I own both systems and don't play online much, so that part of the game is not the absolute priority for me. I own a PS3 and Xbox 360. Which version do you think I should get, and why?

PS3 is supposedly better.

WAIT FOR REVIEWS FROM IGN AND GAMEPSOT, and then purchase the game. COD4 does not have to be a day 1 purchase, wait and make it a day 2 purchase so you don't regret getting the wrong version.

just wait for reviews.

We cant be sure about the looks and performance of either version at this time. In the mean time, like aris said, which controller do you like and are achievements a big deal for you?

I would choose the 360 version. I prefer the 360 controller for FPSs, and it will probably have slightly better graphics (better anti-aliasing and frame rate)and achievementsare always cool.

Ps3 is 60fps, so no, not better frame rate. Stop claiming either system has better grahpics please until we can see actualy comparisons. The controller is a legit reason if you prefer it though.

Don't make comments on which you have no authority.

You don't know which version will have better framerate or graphics. If anything from what we've seen the PS3 might have an edge. Who knows, I don't, you don't, nobody knows yet except IW, so wait till next week and then you can say PS3 version has crappy framerate compared to PS3 version.

Till then don't make assupmtions.

Do you have to??? Don't you know frame rates affect graphics score?When i say"it will probably have slighty better graphics (better anti-aliasing and frame rates)" can't you understand what i meant? Are you really serious that you didn't understand "it will probably have slightly better graphics = it wil PROBABLY have slightly better anti-aliasing and it will PROBABLY have slightly better frame rates?" Ok then.

Cons:
- PS3 version will have no limited edition
- May find some jaggies on the PS3 version...not as smooth in some areas as you may find on the PC or Xbox 360.*

*To clarify the differences found between the console versions, when we said you may find jaggies and that the PS3 version wasn't as smooth, this is only a rare occurance and usually the jaggies appear on the edges of distant objects or the edges of buildings in the environment. Once again, this is very seldom, and will not effect the gameplay and to the general eye will look identical to other versions.

If you have Xbox live buy it for the 360.

For me. PC, probably get it with a new video card and a host of new games.
Simply because it offers better everything.....

But if I had too choose console, i'd go with 360.
Seems to run / look better - from what I have read, and its online will probably be better.

I will get he 360 version probably.

According to Playstation Universe( hardly a MS biased site :lol: ) the PS3 version suffers slightly in the frame-rate and Jaggie department , i have more friends on Live , better controller for FPS and just plain more people to fight with , ad achievements to that and the choice is clear .

I've also got a PS3, but since I'm paying for XBL already I might as well just buy it for the 360. Plus acheivments don't hurt either.

The 360 version will have a larger community, better online and the 360's controller is undoubtedly the better controller for shooters.

PC version will be by far the best version of this game. 2nd will be 360 due to the controller built for fps' games, achievements, and better online.

honestly, why does everyone make a big deal about the controller difference? The Sixaxis is just as responisve and precise as the 360 controller. maybe it's just me, but I don't see any significant difference at all between the two, even for FPSs.

NO. The Dedicated servers on the PS3 are only on Sony-made games. If it's not made by Sony, It's completely up to the Third party if it is P2P or Dedicated.

PC obviously. Custom maps and mods mean you get a lot more out of the game than you would if you bought it on a console.

lol, I love when arrogant people get proven wrong and then try blame something on somebody else.

Why are people saying PC?

Anyway, I'm getting it for 360 because thats what I have, but in your case, get it on whichever system more of your friends have.

PS3 for me. Halo 3 will be the online shooter I play with my 360 friends, COD 4 will be the online shooter I play with my PS3 friends. You can't go wrong no matter what system you pick it up for.

Are you kidding? Sixaxis = CRAP :(

360 version or possibly PC version for me simply because of the 360 controller. Oh how I wish Sony would develop a replacement for the Sixaxis/PS3 control..........

Why did you start a topic up from November 2007?

I have COD4 for both system. I would say the 360 controller is better for most games but after playing so long on both system on the same game i came to the conculsion that what ever am used to is the better controller. If i play loads on one system then it always feel weird for a few minutes while you get used to it again on a different controller.

I prefer the 360 version because of xboxlive and controller.The graphics look the same to me on both systems.I always get multiplat shooters on the 360 because the controller is way better for that type of game.Also xboxlive is the best online setup on any of the systems but u dont seem to be a big online guy so id just get it for the system that has the controller that u prefer.
