I prefer the PS3 version, personally. I find the frame-tearing unbearable on the 360. I have to wonder why Capcom chose to not v-sync the 360 (causing tearing, but a better FR), and apparently they v-synced the PS3 (seems to eliminate tearing, but the framerate dips to 20 now and then, since there's no v-syncable rate higher then 20.0 FPS under 30.0).

If the PS3 version is doing vertical sync, does the framerate appear more steady in PAL regions (where you could v-sync to 25 fps, instead of 20)?

Like I said though... I actually prefer the PS3 version, myself. Something about it is way more immersive. Might be the sound quality -- the PS3 audio hardware and output always seems superior to the 360.

 

Some PS3 games are known to have 7.1 HD audio due to the available space on Blu-ray.  Even if your audio hardware isn't HD audio compatible, it's still a "cleaner" signal that get downgraded to accomodated your audio hardware still being better than common lossy audio.

So if I listen to 128kb MP3 tracks will I notice a difference?

 



Tease.

I cannot answer that for you because your ears are not mines.  From my expereince, I can hear the difference between a 128kb AAC audio file and a 320kb ACC files through my sound system.  So wanting the best audio quality, I earlier decided to rip my CD's to my PS3 all at 320kb AAC.  And this was all before upgrading my six year old a/v receiver.  Now with my new 1.3 HDMI compatible a/v receiver, AAC audio files, DirecTV, DVD playback, Blu-ray playback, and console gaming all sound deeper, more robust, and clearer.

I realize you had a "" out to your question.  Sorry, but I didn't get the joke.

The full eurogamer article says:

"Game content is identical on both machines, and while PS3 owners still get a decent enough version, it's the Xbox 360 rendition that is clearly the more attractive, solid and more playable game. However, the fun of the co-op mode is orders of magnitude more important than the differences between the two conversions, so the core issue comes down to which set of online buddies you want to be playing this game with. Spend more time on PSN? Go for PS3. Got a whopping great Xbox Live friends list? Buy that one and consider the better visuals and smoother gameplay a nice Brucie-bonus."

Sounds like a win-win for all.

It's a win-win for all, but to keep pushing this one-sided analysis is agenda driven at best.

I'm sure the same people who are meticulous about framerates have no worries about screen tearing issues because their tv(s) can handle it...

Plus, I wouldn't boast about having screen tearing issues on my tv.
