What? 3 discs on 360? Is it the same game engine that powered GTAIV and RDR? Because if it is I've got a tough decision to make. Technically superior 360 version or one disc PS3 version. Hell might go with PC.

technically superior how?

The RAGE engine that powered GTAIV and RDR was-

720p on 360 vs 640p on PS3

Superior framerate on 360

More foliage for 360 RDR

MSAA on 360 vs QAA on PS3

Superior draw distance on 360 RDR

Superior water effects on 360

Supeior shadows on 360

Missing shadows on PS3 RDR

 

PS3 did hold some advantages of it's own though such as-

Triple Buffered V Sync (360 was double buffered with soft v-sync)

Sometimes superior shadow casting and lighting on RDR

GTAIV TV watching was superior on PS3 due to blu ray space

yes, after reading the review on DF, it sounded like both games had their pros and cons but overall the xbox version was better.

but with RDR, it seemed as if the already small difference shunk a lot more. making them nearly identical
