Or, they could have been done, but with corners cut. GTA IV's euphoria stuff couldn't have run on PS2 or Xbox, but if you think they could have cut it down and still made it work, then you could say the exact same thing about 99% of 360 games.

If you went through the jump from 2D to 3D, then most people expect every generation to take a leap like that, and it's just not the case. You don't need new hardware to produce a game that's original and never been seen before. People expect far too much.

Anyway, PS3 seems to benefit from having the game install to the HDD (saving 3-4 seconds of loading time! Wow!) and there are some very minor graphical wins (AA is better apparently), plus Sixaxis controls, but that's about it. Nice to see Rockstar made sure they got it as "right" as they possibly could for both machines, although for some reason I don't think that fact will stop the endless fanboy wars over which is better any time soon. Yet again I find myself wishing Sony would get on and give me the perfect excuse to buy a PS3. Come on where's that MGS4 bundle... (and so on)!

Result: omg, a PS3 version that doesn't suck! :-D Sounds like the PS3 version has a very, very slight edge, but barely worth talking about. Their recommendation - "buy the version that your friends are buying so that you can play multiplayer with them". Damn it. I knew I should've gotten some friends.
