IGN's review didn't take into consideration any of the points that I brought up (well none that I saw)

Truth of the matter is that the 360 already has more features then the PS3 version

OMG!! On the 360 version, you get an achievement called "Mild Coffee". EXCLUSIVE!!!.....err not. You can do it on the PS3 version too, you just don't get a notification at the bottom of the screen. That takes out the argument of achievements making it have "more features"

DLC has been hinted at for the PS3, so that semi-moots the DLC making it have more features.

Freezing....that happens on BOTH versions, but on top of that, the 360 version has pop-ins, worse anti-aliasing, and a slightly lower framerate when a bunch of action is on screen. That takes out the freezing argument.

Which console's online still works when a single game goes down? Remember Christmas '07? NO GAMES could be played because Live went down, and if the same thing happened now, not only could you not play GTAIV, but you couldn't play Halo, COD4, Gears, etc. while on the contrary, when GTAIV went down on the PS3, I could still play COD4, Warhawk, TF2, etc. That takes out the online argument.

Custom soundtrack...you've got me there, but I will bring in an example of how this can be moot too. My roommate this past year has a 360, and he simply turned on iTunes, and blared music out of his computer speakers when he was playing because he had tons on his computer, and his flash drive was only 256 mb. Same effect as custom soundtracks, just a different medium. So if you use that method, or one similar to it, that takes out the soundtrack argument.

Who said the PS3 version was slightly better? IGN did and so did a handful of other reviewers.

360 version has more features how, may I ask again?

hmm you just stated them.. it doesn't matter if you think they're "moot", they're still there!!

And, DLC for the 360 will be episodic content.. DLC for the PS3 will be horse cop armor.

I can't understand how people believe that the $50 million loaned to TakeTwo by MS will somehow mean equivalent content delivered to the PS3.

and to finish off - 

What did Sony get you when you couldn't play GTA IV online??  At least MS apologized for getting caught with their pants down last Xmas and you can expect them never to let it happen again. Sony doesn't care if there's a problem, they've passed on the responsibility to third parties (Gamespy)... I'm not sure how thats something you can brag about.
