    I'm getting a PS3 soon and I was wondering, should I get this for ps3 or 360? I'm just talking graphical and framerate type stuff. Not controller preferences cause I like both.

    Well I guess they'll both be the same, wont know until it comes out. I guess you should base your purchase on which system you spend the most time on.

    I would say 360 since there will be coop, more of my friends have 360s. But I guess if your friends have PS3s, get it on PS3.

    I'm a bit confused, the PS3 version doesn't have co-op? Or is everyone just saying that online is better on 360?


    If they both have co-op get the game for the system your friends play, from the gameplay they look equal at the moment.

    EDIT: Nevermind I found an article that says co-op is on both platforms.

    I'm guessing they'll be the same. Just get it on whichever system you prefer.

    Well im getting my ps3 a couple days before this comes out and the only friends ill have on PSN right away are my cousin and bunch of people on a different forum. I doubt anybody on my 360 friends list are gonna get this and i think my cousin will. I'm just worried about the PS3 version because the PS3 used to get these multiplatform/ports and have framerate issues and i hate that.

    Well since I hate the 360 after it broke twice on me, I would have to say go with the ps3 which won`t fall apart.

    Whichever console has your friends on it.
    Forget the stupid "XBOX BROKEDED ON ME" or "PLAYSTATION IS SHIT" comments.
    1. Friends
    2. Control Preferences.

    PS3 is the lead platform so it might be better. But I'll be buying the 360 version anyway because the achievements.

    If you already have a pretty good 360 collection, I would get it for the PS3. That way you can work on your PS3 collection with the good games that come out for it.
