I agree. If you have both consoles, the 360 version of GRID just pips PS3 to the post by having anti-aliasing, and the controller works better with it too. This isn't to say the PS3 looks or plays bad - mid-race you won't notice the jaggies, and the framerate is just as solid - so PS3 owners won't lose out. In fact, I picked up the wrong controller a few times when I was testing them side by side - it was that close. |

Both demos were crap. I was so disappointed because i was expecting so much from both titles.
Bourne is just a game of cutscene after cutscene and the driving section of the game....was that meant to be some sort of a joke. GRID just doesn't feel like a good racing game at all. I'm just thankful that GT5 is something to look forward to when it finally bloody comes out. |

Dudes, turn of the driving aids in GRID.
They are only there to broaden the market for this game, but racingfans should just switch them off. By the way, I love GRID |

Yes the PS3 version is worse, what a shock, can't wait for the head to head.

The PS3 and 360 demos of GRID look almost identical IMO, but the big difference is that the PS3 version has a lot more screen tearing whereas it's negligible in the 360 version: blink and you'll miss it! Granted these demos are based on unfinished builds so it's possible the PS3 version will be improved before launch. Hope so for the sake of people buying it for the PS3. CM DiRT on the PS3 had a lot less tearing than the 360 version for example.

Finally managed to win a Mustang race on Extreme, by overtaking the first one car in the final stretch. Car all banged up.
Just finished watching the replay. My god this is AW-SOME. Haven't had this feeling since... well... since DTM3 |

GRID demo is a bit of a mixed bag.
I felt handling in Dirt was spot on, but in GRID some of the realism has been lost. The cars move too fast, there's less feeling of connection with the road and the surfaces have less grip than you would expect. Physics are good, but with extremes turned up it gets an arcadey vibe. Drifting - why, I don't need that pointless shit. On the positive side interaction with other cars and damage is excellent which makes for fun racing. GT in comparison may be prettier but sterile. Based on the demo I can't help feeling that an opportunity for something really special has been wasted. |

tagem: a quick google will give you full instructions, but basically just set up a new user account on your PS3, enter a ficticious US address (Shannon Doherty Street, Beverly Hills, 60210 works fine) and it will sign you into the US PSN. Ditto for Japan. Fine for freebies, but you might run into trouble with a non US visa card for purchased content. Though there are apparently "virtual" visa card services that will fake the card region too if you really need it.

GRID... not sure. AA was nice on 360, felt faster on PS3. Basically same as DiRT in that respect.
Got the Bourne demo on 360 ages ago from GAME...... random QuickTime events and slow loading FT fucking L! Fighting feels really good though if utterly basic. Indeed, stick with the demo and you have seen every facet of the entire game. Fighting, racing, shooting, QT hell. |
