Glad I'm getting the PS3 version, as if I had a choice.
Interesting...Fjordson said:
The suggested fix there is to install it to a USB stick, which is what I would do on my 360 anyway. (4GB slim with a 16GB USB stick.)
Admittedly, PS3 is my console of choice though so if they are close in quality PS3 would be tempting... I have the 360 version on pre-order because I figured it would be the better version by default.

All you PS3 dudes must have some tiny hands. I will never understand the appeal of that controller haha

I went with the 360 version(preordered) even though everything that video seems to favor the PS3 version. If I run into the texture problem and there is not a fix within a week I just trade it in for PS3 copy.
Bethesda is saying it has nothing to do with an HDD install but are looking into the problem.

Cool, patch incoming then. How could the lead platform even have an issue this big? LOL.

Half of me is sad that I'm not getting the game for 360 until Christmas at the earliest.
Half of me is super glad that I'm not getting the game for 360 until Christmas at the earliest.

Ok, let's just get one thing straight. Elder Scrolls game are CHOCK-FULL of graphical glitches; ESPECIALLY on consoles. Are they game-breaking?... NO
!
The game is humongous. Let's just live with the bugs and enjoy the game for the enormity and scale

I've been watching the GiantBomb Live stream (360 Version); and it runs fine. Gregg seems to be impressed with the visuals and admits they will, of course, be better on PC. I have my second monitor muted so not sure if he ever explained if he installed it or else.
He has been playing for hours now and I have not seen any major slowdowns--other than load screens, which to me is important when moving around a World this large. The PS3 version seems to have more performance issues--based on gamer's feedback over the Beth Official forums.
I really hope they find an answer to the textures issue. It seems ridiculous at this point. Locally, I will give them the benefit that the street day is tomorrow and they still have time to find a fix for it.
They have stated that they are looking into it and I am sure they will; their forum is plagued with people complaining and asking for a fix for it.
*That 3.8GB Mega compression Idea seems to be coming back to bite them. I will never understand why they did that... my common sense, especially after playing games like Rage, Mass Effect and others that make use of greater space, cannot understand how a game this big ended up using so little space without sacrificing performance or visuals.
Anyways, it is still playable... let us hope they can fix it via patch.
I am going to stick with the X360 version, midnite cannot come sooner.

Good to hear. How did you get the game early?
Good friend at Gamestop. I don't really know what I'm doing, I have a copy coming tomorrow from Amazon and I'll probably be double dipping on the PC version a few months from now. Guess I'll just return one :lolDigital-Hero said:
I just saw a table that looked ugly as sin...don't know what that means yet, everything else looks normal.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
I'm glad Bethesda has acknowledged the 360 textures issue. Seems weird that they say it has nothing to do with an install, though, considering people have done A-B testing and seem to think that it IS the issue (although I guess not enough people have the game yet to really narrow it down).
I wonder if 360 model/disc drive makes a difference? Possibility incompatibility of some drives with the new disc format? Some don't seem to like the discs so much, regardless of Microsoft's testing.

Well, Bethesda has already said they're looking into it. The issue is definitely there. If you feel it'd bother you then I would wait. Some comparisons I've seen were minimal, but others have looked pretty ugly.JetBlackPanda said:
Oh, I've seen a few as well, but nothing as widespread as what some people are experiencing.Phonomezer said:

I've played... Heck, at least twenty hours by now, I think, and I haven't experienced any texture issues apart from when I installed it to my HDD. I'll try installing it again tomorrow, but the game looks fine and is smooth as hell, even running from the disc. It froze up on me maybe three times during loading screens, but coming from New Vegas, that's practically nothing.Fjordson said:
But seriously guys, this texture thing is nothing. If you're gonna wait to play this game because of something as small and insignificant as that, it's your loss, really. I've had moments where I was playing and I was amazed at what the old 360 can still pump out.

It's not bad, the game is still beautiful, so when you see a messed up texture it really sticks out.
Still, judging by the screenshots above, I'd say the the 360 version is better than the PS3 version.

Looking at more and more screens it seems the resolution on the PS3 is coming into question for me. I am seeing lower resolution textures, shadows, and text as well as more jaggies on the PS3. 360 has a pretty bad texture loading issue, so the decision is pretty difficult between the versions.
I guess I'll wait for DF since screens aren't adequate enough for this test.

Sure they are LOL. You'll be lucky for 2013.
Before this we had Crysis 2 that barely ran, Battlefield 3 is capped to 32 players and has smaller maps on consoles and heavy framedrops in the latest and greatest titles are not uncommon. Now not all of these issues will be resolved by new hardware but it's pretty obvious that we've pretty much reached the limit of the current machines.inner-G said:

I very rarely pre-order games and when I do it's because I've got a ton of store credit, etc. But the few times I have pre-ordered multi-platform games I pick a platform based on what I thought it would be a slam-dunk win for it in the comparisons. And then the day before the game comes out I find out there is some kind of problem with the one I ordered. Oh well, I'll probably be happy with the 360 version anyway, if Oblivion is any indication.
I bought Oblivion on 360 at launch, then when the PS3 version finally came out it was slightly better port so I bought that. Then the GOTY version came out with all the DLC and I ended up buying it on 360 again because I found I just didn't enjoy using the PS3 controller for that game.
So here's hoping they patch that shit on 360, but it still kind of stinks.
Bethesda... <sigh>
