It's a sarcastic gamer joke article, but it's late for April's Fool. In a little over 85 minutes it's possible to install a complete dual layer Blu-Ray disc to the harddrive. The game will not even fill up a single layer Blu-Ray disc as the 360 version has to fit on DVD, at most it would be a little bigger due to maybe higher quality textures (it makes sense to stream this instead of installing this, a la Uncharted) or if they aim for lots of lossless qualtiy 7.1 audio, such would never be installed to harddrive but streamed off disc as well, like any other PS3 game.
There may be a harddrive install or the following comment simple relates to harddrive caching a la Uncharted:
"The PS3 hard drive and CPU should deliver a smoother GTA IV than on Xbox 360, not least because of texture streaming. Less loading, more detail and vibrant colour palette should make PS3 GTA IV stand head and shoulders above the Xbox 360 version."

Also in an IGN podcast it was stated the PS3 version looks better, we will have to wait and see.
Other differences (we know near to nothing about):
- 2 non-free downloadable future episodes planned for the 360.
- Free home integration and features planned.
Other differences are just system specific, like free or non-free online multiplayer (said to be very good), drive noise, controller preferences, etc, etc. |
Actually what IGN has said is that the 360 version is more vibrant but that the PS3 has less anti-aliasing issues.

I am talking about the podcast. Could be that they just didn't enable Full Range HDMI for more vibrant colors (for TVs which support this), lots of reviewers made this mistake in the past. For some games like Assassin's Creed it makes more of a difference than for others like Uncharted.
