This would be like 2K making a commercial for Mafia 2 on PS3 and using PC footage. 

Although I think that would be a MUCH bigger issue.

You can see in my sig I own FF13. As it's the last game I played. I have also extensively seen the PS3 version. And to be honest you cannot tell. Unless you video capture it and study it, they look Identical. 

So I dunno.

But the way the commercial is, it's like M$ tagged there bit on the end. And it's not like the advert is giving the impression look at this 360 graphics. But saying look FF13 is here and available on 360.

All the footage was bloody CGI. So this is a moot point. The CGI is nearly identical. 

The biggest difference between the PS3 and 360 versions is the CGI. 

While I have never experienced it myself my buddy from work said that he noticed "blockiness" (What he called it) in the videos, especially in the black sky when Snow was on his bike with Serah during the fireworks display. 

I have only seen the PS3 version so I can't confirm, but he doesn't visit gaming forums so I doubt he knew what to look for. I also can't comment if he saw it at any others points, the loser stopped playing FFXIII at Chapter 4.
