    I'm tired of games that want to be movies, so neither.   Might get it on the cheap later on the year for the 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.

    Getting it on the 360. Swapping discs isn't a huge deal to me.

    If I do buy then definitely PS3. One Blu-Ray, less compression, and it was originally a PS3 exclusive so it *should* be the better version.

    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? "
    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.

    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...

    360, I see no reason not to. I love me some achievements and don't care about trophies at all. Both will have basically the same graphics most likely, and I don't care at all about swapping discs.

    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.

    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.

    A game that spent a big portion of dev time as a PS3 exclusive and is a now announced as a 3 disc 360 game I think I'll go with the PS3 version. At the very least this will be a FFXIII situation with the 360 version having graphical differences due to compression.

    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.

    GTA IV and RDR were developed on the 360 and ported to PS3, an experience that taught Rockstar Games that porting to PS3 totally wrecks the game
    which is why L.A. Noire is having the PS3 as lead platform, and ported to X360 afterwards. so expect it to be graphically superior because R* are using the PS3's powerful resources this time around.

    it was even planned to be an exclusive before they decided to port to X360. and Agent is going to be a PS3 exclusive, so R* are on the right track of rectifying their terrible visual work in the PS3 department.

    Either way, it's a shame there's no PC version. i'm blowing tons of cash on a PC upgrade in a couple of months.. would've been awesome to max out L.A. Noire

    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)

    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).

    Don't like their exclusive content for PS3, or their exclusive preorder deals. As a customer I don't like to take it up the bum, and not buying the game is my way of showing this to Take2/Rockstar/Team Bondi. It seems like I'm in the minority though, so enjoy this continuing costumer "service".

    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


    Unless I hear that this game is Red Dead Redemption combined with LA Confidential, though, I will be holding off on purchasing it immediately.

    360 version, as I (still) don't own a PS3. I'd love to get the version for the console it was developed for, but on the other hand it's nice to add to my gamerscore and I don't care about two disc swaps in a 20+ hour game. Sure, it's not ideal but it's no game-breaker either.

    haha

    First of all, it's The Agency that got cancelled. a multiplatform spy MMO, not Agent, the PS3 exclusive from Rockstar Games
    and secondly, Team Bondi are as good as bought by Rockstar Games. expect them to change their name to Rockstar Australia anytime soon.. They're not an independent team who's only using Rockstar as a publisher, they're using the Rockstar engine (RAGE), the Rockstar animation system (Euphoria), and using Rockstar resources and technology, like the facial motion capture tech..

    this is a GTA game with better tech, better textures and world details, and your character on the other side of the law. it's a tweaked Rockstar Games game, developed just like GTA IV and RDR, but on the PS3 this time, after learning from past mistakes.
