PS2 version, so that I can finally play something against TTP
Opinions are like assholes. You can try to quantify yours as much as you want, but to me, DS2 controller is simply the best of them, analog sticks and all. I simply don't buy the whole 'loosenes' thing, as I have never had a problem with a single game. In any case, I'm mostly using Logitech's cordless action controller now, which f'n rocks, but is still not quite as comfortable as DS2 (although it has some ergonomy advantages of it's own)
Having said that, Xbox version of this game is better if it supports custom soundtracks (it apparently WILL, which is great) and if the PS2 version doesn't support FF wheel (it apparently WON'T, which is crap)
Musashi Wins!
FLAWLESS VICTOLY!
Um...I own both, love both...but obviously I'm going to buy it for Xbox. Love the rationalizations from the usual suspects though.

480p support in both versions. I'm really looking forward to Dark10x or someone to compare voth versions, though. Developers have claimed there are basically no differences in the visuals, but I'm suspecting there's always something small one way or another.
If the demo is anything to go by, after you install it with the HDLoader, the load times are super short on the PS2.
Xbox of course. I'll never buy a PS2 game when there are other versions available basically -- it just doesn't match up 99.9% of the time. Plus, the Xbox version is the one that sold me at E3.
Oh and that no differences thing is bullshit. I watched videos of the PS2 one recently and saw BOE's screencaps and there's noticable jaggies more or less everywhere. It simply isnt true.

Please tell me you are joking? You are comparing some crappy web videos with even crappier photos of a TV screen and making such conclusion? I have the demo of the PS2 version and I simply don't see what they can do to improve image quality, aside of applying a real FSAA, for example (which I really doubt will be in the Xbox version either).

But if I had to choose one of the two if I owned both consoles, I'd still choose the PS2 version. The reason i'd choose it is online, I refuse to pay a monthly (or yearly) fee for online gaming on top of my internet bill.
I'm in total agreement here. I'll be getting the PS2 version, also. I don't have an X-Box, but if I did, I wouldn't be playing it online for the reason you described.

Yeah, the PS2 demo doesn't have jaggies -- looks really REALLY clean to me.

Xbox. I prefer the controller for racing games and PS2 online is garbage compared to Xbox Live for me.
"WRONG! PS2 was made from "ground up"! Xbox version is a PS2 port"
Nope. Both games were built together by different teams. There wasn't a lead platform for either. The GameSpot interview with the developers stated this.

Xbox version.
Online play is a non-issue for me, but it's the best of the two.
Oh, and there's no GC version.

Yes I've held a brick before, and maybe I was exagerrating a little, but the point I was trying to make (as I can see you or most likely nobody picked up) is that the Xbox controller is just as uncomfortable as holding a brick would be (kinda exagerrated again, but I think you know my point).

Seeing as though there is no GC version this time around I'll be buying an Xbox for it.

I thought the xbox version didn't support custom soundtracks? Does someone have something saying otherwise?

I can confirm that the demo does not support any kind of FF wheel, there's no options or anything in the demo, it's very straightforward.
However, someone here who seems to know stuff from some source, has found out that EA has requested from Criterion to remove the FF support from the game, for whatever reason.
i find the S the best for racing games, analog triggers for gas and brake just rock too much, it was nice evolution of the DC controller, which i thought was fantastic for racing games.
oh...ill probably get BO3 once its cheap, O2 is the priority for me now. ill most likely get the xbox version, controller and visuals.

Xbox-version for me.
What if we get the info from Alex Ward directly instead then. They're developing both versions at the same time, but they develop for the PS2 and then go onto Xbox:
Alex Ward: We just set out deliberately to make the PS2 version look like the best Xbox game you've ever seen.
Eurogamer: It pretty much does. You could have said that about Burnout 2 to be honest.
Alex Ward: Yeah. And we were happy. And we're really happy with it this time, so we've done parallel development this time. But a lot of other companies are just, they're PC developers and they're working on Xbox and they're going down to PS2, whereas we're the other side; we're starting on PS2, and then go onto Xbox. So some of the Xbox guys might be thinking 'oh but when you go down to Xbox it's not as good', but I don't think you could really look at the game this time and say 'oh that's a bit rubbish on Xbox', because, well we've looked at all the other Xbox racers. I think you could stand it side by side with Forza or something. I think what we're doing with reflections, what we're doing with texture detail, the game looks glorious.

Can't go online with HDLoader.

That was me. No FF wheel support whatsoever in PS2 version. Worst. Mistake. EVER!
How do you guys play driving games with the DS2? It doesn't have analogue triggers, and I cant hold smooth sweeping bends with the sticks coz they're too loose. I find myself having to 'tap-tap-tap' to negotiate wide turns, whereas with controller S I can just hold the stick at 30%, 35%, whatever y'know and I can be on 75% throttle and feathering the brakes at about 10% at the same time, it's all there at my fingertips.
5.1 sound and loading from the HD and custom soundtracks make it an Xbox purchase regardless of controllers for me.
