The best thing to do is check reviews at sties like IGN, gamespot, etc. They usually have video reviews also so you watch the game play at the same time.

I usually go to gamerankings.com, does anybody know if there is any online stuff, if so I would say 360 otherwise I may do ps3 since it should look better.

From what I've read the versions are pretty identical. You maybe getting some additional DLC with the XBOX version (at a cost I'm sure) but otherwise you can't go wrong either way.

Of course you can always wait for the official reviews to come out shortly after release.

Get it for 360! the controller is better, achievements, and the graphics are almost always better (Soul Calibur 4 being the latest example: 720p on PS3 vs 1080p on 360) I rarely buy games for my PS3 gonna pick up Littlebigplanet though

I only have a 720p tv, ps3 is hooked up w/ HDMI, 360 w/ component and optical. I have a 5.1 surround so I figure the sound will be better w/ ps3. Everything about this game is going to kick ass.

360 the controller to me just feels better for games. So when given the choice I go with xbox of ps. But I wouldn't think there would be any difference other than that. You get gamer points on the 360 as well if that means anything to you

I hate blockbuster online

The Xbox 360 will have exclusive DLC. Bethesda said during E3 that the PS3 version will NOT have DLC.

Since this game is gonna be huge, the cost of playing it on the xbox will be marginally higher. The rechargeable PS3 controller is better suited to play games longer than 20 hours. If you don't have rechargeable batteries for your xbox controller, go with PS3. Of course I cannot compare the wattage consumption of 360 and PS3

. I also feel Ps3 has a bigger engine to play heavy games like this.
