Having experience with a PS2 controller (and even though I don't own a PS3), I'd say the 360. I like that controller much, much more.

I'll be getting the PS3 version, but then again, I do only own a PS3. They'll be identical anyway. The only tiny PS3 advantages are no loading times (after install), 5.1 LPCM audio, plus i'm used to the controller.

I don't know it all depends on when it launches and the reviews since I want to get a PS3 when inFAMOUS launches but if DMC4 is better reviewed for the PS3 I will get that version and if it is equal I will rent both versions to see which on I like more.

anyone with half a brain knows hes talking from a gameplay point. i could care less for those minimal graphical differences. if one version lags, has bugs, etc., it'll really make the other version a lot more appealing.

ps3 version of course(looks better, runs better) o and that screenshot, well, in comparisons they don't enable the rgb option on the ps3 and they don't enable the full white, or what's it called,either, so...anyway they use component cables, y'all should play with hdmi cables at 1080i or 1080p ;)

I could go either way. Whichever version is the best overall is the one I'll be picking up.

no, i don't support either argument as i've never played either version yet so i couldn't say which is better and neither can anyone else on this site. when i get a chance to, i'll make my judgement rather than from a few screens and false bias.

That's alright, take it easy. Here is the question again; how do you know he obviously knows more about the gameplay lag /etc.. rather than the graphics at this point?

If I did own both console's I'd take the 360 version even though I own a PS3 and like using a PS3 more then a 360(Yes I have tried using them both). but only because itll be cheaper then the Bluray PS3 version. and afterall the 360 has not yet had any major issues with disk space or anything like that that has caused it floppy features yet although in the future you can generally expect it to become a much bigger issue.

Yeah butPSN isNOTXbox Live, Xbox live featues and features in the guideare standard over all games. It just isn't the same on PSN, I want a unified experience, and most everyone I know has Xbox Live.

More importantly Xbox Live publishes that data for community sites, so I can track it on my 360voice.com blog and other sites.

If it's cross platform and there is no major flaws on a certain platform, I am going to be playing it on Xbox 360.

cheaper:yes, better looking:no, trust me if you have a ps3 the blu-ray drive will come in very useful cuz its a HD drive, and not any HD drive its a blu-ray drive, sure the 360 has a hddvd drive but still, its ecternal and ugly :lol: and not as good as the blu-ray :P

here, i'll simplify it with multiple choices:

DMC4 PS3 footage wasn't captured properly, and I know so because:

a) I heard it somewhere, here is a link ...

b) I just enjoy pulling stuff out of my hiney.

Um, coming fom a PS3 owner, the only thing RGB Full does is adjust color and contrast settings so that the games look more natural on uncalibrated or overly bright TV sets. As far as I can tell, both DMC4 shots have the exact same contrast and color settings - this means that RGB Full is already on, or, if RGB Full is switched on it will make the game look way too dark.

o, aren't you an inssistent 360 fanboy? :) ok dude here's a link http://www.gametrailers.com/player/29150.html

video comparison, they look identical, of course with component cables, they only go at 576i or something like that, buy a hdmi cable, and see it at 1080p, oh, and as a fact, ps3 has hdmi 1.3, 360=hdmi 1.2 :)

I have both the PS3 and the 360.

I'm going with the PS3 version. The option to install to HDD, and almost completely remove load times isa really nice bonus. Another reason is that I always buy multi-plats for my PS3 simply because it's far more reliable, and the differences are very minimal in most.

you really don't need to dig a deeper hole for you. You could simply choose option b that I gave u. And I promise, I won't shout "pwnt" at you or anything. :)

This will make a nice birthday gift for myself in February, and will make a nice addition to the PS3 i'll have by then. Besides i'll more than likely be purchasing the majority of multi-plat action titles for the PS3, simply because I prefer the controller. Achievements for me aren't enough of a reason to buy a particular version.

Is it just this game that doesn't have any load times because I saw some other games that had load times but if this one doesn't have load times for PS3 then I will defenately get this for PS3 when I get a PS3.

Ps3 the R and L bumpers will feel more natural and apparently theres a bit more screen tearing on 360, and apparently ps3 is a bit better looking 1up say it looks like the game was built for ps3 and ported to 360Animal-Mother

1UP are full of ****, as usual. The game - like a lot of Capcom's other next-gen games - was built on the PC using their MT [multi-target] Framework engine, and then ported over to both consoles. Read.

Its strange, but that is a really tough question.

I have played the other three using a PS2 controller so logically I would be getting it for PS3 but I may wait to read the first set of reviews to see if there is any advantage one way or another.

I could go either way. Whichever version is the best overall is the one I'll be picking up.
