Is it because PS3 is more powerful, or because of the extra dev time developers had with the PS3 version? or both?

Also, will there be an update to bump Oblivion X360 graphics, or it's just not possible technically?

there will be a graphical update for the 360 version but the oblivion devs stated to ign that there certain optimizations they made to support the cell that would not be transferable to other platforms. It was in ign's last preview of the game.

I do. Anyway the PS3 version also has an option to partially install the game so the load times are faster (4GB taken). Lighting and contrast look better on the X360 but the PS3 shows far off textures much better. X360 version will seem to have anything 20m away blurred while it does not happen on the PS3 because of higher AF. Yes, PS3 version loads and has better landscape textures because of added development time, however the PS3 does not support enough memory to have the download content, therefor in a way it has less content than the X360.

Probably because you have to have Shivering Isles to get the upgrade. OUT TOMORROW!

There is already an update, which makes it look even more like the ps3 version.

Even so, its a good accomplishment the PS3 has better graphics, framerates, and loadtimes, regardless if they 'had more time'. It outdid the 360 in this case. Give PS3 credit

I'd say it was due to the extra time to be honest, but as far as the loading times go, that is all down to the ps3 baby.

Really? I thought you had to get SI to get the upgraded graphics. Oblivion did update the other day come to think of it. So that's what it was, eh? I didn't even notice a difference.
