my copy was sent out yesterday but I probably wont get it till monday, tuesday..

anyway someone posted some 360 screenshots which I thought were alright

My biggest fear of buying the 360 version over the PS3 version is that the cinematics aren't going to look as sharp. I prefer Achievements to Trophies, so I'm still sorta leaning towards the 360 version. Is there a noticeable degrade in the cinematics? I know that you said I won't care but.....I still do. Your opinion, please?

I can't really compare since I don't have the ps3 version but the non-CGI cutscenes look awesome aswell but I guess on 720p they will look better. Though its hard to imagine they could become any better:D!

Yea it was by far the best wake up news i ever had~~.

I understand where you are coming from, I prefer achievements and the 360 controller but I'm leaning towards the PS3 version myself. I read the article and watched the comparison vids. The 360 version doesn't look bad. The PS3 version is just clearly better. I'm not planning on getting the game right away though but if I had to get a version today. I'd get the PS3 version. Judge for yourself. Eurogamer has side by side comparisons. Here is the link.

Thanks, man.  I'll check that link out right now!

There you go. Time to put this whole steamy mess of grumbling to bed. If you have a 360 and fancy the game then don't be put off by all the Digital Foundry gloom.

how did you get it before the release date

If you have a decent HD TV the cinematics are going to look a fair bit better in motion, no doubt about it.  They are pretty compressed from the PS3 ones and may even, according to some sites, have occasional 'artificats' as a result in highly kinetic scenes.

My view would be that unless you really want the Achievements, given this is SP only if you have both consoles and like FF (which means liking the cinematics, etc) then this is a clear PS3 choice.

The 360 cinematics should look pretty darn decent, but clearly if you want to know you're looking at the best representation then you're going to want the PS3 version.  The actual game should only look a fraction less sharp from what I've read and seen - but the cinematics is where the compression hit the hardest.

I am just very happy that your enjoying the GAME

Yes the GAME.....there has been too much talk about Versions!

I really hope Square releases some sort of demo for FF13 (but they won't). I'd love to see the two running side by side on my own HDTV. That link kept telling me reasons why the 360 version would be inferior but I just could not see it. I could see a slight difference if I looked REALLY hard but it just wasn't significant. I KNOW the PS3 version will be better but............I dunno. I guess I'll flip a coin in three days.

Heads, 360.
Tails, PS3.
