Im leaning towards the PS3 version simply because of the single Blu Ray disc, but there is something to be said for the 360 achievements.  Looking at the recent video there doesnt seem to be any difference in graphical fidelity between the two versions...

360 because achievements. 
 
PS3 version is fine, but I bought enough games for it recently. It's been appeased. 
But I'm still on the fence about actually buying it at all.

I don't think it matters too much at this point. Disc swapping doesn't bother me in the slightest, in fact, I almost welcome it. Gives me a reason to take a break haha. I'll be getting the 360 version purely because I don't own a PS3. I was contemplating getting one for this, but seeing as they're not releasing that awesome white FFXIII PS3 slim in the west... I'll just stick to the Xbox for now.
 
Achievements ain't an argument anymore, seeing as the PS3 has trophies.

if you are an achievement whore low-life then 360 :P
 
PS3 version seems to be superior due to lossless audio and 1080p FMVs.  360 version is down-scaled to compressed audio and 720p FMVs IIRC.

I'm interested, but not "full-price" interested.
It all depends on which one gets deeper discounts faster - so I'm assuming I'll be getting it for the 360.
 
Actually screw that, I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get a loaner from a friend, so, whichever they buy. :)

Is achievements really a sell factor? Isn't it just numbers? I hear the ps3 version got uncompressed audio if that counts.

This has to be at least the tenth topic to cover this same question. And one of them likely had a poll, making it more useful.

My TV is only 720p compatible anyway, so makes no difference to me (and I'm sure I'm not the only one).

Oh yeah but if you have a surround sound system that accepts optical audio then you can enjoy that lossless audio. :)

Yeah, that's the only thing I feel like I'm missing out on. Not enough reason to justify purchasing a whole new console.

Hmmm yea, if I was going to buy the game I would get the 360 version, I am sorry I like my PS3 but achievements are 1000x more fun than trophies.

It is cause Achievements have been around longer and people wanna bolster their score.
 
There is no difference at all. Well trophies do take a few seconds to register. Wile achievements seem instant.

yeah..but buying a game so you could get some more numbers seems plain wrong. If I'm buying a game it's because of the game, not some numbers that people can bragg about. But enough OT. Uncompressed Audio for the PS3 makes me want to buy it for the PS3.

Well, it was originally being made for the PS3 so that's the version I'm going for.

You don't have to use the optical audio or have a surround system to enjoy lossless audio. The audio for HDMI is more than capable and so are stereo systems. As someone who is into 'that stuff' what really matters is the 1080p resolution of cut-scenes. The benefit of losless audio is trivial in my opinion there is no discernible difference to your ears.

My guess is they will be the exact same.  Barring any fuckups on either side of the fence.  Pick the system that you think has the better controller.

I'm only renting it, but PS3. I'm not going to deal with multiple discs.

" PS3 because it's finally fantasy. Playing FF on an xbox is like shitting in a urinal. Sure you can do it, but it just ain't right.  I own both the toilet and the urinal, so I'll shit in the toilet. If you only have a urinal you might as well shit in it. "
This is a great analogy.
 
Anyway, I'm going PS3 since I don't really like the 360.
