My understanding is that the games are graphically, and technically identical, and have the same content in the base game. Have you heard otherwise?


Nope. I didn't. I think PS3 version will provide sharper textures, further drawing distance, quicker loadings etc. Something like Oblivion.


Most games look better and run better on the 360. Oblivion, in particular benefited from improved programming techniques and not because the PS3 is faster (it's not). The shader technique, in particular, is possible on the 360 and should be is supposed to be added in an Oblivion patch if it hasn't been already.

Some games, like Assassin's Creed, will benefit from the 360's general purpose processing power advantage and have better AI (this is according to the Assassin's Creed developers). The 360 also has a graphics fill rate advantage and a more flexible memory architecture.

The bottom line is that if I want to play GTA 4 the 360 will be the best platform for it. GTA 4 was the *biggest* exclusive Sony had, bar none, so this is huge news.  Even if many gamers don't discover that the 360 version is superior before they buy it, they will likely find out at some point in the future when GTA fans talk about this stuff or see the bonus episodes on the 360 (especially if they sell in stores also).
