I have a ps3 and a 360, and I'm on the fence for GTA. These are basically the things that I'm considering as advantages for each system:

360:

- XBL better online experience than PSN

- achievements (I'm not an achievement whore but I do enjoy them and I think GTA lends itself well to them)

ps3:

- reliability - my 2nd xbox is currently at the repair center, and I want to be able to play this any time and have it for ages

- ps3 version apparently looks a bit better and has faster load times

- 1080p: since MS will only send me old refurb non-HDMI consoles, and my TV won't accept 1080 thru component, I feel that I get a sharper image from my ps3

So which one should I get?

I was on that same fence you are, but the DLC and the fact that all my buddies are getting it on 360 made the decision for me.

Sounds like you will get a better overall visual game with the PS3 version, not sure how much DLC matters to you or which system your friends own...

PS3 version is the definitive version no matter how you spin it. Slighty sharper image > 20hours of extra gameplay

Most are getting 360, but I dunno how much multi I will play as most of my online gaming is devoted to gears.

yeah that crossed my mind cause if I go with 360 I will have to wait til it comes back to play and if I got one of the versions used it wouldnt be too expensive to have both

really? I thought the 360 was the one that would have extra content via DLC

I heard the online is suppose to be a lot of fun, but in this case i'm thinking maybe you should get the PS3 version if you really wnat to play it when it comes out( you did say that your 360 is in repairs right now??), or if you don't mnd getting it later, i would get it on 360.

I own a PS3 and Xbox 360 too so I've been thinking long and hard about this one. The DLC on Xbox 360 looks interesting, but I've chosen PS3 because I don't want to deal with Xbox Live. If I went with Xbox 360, I'd have to pay to play online. I view online gaming as something that should be free (it's free on PS3 and PC, why shouldn't I get it for free?) and I don't like the buying system and inconvenience of the Xbox Live settup process or the inconvenience of their buying system to get said DLC.

360 for the DLC

ps3 for the better frame rate and less pop in
