L.A. Noire is a detective thriller developed by Team Bondi in Australia and published by Rockstar Games.
Are you buying L.A. Noire for the 360 or PS3 ?
I am going to get it for which ever system it runs better on. I will admit though that the 3 disc thing has me looking at the PS3 version more.
" @bonorbitz said:Yea, you switch disks twice, from what Team Bondi people have said 'at natural points in the story'. So either all the side missions are available on all disks or they're locked off after you take promotions. It honestly doesn't sound like 'issues' to me.Shit, there's a disc swapping issue?I heard the 360 version was coming on 3 discs but I didn't hear about the swapping issue. Got any juicy deets? "" PS3 after hearing about the disc swap issue. "
Since it is a single player game, I might swing the PS3 move here. Three disks is a lot of stuff I don't want to deal with on the Xbox. Then again, I play my Xbox much, much more than the PS3, and getting it on PS3 is asking for me to never actually play it. Which is what I did with God of War 1, 2, and 3, Resistance 2, inFamous, Motorstorm, Darksiders, MGS4, FFXIII, and LittleBigPlanet...
"PS3 after hearing about the disc swap issue. "
Really, it is just for the exclusive content.

PS3 for me. It comes down to graphical fidelity, ease of play since I don't have to swaps disks, and I generally prefer the playstation controller. Mostly it's a personal choice thing, I just like the PS3 better though I own both.
" It's a though decision between having three discs and having a really uncomfortable controller. "haha
I really don't mind swapping disks, so I guess 360.
It'd be nice if they put it up on steam sometime in the future.
I'm going to rent it on PS3 and not give a fuck.
" I wanted it to be on PC so it would look better :( "you and me both, man.. i'd pay full price for a PC RDR though i have it on PS3
A lot of people here apparently have the luxury of owning both systems. I don't, so 360 for me. I guess I will have to endure swapping discs three times per playthrough. WOE IS ME.

Ps3, not because I have a choice, it's the only console I have this gen. At least everything will fit on a blu ray disc. I have my doubt on the ps3 version graphically seeing other rockstar developed games.

I clicked 360 (the console I always buy my multiplats for) but I'm still a little on the fence.
I want to pre-order it for the sake of a trivial goodie but I also want to wait to see how it performs. So far it seems screen-tearing exists in just about every multiplat release to varying degrees (more so than exclusives in my experience) and it's something that has been bugging me more and more.
(...that and Diablo III really is really pushing me towards building/buying a new rig)

Noire"
PS3, extra content and no disc swapping make it a no brainer for me.
EDIT: Just throwing this out achievments and trophies are both cool but I really don't care about either.
Not getting this game before they release all content in one package (preferebly on xbox, but if the PS is technically superior I'm going that route).
I reserved LA Noire a couple months back for 360. Before I knew about the multiple discs and the exclusive content for PS3. Going to try to transfer over my reservation this weekend. This, however is going to be an awesome game regardless of console.
PS3, 1 disc > 3 discs
PS3, mostly because I don't buy games for it all that often, but as soon as I heard about the multiple discs that pretty much sealed the deal.
