GTA 4 in-game TV better on PS3

Full-screen option not available in Xbox 360 version.

In the process of making our GTA 4 comparison video we've noticed one major difference between the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game - there is no full-screen video mode for in-game TV in the Xbox 360 version.

We're not sure why - maybe it's because the video files could be stored in higher quality on the Blu-ray disc - but there is an option to watch TV shows in full screen (well, as near as) in the PS3 version of GTA 4. This feature is missing from the Xbox 360 version, with the player forced to view what's on the box in a small viewing area.

It's not a massive blow to the Xbox 360, but some of the short TV shows are certainly worth a look and we'd much rather watch them in full screen rather than strain our eyes viewing the smaller Xbox 360 version.

"this will be my last gta4 post, im getting sick of them, just thought its worth a mention"

My ill informed guess is the Blu Ray disc..

They might of had to reduce the ingame TV resolution to make things fit on the 360 DVD

Damn... this is the first quality loss for the 360 version thats worth mentioning.
