  • nusuni, on 05/02/2008, -6/+292what the heck is the point of requiring people to enter their age? Everyone lies on those things anyway
  • mattus, on 05/02/2008, -11/+254If I'm honest, I can't notice a lot of difference. I don't think a Flash video is the best way to judge the graphical quality of next-gen consoles.
  • balrog85, on 05/02/2008, -2/+192I even lie on those, and i'm old enough, just too lazy to pick out the exact year/month/day (even the year, i just scroll down and click randomly). I wonder what percentage actually bother to change the month and day...
  • ostracize, on 05/02/2008, -0/+119My birthday is on January 1, somewhere between 1925 and 1980
  • ahawks, on 05/02/2008, -2/+110Legality. If someone lies about their age, it's their own liability. If the site doesn't check, it's their fault.

    Just covering their asses.
  • Zandarrr, on 05/02/2008, -8/+114By my eye the xbox image is much sharper but the PS3 has better color rendition in some of the character sequences. The differences aren't big enough to pick one console over the other though.
  • piratearggghhh, on 05/02/2008, -3/+91Get the version that you have the most friends on - but judging from the video, graphics shouldn't even be a deciding factor.
  • dmac41, on 05/02/2008, -10/+95So...... no difference?
  • aspec, on 05/02/2008, -1/+63Why would you link to the Standard Def version of this video?
  • gametavern, on 05/02/2008, -1/+62Everyone is born January 1st!!!
  • Senturion, on 05/02/2008, -1/+58Who else put in their birth year as 1900?
    On second thought that might be a bad idea if they sell those demographics to game companies.
    "Coming soon from EA: Grand Theft Steam Engine"
  • canuck102, on 05/02/2008, -6/+58Man, you must be superhuman to spot the differences without a side by side.
  • balrog85, on 05/02/2008, -1/+49To everyone who is saying they can't tell the different - skip to 2:00 minutes exactly, you can clearly see that they are wearing different jackets...
  • quaunaut, on 05/02/2008, -9/+54The PS3 seemed like it was permanently blurred to me.
  • SSCrow, on 05/02/2008, -14/+55There is definitely more Fuzziness on the PS3 version.
    Just look at the depth of field.
  • thebza451, on 05/02/2008, -2/+42people who have jobs
  • inactive, on 05/02/2008, -3/+41Your face will melt while you play GTA4
  • JupiterSSJ4, on 05/02/2008, -1/+361900 doesn't exist. Time started on Jan 1, 1970
  • IdeoPraxist, on 05/02/2008, -13/+47Ugh. You graphic fanboys need to go outside and compare PS3 and XBOX 360 with reality.
  • SSCrow, on 05/02/2008, -12/+45Playing the 360 version last night I didn't notice any loading outside of the cutscenes for a mission.
  • gametavern, on 05/02/2008, -5/+37I still can't decide which version to get though. Better graphics, no load time, familiar online environment... too many choices!
  • Nobi-Wan, on 05/02/2008, -12/+43Are you joking? When flying in the helicopter on the PS3 the GetALife building completely disappears!
    The 360 version had the building there even at a long distance.
  • mizatt, on 05/02/2008, -1/+31They should make a disc with the xbox version on one side and the ps3 version on the other
  • inactive, on 05/02/2008, -2/+32http://www.gametrailers.com/player/33469.html
    HD version of same video
  • misterteenwolf, on 05/02/2008, -1/+28you really can't lose playing either version
  • inactive, on 05/02/2008, -4/+30Want a cookie?
  • damon5334, on 05/02/2008, -6/+31Here's the proof:
    http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/52445

    There are lockups with both systems, but the 60GB model of PlayStation 3 is most affected by the issue.
  • deadnoob, on 05/02/2008, -0/+24So did Rockstar.
  • DeadlyCouncil, on 05/02/2008, -2/+26It offers... the same thing?
  • Nayson, on 05/02/2008, -8/+30Will they rerun this video in four or five months with the Xbox 360 version showing the DLC and the PS3 version showing nothing?
  • LordStandley, on 05/02/2008, -2/+24The ***** part is that you dont see age-gates on movie trailers like Saw. But those darn video games, better protect our children from those.
  • ancalagon73, on 05/02/2008, -3/+23I have to agree. I got it on the PS3 because, well, I wanted a game on the PS3. EVERYONE I know got it on the 360. Should have checked first.
  • UtopiaInTheSky, on 05/02/2008, -1/+19It knows you're lying about your age!
  • drifter, on 05/02/2008, -1/+19Jesus christ they are close. Honestly seems like it truly just depends on which console you own or want to own. Since they both look good to me.
  • piper999, on 05/02/2008, -4/+22GTA IV doesn't cause the RROD so it is irrelevant.
  • Scheissen, on 05/02/2008, -0/+181900
  • KaiUno, on 05/02/2008, -0/+17Now we know what was in the Ark of the Covenant.
  • gameyharp, on 05/02/2008, -4/+20Uhm, did you even watch the video?
  • ashwin100, on 05/02/2008, -4/+20Hmm, I've definately noticed some bad pop-in on the 360, and according to IGN they say it isn't as bad on the PS3 due to the hard drive install meaning quicker read times..
  • inactive, on 05/02/2008, -3/+19let the flaming begin, even though theres no difference
  • NeilM, on 05/02/2008, -2/+18Uh.
  • louiedog, on 05/02/2008, -1/+16But what ever happened to the "click here if you're over 18" sites? How is this more effective?
  • wildkeith, on 05/02/2008, -4/+19The main difference is that the PS3 has a softer renderer than the XBOX 360. Besides that, they're virtually identical. This is exactly what the developers said in a recent interview.
  • shakbhaji, on 05/02/2008, -1/+15Since you have negative diggs I'm gonna go ahead and say you don't speak for "most of us."
  • sugarazor, on 05/02/2008, -7/+21Ummm.... there's no proof of the console being likely to "RRoD while playing."
  • oriondr, on 05/02/2008, -5/+19The bloom and overall image quality is better on the Xbox, particles/explosions are a lot better on the PS3.
  • Ryan0617, on 05/02/2008, -5/+18Lighting effects? in all honestly i think the x360 makes better use. Its much brighter. (I don't even like the x360 either so swallowing my pride) On that note, you cant tell a difference anyway. I'm sure there are about to be some fan boy comments saying which one is better than the other.
  • innerpenguin, on 05/02/2008, -2/+15umm, lots of people have all three current major consoles: PS3, XBox 360, and Wii.
  • dubloe7, on 05/02/2008, -0/+13you realize that you can pick different clothes, right?
  • BlackKnight6, on 05/02/2008, -2/+14Not only could you watch it in HD but I like that they zoomed in on the shots so you could compare the aliasing, something which is hard to do with compressed videos obviously (comparing is hard, not zooming). So I think in this video I was actually able to compare.

    And what was with the PS3 version having the getalife building disappearing and coming back THAT close? Can you play GTA4 on the PS3 without installing maybe?
