I should know whether the PS3 version supports uncompressed audio this evening, one I run the game through my 7.1 channel HDMI Yamaha receiver. Keeping my fingers crossed...

So if the PS3 version is running at 630p, does that mean the 360 version is running at 720p natively?

But... I thought the PS3 version had the edge graphically.

Just got back with my 360 version from Asda (EDIT: Well actually, an hour ago). PS3 version getting delivered tomorrow.

360 version doesn't have the horrendus pop-in everyone's describing. If anything, I would say the only even slight issue is the slightly 'low-res' feel of everything. I'd be surprised if the 360 version isn't 630p too. Also, I feel this game looks better using the VGA cable than HDMI, don't ask me why, but I had to try both cos I'm a fussy knickers.

But overall, the game looks fucking amazing. Especially during the day. It's jaw-dropping the amount of people, cars, and how alive the city feels. Literally insane. You won't all be nitpicking like this soon, I promise you. Draw distance is great for this type of game too, the amount of detail, OMG OMG FAP FAP FAP FAP etc. You will rike.

I need some sleep but I can't wait to get stuck in to this tomorrow.

And for the Sales-Agers, this Asda (UK) received an allocation of 81x 360 copies, 35x PS3 copies.

I agree. The difference is very minor, actually. Take a look at the comparison...

Here are two direct feed shots from Dark Sector on both XBOX360 and PS3. The PS3 version runs at the same resolution as GTAIV PS3 while the 360 version is a full 720p (according to Eurogamer, anyways).

Can you see a significant difference?

I don't know which is which, but the version on the right looks better from those pics.

The left picture:

a) The light looks more jagged
b) The greek-styled column under the iron railing looks less detailed
c) The little steeple-thingy (left of the gargoyle) looks less detailed; and the aliasing seems feathered out further from the edges. It looks similar to a trick one might play with Photoshop to dress up the edges of a lower res image. It could be the placement of the clouds as well. :)

We'll see, or perhaps hear. Just get the iso sizes and we'll know.
You can't play ripped PS3 iso's. Which means you might be able to find something online that claims to be the PS3 GTA4 rip but you won't be able to confirm that it's actually the game.
