(For the newbie: a multiplatform game, aka cross platform, is when a specific game is made for different systems.)
When 360 and PS3 multiplatform games are pitted against each other, using a variety of hardware tests including framerate, resolution, loading times, and graphic effects, the results can be surprising. Being unbiased myself (I do not own 360 or PS3, nor do I plan on buying either) I find eurogamer to be a good source of these comparisons not just because of their rigorous tests, but because they allow you to judge for yourself with screenshot and video comparisons. You can view them all here: http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=318609

Methodology
"Key to our quest is mastery of the video outputs of the respective consoles. Zero-compromise 24-bit full-range RGB captures from the HDMI ports of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 allow us to produce the best comparison screen grabs, while Eurogamer's h264-equipped video player means the best in streaming video (make sure you have that 'high quality' feature enabled). And if all that isn't good enough, the high-def captures in all their 720p 60FPS majesty can be downloaded for playback on fast PCs, Xbox 360 or PS3 via the author's blog where similar content for the technically obsessed can also be found. [Enough plugs. - Ed]"
