crap no wonder I saw a slightly pop out display in xmb 1080p-> game 640p, like normally for a game with lower resolution do

IINM, the game actually plays at 720p, but it was created in 640p and is scaled to 720p by the PS3. Sorta like HDMI DVD players.

Leaving the graphic aside it is still playable, although I myself had experienced the frame rate dropping issue.

GTA for PC always looks better than Playstation. Just look at San Adreas for PS2 and PC.

But don't forget how GTA4 has issues on the PC.

Also, (arguably) controller feels nicer in hand than a keyboard.

GTA4 is native 630p but is stretched to 720p.

Perhaps your TV or AVR can blow it up (aka upscale) it to 1080p. However, the PS3 will output it in 720p only.

I have a 1080p display and PS3 is set to go up to 1080p, but whenever GTA4 is running, the TV receives only 1280 X 720p resolution.

There are some graphical hitches, but it still plays well.

granted, its not the best looking game, but to say its better looking in 360 is just plain crap. they look exactly the SAME.

Not really...

IINM, the 360 version runs native 720p.

PC always looks better in terms of graphics.

bout the controller thingy, u can always buy game pad for PCs...

GTA4 looks the same on both consoles, u want best quality and performance at the same time, opt for mid-to high end PC system..

But who cares, i play console games because of the game titles and their 'potato couch mode' capability...

weird..looks the same to me. some people must have bionic eyes to see tat less 90 lines on their hdtv for ps3's version.

Yes 360 have 3 times the power of ps3..it looks soo much better in 720 and soo much smoother...

to topic starter...you've made a huge mistake buying a ps3 and also buying the game for teh ps3 instead of the 360...better go and sell them both and buy a 360.

problem solved..can we now close this thread?
