The reason it's taking so long is Rockstar is having a hard time compressing all the nessarry textures and data to fit on the DVD-9 of the XBox360. Since they are compressing all that data, the graphics will take a major downgrade.

For the PS3 version, all the textures and graphics will be as big as they were, so they will be sharper and cleaner than the xBox360 version.

We all know that compressed data lose quality, hence the PS3 will have the high quality version.

Come back with a side by side of a PS3 and 360 screenshot, and I will believe we. We haven't seen or heard ANYTHING about the PS3 version, so people who say that the PS3 version has a bad frame rate or something are just stupid. 360, which is all we;ve seen, runs at like 20fps according to 1up.

Anything said about GTA4 at the moment is all speculation. My opinion, they will be the same. Unless R* comes out with a statement saying otherwise, they'll be identicle. (or atleast they should be) (I'm not including the DL content because that doesn't actually come with the game. It's an add on)

PS3 will probably look slightly better. If that was the only difference bewteen the PS3 and 360 versions then I would agree with you even if thats not that big of a deal. Unfortunately for PS3 fans the 360 version has custom soundtracks and better online features.

Either way the games are basically the same.

Compression downgrades NOTHING, its compressed than uncompressed, nothing more. Even more, compression reduces load times.

You really need to get a clue. There's this little thing called RAM that stands as a bottleneck for all textures and data... a little thing that the PS3 is greatly inhibited by. That's why nearly EVERY multiplay game looks better on the 360.

Actually, they delayed the game because the ps3 version was unplayable. It's pretty much been confirmed that the 360 version had nothing to do with the delay.

The 360 might have caused the delay because it had too much competition in games for the holiday season, but the ps3 caused the technical aspectof the delay.

Ya what ever. Is that why Rockstar said you would need the 360 version to get the full story? Basicly every single multiplat game that has come out has been better on the 360. GTA will be no different. Heck Rockstar already said 360 version is best what more proof does a person need.

No no, the ps3 version has crappier graphics less ram to load up those high res textures from xbox360.

no unified memory=less ram.

Actually, the reason the game was delayed is because the PS3 version is pretty much non-existent at this point. Everything they've shown on the game has been from the 360 version.

Hahaa! You think the PS3 is going to use UNCOMPRESSED textures? If you think that, you show your ignorance to how the systems work. I can assure you, the PS3 will be using compressed textures as well, and it has NOTHING to do with the size of the disc.....

I'm no fanboy, and the TC is completely full of himself. But I love what half the Lemms are saying: " You do know that the PS3 is the reason it's getting delayed, right?" "Actually, they delayed the game because the ps3 version was unplayable. It's pretty much been confirmed that the 360 version had nothing to do with the delay." "Heck Rockstar already said 360 version is best what more proof does a person need." "No no, the ps3 version has crappier graphics less ram to load up those high res textures from xbox360." LOL, congratulations guys. You've all just done what the TC has done. Pull **** out of your a** and pass it off as fact. The only facts are what R* has said. And they have said nothing.

Cows are still devastated by the Carmack-PS3 low RAM debacle. So they have to make up these spin doctor stories just to sleep at night.
