load times are slightly quicker on the ps3, and the graphics are a bit different. Also the xbox 360 is getting exclusive downloadable content that the ps3 will not get

Many reviewers (including IGN) have stated that the PS3 version is only slightly better in terms of antialiasing and framerate. They've also stated that the 360 had richer colors. In the long run, however, such differences are extremely superficial, and if you discriminate one version from another due to this fact, you're a moron. Don't forget about the 20+ hours of content the 360's DLC will offer, too. My decision will be based on the downloadable content rather than marginally better graphics; you can never have enough Grand Theft Auto.

basically what it comes down to is that both versions are so close in terms of awesomeness that the only factor for choosing a console should be what your friends will be playing it on. That and if you want the dlc. I'm not jiving the dlc simply cause from what i've been hearing, it's just gonna be either online missions or side missions, though that is only rumor so who knows.

Oh, ok. Then I assume it is your past self who is typing this...or, rather, has already typed this. I find...or, rather, found your ability to see into the future quite astounding. Tell me my fortune? Or have you already told me? God damn!

I get all of my games for th 360 due to the fact that all of my friends have a 360 and none have PS3s. Also I prefer xbl over ps3's online?

No, the developers said that it will be episodic story content which will take about 15 to 25 hours each to complete

this is one of thoes things to consider when you own a 360 and ps3 like I do. yes you want to get the one with better graphics ps3, then you consider live is 1000x better for online you get the dl content and so on. I almost got the ps3 gta but ended up pre-ordering for the 360. I will just rent the ps3 gta later just to check it out. the one thing I notice I do is, I always get mutil platfourm games for the 360. It just seem to always be the better choice

When it comes down to it, the DLC is the most important thing for me, IGN said the main story is about 30-40 hours, plus 25 hours of story dlc? that's quite an upgrade.

i would be soo pissed if only had a ps3... 10+ hours of dlc is like another game. i guess if you dont have internet connection and have both ps3 and a 360 the ps3 would be better, otherwise youd be a fool to pass up all that dlc.

Yeah i just thought about it...10 hours is actually quite alot. Nowadays games are like around 10 hours so yeah. Its like a whole new chapter, ign said the story took em between 25-45

i think the only difference is load times and DLC. Hilary from IGN may have said the graphics are better on the PS3, but Rockstar has said themselves that each version is identical. So unless Hilary has some weird x-men type vision, i'll take rockstar's word for that.

Like there is a difference in graphics but gameplay is basicly going to be the same but i think the 360 will have better online and it has DLC but that dosent mean its any better then the ps3. But im getting it for the 360.

alright both versions have their pluses and minuses.

PS3

+Better frame rate and lesspop-ins.

+faster load times.

+Sharper Graphics (I Think).

-No DLC (that we know of at the moment).

Xbox 360

+Colorful Graphics.

+More people use Xbox and Xbox Live so you are going to find more people online

+DLC

-Not as fast as the PS3 version.

personally i am going to go with the PS3 version just because that is what i have always played my GTA games on PS but it is up to you.

Pretty mush the difference is minimal when it comes to graphics but the 360 version has the edge due to the downloadable content. I have both consoles but i will be picking it up on 360 due to the downloadable content and the fact that the majority of my friends have 360's.

Another benefit of buying GTA 4 for the PS3 is that you don't have to worry about the 360's RROD issue. It is not that big of a deal, but it is an inconvenience when you have to get your 360 shipped to Microsoft's repair center. I just wanted to point this out since it hasn't been mentioned yet. I don't own a PS3, btw.
