now. 80 version was quite loud before fix. Now 2 PS3 are on par (all are very quiet) with my 1.5 year old jasper XBOX.
1. on XBOX you can Install once on HDD. no noise, quite and silent.
2. Install once play eternity, no worry about scratches.
3. Approx 2.8$ a MONTH ?! is this a really problem ?!
And maybe it's my IPS, moon phase or something else, but PSN works 10 times slower here than XBLA.
and yeah I play more on PS3 but personally BOX controller is more suitable for my big hands.
I just watched some of this stream:
http://zh-tw.justin.tv/x4ryuusei#r=duQyKaE~
it´s a stream of the PS3 version.. and it looks very good..

OK, but usually I read from XBox fans they don't like installs and those harddrives are pretty expensive. Here arcade units seem to be well more popular than those models with harddrives, so I think for different people there are different factors involved. That was my point.

I'm not sure if this is true since 360 at 1080p @ a Full HD set means less scaling:
360 set at 1080p @ FullHD set = 640p upscaled by the 360 at 1080p.
360 set at 720p @ HD Ready set = 640p upscaled by the 360 at 720p then upscaled by the TV at 768p.
More scalings means worse IQ...that's the reason sub-HD games like Ηalo 3, MGS4, CoD and Conviction look better when upscaled at 1080p especially if there's also a 1:1 pixel mapping option available (Just scan e.t.c.).
BTW the PS3 version looks decent though 360 version is clearly the way to go if you want the best version...great IQ.

My 120GB HDD cost 47$ last year. I assume it's cheaper now.
I bought usual laptop HDD and applied correct firmware. works like charm since that
without HDD install yeah it gonna be loud and bit slow as well.

I played MP free roam tonight with my brother for around 5 hours. Stopped at least 3 or 4 times an hour in awe at an amazing vista, sunsets, stars etc. I ran into no framerate issues, no screen tearing. The only pop ins or whatever I noticed were few and far between, and it was usually just a small bush. My brothers PS3 slim froze once. The game looks amazing, runs amazing. Also, voice chat works perfectly in my experience online. I hope the 360 version is just as good, if not better. Everyone should get to enjoy this game.

Not that many, really. TV's are designed with TV specifications in mind.
If you are worrying about the image quality of the world, you are better off saying that all TV owners should have Full RGB off, and all those using monitors should have it on. You will likley have more people with the wrong settings if you tell people plenty of HDTV's are made for Full RGB, because most people will think they're special and switch to it.
Enabling full RGB will crush your blacks. Some people think it looks better because it hides flaws and makes games look like screenshots. It can make colors seemingly 'pop' more, but you'd be wrong to think things are displaying correctly.

you'd think at some point the console manufacturers would realize that people aren't using optimal settings for their TV and would include a color calibration tool...Class_A_Ninja said:
I'm just glad my TV has a built in isf calibrator. When my friends were over after I got my TV they kept commenting on how amazing the HD feed looked in comparison to on other HDTVs they've seen.
Class_A_Ninja said:
There are very few TV's that support Full RGB, Sony's X Range (in the Uk at least) Support this, and when used increase colour ranges without effecting brightness, as FULL RGB doesn't when tv's aren't compatible, but gives what appears to be a better contrast.
I prefer FULL RGB set to on though for most games with my TV's Brightness increased slightly.

I usually find these comparisons informative and quite useful.
And after reading this thread I've decided to get 360 version, because it seems to look better, run smoother and load faster (and has my friends playing online). But I have never consider those things that are mention in that post as factors when deciding which version to get (except that last part about controller, where I prefer Xbox controller).

1) silent? LMAO
2) you still need to load the disk up each time...that's where the scratches happen
3) yes, when you have several kids who play online and each would require an account

Looks good to me. Here's a quote from the chat that I thought was amusing:

this thread is so hot that it even garnered the attention of mikeb. :lol

I'll take half the loading times, a better framerate and higher resolution over a "scratch proof Blu-Ray disc" and having to pay 50p a week for Live (which I do anyway). Neither of my 360s have ever scratched discs just by playing games. If you have kids, they shouldn't be playing an 18 rated game like this anyway.goonergaz said:
