Which version is superior?

PS3 - better framerate

PS3. Better framerate like Enigma777 said.

Depends what you want out of it. I hear co-op is easier to set up on the Xbox. I had no luck getting matched up with my friend on the PS3 version and we tried multiple times.

The game isn't meant to pair you up with friends. That would be like hitting quick match and HOPING you get paired up with a friend on any other game.

But PS3!

Matchmaking is the same in both versions.

PS3 is best.

They're almost exactly the same. The only real difference is if whether or not you want to pay a monthly fee for the multiplayer.

If you have a choice, go with the PS3 version. If not, it doesn't really matter.

PS3 because of frame-rate and of course no monthly payment but that's all on you.

PS3. L1 and R1 are better than RB and LB

I agree with Joker369. 360 Bumpers just aren't as desirable for this game. They are not meant to be held down, and you will hold down L1/LB A LOT.

I have played the 360 version to completion and it is perfectly playable, but as most above have said, the PS3 version has a more consistent frame rate.

I got it on PS3 and had a great time with it. The only factor for me was that I don't always have a subscription to Xbox Live Gold but with PSN being free I can always take advantage of Dark Souls' cool online features.

Thanks to everyone for the replies!!

I prefer Dual Shock controls for RPGs.

PS3 version for the controller and online features just make this game feel like a PS3 game. Although the framerate is better than the xbox360 version there is still slowdown in the PS3 version. Specifically, in Blighttown the game gets really choppy at times.

The PS3 version seems to have a much more active community/multiplayer.
