Xbox360 har dog fått enerett på såkalt DLC-content, ekstra-oppdrag som du senere kan betale for å laste ned via xbox-live. Første skal være oppdrag på rundt 10timer og kommer i august.

Online funksjonen på PS3 har blitt visst bedre enn 360 sin på spill som kommer på begge platformer, flere servere, mindre lagg osv osv.

Eksempelvis?

Burnout paradise feks.

Hvis en utvikler putter mer innsats eller simpelthen velger bedre løsninger for en av versjonene så vil det såklart kunne bety at en av versjonene er bedre på en plattform uten at det nødvendigvis betyr plattformen er "bedre". Du kan sikkert finne 20 spill på ps3 som har noe som er bedre enn på 360 og 20 på 360 som er bedre enn på ps3. Men det ville være urimelig å håndplukke de 20 spillene på "sin side" som et argument for at den ene konsollen er bedre enn andre.

Ettersom hovedfokuset på GTA4 har vært xbox360, dvs. den ble først annonsert til 360, har fått ekslusivt DLC-content og vært mest vist frem til media så ville jeg nesten annta at de små forskjellene om de skulle finnes burde manifestere seg på den plattformen. Men jeg tror nok de vil bli rimelig identiske dog.

Installation
The PlayStation 3 version has a mandatory 3.4 GB hard drive installation that will be the longest 7 minutes and 20 seconds of your life if you're chomping at the bit to play. It's initially an annoyance, but PS3 owners will welcome it. There is no option to install the game to an Xbox 360 hard drive.

Frame Rate
The Grand Theft Auto series has never been synonymous with a rock solid frame rate, something it generally seems to get a pass for. While GTA IV is smoother in general than it's predecessors, it can expectedly suffer during chaos. The Xbox 360 version seemed capable of achieving a smoother frame rate, peaking higher in certain circumstances, such as in confined spaces or during light traffic, but both versions seemed to regularly run at a similar clip.

Pop-In & Loading
With a huge, seamless streaming world, data must be constantly read from the disc. The PS3 version, with its required HDD install, loads missions a couple seconds faster and decreases pop-in. The Xbox 360 version can suffer from some very noticeable texture loading, as things like trees, vehicles and building signs will regularly pop-in as one tools about town. It can be distracting, especially during high speed chases, and the PS3 version isn't entirely immune from it, but it's not a game killing problem.

Graphics
The two versions are so close to identical, visually, that putting together a comparison was a challenge. Initially, it appeared that the PS3 suffered from more noticeable aliasing than its 360 counterpart, but after eyeballing the final retail copy, they appear to be on par. I noticed that the paint filter applied to cover some of the game's imperfections appeared a tiny bit muddier on the PS3 version, with night time scenes seeing more streakiness. Some of these minor complaints may be the result of our particular television settings and require the finest of fine tooth combs to assess.

Downloadable Content
The Xbox 360 version is announced to have two exclusive downloadable content packs for purchase. Details on what will be contained in those two exclusive batches of DLC are sparse, so we can't judge what they'll bring to the table, nor do we know if the PlayStation 3 version will eventually get its own DLC from Rockstar. If you're looking for more GTA IV, and you may very well be after you've completed the core game, you're going to want the 360 version.

Achievements
The Xbox 360 version has the requisite list of Achievements exclusive to the platform, creative and challenging goals that sometimes go beyond the regular gaming experience. However, as with other GTA games, stat-tracking for kills, stunt jumps, and the dozens of extras will keep completionists on the PS3 side happy.

Motion Controls
The PS3 version has optional SIXAXIS motion controls for piloting helicopters, steering boats and doing motorcycle tricks. You'll probably leave it off, just like I did.

Good Vibrations
GTA IV supports vibration in the Xbox 360 controller and the DualShock 3, so PS3 owners won't be left in the force feedback lurch.
