Well, I know that, all other things being equal, I tend to choose the 360 version because I prefer Achievements to Trophies. Like with Arkham Asylum, if the PS3 didn't have the extra content, I'd have got it on the 360.

I don't understand when people say this. They are the same thing! The only difference is that one is a number and one is an icon. The actual "achievement", ie the thing you do to get that number/icon, is the same. That should really be the most important part, the feeling of knowing you have done it, rather than the visual feedback given.

Eh I disagree.  Numbers > Icons.

 

I have a score of 40,000 thousand.  You have a score of 20,000 I'm totally twice as better.

 

I've got a Square.  You have a triangle.  I have no clue how much better I am then you are.

I have 15 tropies, you have 8.

 

But they're all different kinds so I have to employ some sort of strange olympic grading scale to know how much better I am then you at something.

 

Not that i actually care about achivements.  But that's why points > Icons.
