If graphic superiority for each system is really that important, watch this video to decide.

Yeah, but if you have both consoles (I don't btw) and have to decide one or the other, where gameplay is the same, you'd choose the one with better graphics, right?thebobevil said:gameplay > graphics
thebobevil said:No ... I wouldn't ...
I'd choose the 360 version, regardless, as it has exclusive rights to all the downloadable content ... PS3 owners will have to wait for the expansion disc in 2009 ... Microsoft threw a pile of cash at Rockstar to ensure this ...

Seems like it'll be DLC too.
In the original article, the maker of the game said 'I'm sure PS3 will be getting downloadable content too'. The DLC contract was probably Timed Exclusive.thebobevil said:warmijwilfaain said:Who said anything about an expansion disc?

Microsoft paid $50 million to secure the 360's exclusive right to DLC ... PS3 owners will bet the content on a disc, if they wish to purchase it, next year ... do some research ...

Saw the same article I think, also:
"PS3 owners of GTA IV are reporting that they are receiving errors when trying to connect online with the game to play a multi-player game. They have been receiving the following message: "Cannot connect to game provider, please try again."
Rockstar: If game freezes, erase game data and start over
According to a chap over at the US PlayStation forums, a Rockstar has said that those who are experiencing problems with GTA IV freezing should "erase the game data (the original install and the game saves) and then start over." This apparently solves the issue.
PS3 GTA IV runs at 640p *UPDATE*
After receiving some better ps3 screens, Quaz51 from the beyond3d forum has concluded that the PS3 version of GTA IV does indeed run at 640p w/o AA. However a "good post-process filter on PS3 version do a good job for hide aliasing and improve visual." The 360 version runs at 720p + 2AA. (Thanks Artur) UPDATE: Also, one site has found that "there is no full-screen video mode for in-game TV in the Xbox 360 version." The PS3 version does has this option but with the 360 you are forced to "view what's on the box in a small viewing area."

Good news, dot50cal send me very good screenshot (thanks) and finally it's 1152x640p (and no AA) exactly like Halo3, perfect Dark or Dark sector PS3
even though i has clearly identified 7/8 recurrence on many different edge and screenshot but insufficient edge lenght and bad screenshot lead astray me, sorry, it's finally 8/9 and 9/10 recurrence, it's the final result!

well, I have both versions at home - its GTA so I would like to have the best version anyway.
I don't need to count pixels to tell you that neither of the versions is native 720p - 360 is NOT 720p and has almost as much aliasing as halo3 did. just compare a real 720p game to the 360 version of GTA4 side by side and you could end all the speculation within a second.
if you ask me, the differences are very minor - I will look into it tonight again. one thing is for sure: the PS3 has not better AA like IGN and other reviews were implying and the framerate in general is horrible in both versions. after the dithering debate I will mostly look into that, the HDR thing and of course a deep comparison of framerates.

no, 360 version is clearly 720p AAx2 but good post-process filter on PS3 version do a good job for hide aliasing and imrove visual, and the little more blurry aspect with more hot tint make a more cinematic feeling, probably what some tester like on PS3 version, and with less pop-in, finally every version is good (phew.... it's delicate topic )

Not seen anything about the 360 version except this:
Reps from Rockstar called the Opie and Anthony radio show today to talk about GTA IV. Rockstar said on the show that they are already working on the Xbox 360 DLC and that it may be released as soon as this summer (earlier than Microsoft's announcement that it will be coming of this Autumn).
Not saying the 360 version is better, decide that for yourself, just spreading news
