PC version doesn't have depth of field effects but otherwise there's no difference at all.

Would've been nice for them to give some kind of visual boost to the PC version

The 360 seems to have a warmer pallete, or maybe higher contrast. I'm no expert so I'm not sure quite what is taking place, but the lighting in the 360 version just seems to look warmer and more "deserty".

"which presses the point of how pointless pc gaming is these days"

Well, I'm not really a PC gamer, but even I can see that basing any kind of conclusion on a single game (that started on console and was ported to PC) is mildly idiotic. It also assumes that graphical fidelity is the major decider behind peoples' platform purchasing decisions, which is naive.

That or you are just trolling, pick one.

@kangarootoo - Well said.

Yeah, PC gaming is just soooooooo pointless when we can play gems like The Sims 3, Crysis, Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War II and Company of Heroes, among others, on the consoles. ;)

Any differences here are more likely to be caused by settings on your HDTV versus your computer monitor.

It's a shame as I tend to prefer PC versions with increased graphics fidelity, however, I loved RE so much I couldn't wait and opted for the Xbox 360 version instead.

I would like 720p comparison - the 360 would not be upscaled and my PC screen is only 1280x1024 anyway...

People who can't see the difference... Have you pressed the view full resolution button? viewed on a 40" 1080p screen the difference is more than noticable.

As mentioned what size and resolution your screen is at does make a difference, but I did the benchmark on my brothers 1360x768 TV with 8xAA and it did look better than the 360 version.

You not played Crysis then?

Its not just that frame rates make a difference, GRID on the 360 feels unplayable after playing it at 60fps on the PC nevermind the higher resolution and filtering. And it this case Resi5 does play fine at 30fps but does benefit form the increase in fps, but screenshots won't show that.
