    Is it just me and I have to be patient, or is everyone else able to download it? I'm sure the latter is not the case, so I'm wondering... where the heck is it? I've already played the 360 and PC version, and I want to play this to determine which system I'll be getting it on when it releases.

    So...any different than the 360 demo?  The little tech videos they released awhile back had the PS3 and 360 versions looking fairly different. Wonderin if that still remains true or do they look basically the same now.

    Ok, I was going to, and still might, mention the differences on the 360 and the PS3 version in a new thread but... The PS3 version is worse. The frame rate is slower by a noticeable amount and the textures are a bit worse. The pros on PS3 are, if you can even call them pros, are how the PS3 seems to have more blur effect, to me personally though, it wasn't a good thing, and the original contrast is set perfectly on PS3 while on 360 it's set too low but can be easily fixed. The frame rate problem is the big let down on PS3 and for that, that for now until release, breaks it for me. The 360 cons that aren't apparent in the PS3 version, are how when running around on the Xbox demo, there is some pop in, and it can be distracting to the eye sometimes, and like I mentioned before, the gamma/contrast is worse from a default setting but hardly a problem since it's easily fixed by turning it up. 
     
    Here's the rundown, if that wasn't clear enough to anyone, if you'd rather play a game with pop in problems on the 360, or if you'd rather get your hands on an experience that's exeptionally slower within the frame rate, get the PS3 version. For me personally, if I had to choose between only the two versions, I'd go with 360 for now.

    Yeah it looks and runs like shit. I don't expect it to be Uncharted or Killzone but it's worse than any disc based game I have in my collection. The game I think it compares to the most in terms of performance would be Skate 2, but at least that game is fun.
