Which system performs/looks better? I'm leaning towards PS3 because I run that on an hdmi cable and my 360 on VGA cable. (VGA disables a lot of the picture options on my set, so the picture isn't very calibratable)

Guess the 360 is the clear winner. Thanks for posting

Huh. I didn't realize the difference was that big.

I find that footage hard to believe, it looks a hell of a lot better than that on my PS3.

almost identical...    
 

360 version is known to have a better frame rate than the PS3 version.
 
So if you have both, get it for the 360.
 
I'm just getting it for the PS3 since that's all I got.

From what I have seen the PS3 is more blurry, washed out, and suffers from more screen tearing and poor FPS.

It's an essential game on both platforms, but if you've got both consoles, the 360 version is clearly the more solid performer.    

"Yeah this looks fake, its like they took the xbox version and then a ps2 game "

The whole point of a comparison is to tell you which version to get if you have both consoles, which I do. I will assume that you don't. "

Whoa, console tearing is humongous. Glad I have good ol vsync on the PC.

Eurogamer at their best. Instead of putting the fires out they just add more wood onto it. Reading articles and reviews from Eurogamer is exactly like getting the best handjob in the world only to find out that the person giving you the handjob has a sever case of eczema.  "

So far the only difference i notice with HD, is things are shiner, and when i played it on PS3, things where shiny enough, you want to know what version to go with, do some meditating and figure out what controller your more comfortable with.

" Actually I own both. Assuming is not a very good idea.  "

It's an essential game on both platforms, and no matter which console you decide to go by, you are going to enjoy this game. 

" I am just so sick of all these comparison and the fact that they always make the person feel like they are getting a crippled version of game and as a result somehow less fun. "

" The whole point of a comparison is to feed the megalomanic need of fanboys so they can justify their delusional sense of loyalty to a console brand. "

" Eurogamer could have finished the article in a much more dignified way, like this:"

This is pretty lame flame bait.
