If your in a position like me and have both consoles, some might say lucky but it brings alot of dilemmas. Which console should I get resi 5 on, do I go for 360 with the achievements and good online. Or do I go for the PS3 so i can hear the sound instead of a roaring fan? I've always tended to go for 360 but I'm having second thoughts now. What console will you buy resi 5 on if you own both consoles and why?

360 version because of the controller and XBL. I want to be able to do online co-op with my friends, and if i got the PS3 version i wouldnt be able to.

PS3 for a few reasons, mainly the controller. The demo didn't quite feel right on the 360 pad, I know it'll be better with the Dual Shock. I played RE4 on the PS2, so it's natural to play RE5 on the PS3.

@floppy jim the ps3 controller is one of the many reasons i wouldnt like it on the ps3. The perfect controller was not perefected in the 90s like many ps2 or 3 fans would like to believe.

Xbox 360, my friend and me are planning on finishing the game co-op straight away, and he doesn't have a PS3, and that's pretty much why. I don't know what system I would get it on if it wasn't for that.

PS3.

Resident Evil and the PS controller go hand in hand to me. The PS controller also feels the most natural out of any other controller on the market. I have been using it for years and at this point it feels like an extension of my hands.

I do not think anyone will have any issues what so ever with finding people to play with on PSN.

PS3 I'm more used to the PS3 controller. My PS3 friends list is full, whereas my 360 friends list isn't. I have more friends getting it on PS3 then 360. I'd rather play with friends rather then playing with random unknown people. If I had more friends on the 360 i'd probably get that version instead.

Xbox 360. Well, because the 360 controller is better suited for this type of game, and also the fact that more of my buds are on XBL. And I may also add that I use 360 more, so it's more tempting to have on the console that's actually on more.

The only multiplats I buy for the PS3, are fighting games. Everything else is for the 360. The graphics are the same if not better on the 360, and then there is Live. Much better, more stable, and more natural, then PSn. I also like the 360 controller better for anything other then fighting games. If i don't have to use the D-pad for moves then the 360 controller is more natural in my hands.

I just think it's a lot better than the 360 pad for TPS/action games, that's all. I dunno, I just found the controls kinda clunky on the demo. Whereas RE4 played fine with the Dual Shock.

Ah yeah,also for those of you who want it on the PS3 b/c of friends or what ever but do not like the controller.

There you go, use a 360 controller on your PS3. :P

Agreed. It has the same exact mechanics as RE4 by and large, therefore, it will feel far more natural with the DS3 in my estimation. It just did not feel right playing it with the 360 controller for me either. Of course it will all boil down to personal preference rather than one controller being better suited for the game than the other.

I didn't notice any screen tearing, and I'm one picker motha when it comes to screen tearing. :| It wasn't anywhere near the level of screen tearing in Uncharted, because I definitely noticed it in that game.

Oh wait, PS_John? Ah, nevermind.:P

Over 30 hours long, lol? Anyone who can confirm this, it would be greatly appreciated. Preferably with a link from a credible source.

"An issue with the Xbox 360 version is the screen tearing. It rears its ugly head quite often on the Xbox 360. I haven't seen any screen tearing on the Playstation 3"
It doesn't seem the PS3 will have screen tearing

There's an example, the screen tearing is worse in motion btw

Theres definitely screen tearing, not as bad as dead rising. Might be something to do with the game engine Capcom uses.

360. Better controller, achievements (I like them better than trophies because more people I know see them), and its much more likely a friend will have it (Co-op :D)

PS3... I used my Xbox 360 as sparingly as possible for exclusives since I'm on my third one. I only use it for Left 4 Dead at the moment, but that's only when a bunch of friends want to play it. The PS3 just feels overall safer to play multiplatform games... or just gaming in general.

Xbox 360, because all my friends have XBL and none have PSN and there is a better chance of DLC on the 360.

If I get Resident Evil 5, I'm getting it on the Xbox 360 because of the controller, Xbox Live and the fact that more of my real life friends are planning to get the game on the 360.
