This is the only time I've regretted buying the PS3 version. The 360 version is much better

Other than graphics and achievements what qualifies as "much better" on the 360???

Unlikely, but I hope they go the Burnout route with this, and make this content free.

The graphics really! With a game like Grid it is especially important because you need to see the changes in the track more quickly at the speed this game runs. Sharper graphics makes this easier

I'd be nice if there were more tracks.

That's to say assuming there's not ones to unlock, since I only picked it up last week. But I've not been able to find a definitive list anywhere.

360 version of Grid certainly looked a hell of a lot nicer on my tele. Don't know what that would be, but there you go...

I didn't notice the difference between the PS3 and 360 when playing the demo. It was only having played the PS3 version I bought for a while that I noticed the difference when dipping back into the 360 demo. I'm almost tempted to trade it in for the 360 one

Lol @ dazrichards

Go get a decent PC and buy the game. 1920 * 1200 can't be beat, can it?

dazrichards, I don't know. Grid ain't a 10 game, and Edge gave the PS3 version a 9, saying it was visually one of the most accomplished racers out there, so go figure.

IMO, the 360 version of GRID is more accomplished in terms of visual fidelity (better anti-alaising and less screen tearing) than the PS3 version... it's one of the reasons I opted for the 360 version... that plus the better controller (IMO obviously). The two games are very close but the 360 has the edge to my eyes (and TV!).

Some other developers have been able to coax the same performance out of the PS3 as the 360. For example, Burnout Paradise and the super awesome Pure demos look almost indistinguishable. It looks like PS3 developers are starting to get to grips with the hardware and we should see multiformat games on both platforms that look more and more indistinguishable from one another.

I bought the PS3 version because it looked bloody good. It's just that later I thought the 360 version looked sharper. Could partly be my TV settings of course

I don't know why people are talking about the insiginificant difference in the graphics. The anti-aliasing on the 360 version is better but only noticible for me in the menu screens. The in race graphics, gameplay, sounds are virtually identical. Achievements may be a benefit for some. But really with a game this equal on both platforms it's really down to personal preference of the controller - which for me meant PS3 version.

Anyway on topic, great to hear there is new content but will depend on the price.
