[QUOTE="Animator_pin_fan, post: 32807, member: 96"] Just picked up a PS3 today for playing blu-rays, and of course I had to try the newest TPA dlc first, then do a side by side comparison. First off, the PS3 has much much better anti aliasing. On the 360, even set to my favorite views, everything on the upper playfield looks muddled- (lacking detail) and fuzzy with slight jaggies. On PS3 everything is nice, crisp and clean looking- especially on the camera fly-by on Theater of Magic. Additionally on the PS3 the graphics seem a bit more glowing. All the lighting seems much more vibrant compared to the 360. However, the biggest difference graphically, seems to be the ball itself. On the PS3 the reflections on the ball seem very crisp and detailed but the reflection on the surface of the table is more dark and shadowy with only a very subtle reflection, where as the ball on the 360 looks a bit rougher with subltle jaggedness, but the ball reflection on the table looks glassy and mirrored. I much prefer the 360 ball because it feels more like the silverball is gliding across a super polished surface, but the difference is really minor. And finally (and on topic), when I first started playing I was using the bottom analog shoulder buttons, and at first, I experienced major lag, almost to the point of it being unplayable (like many of you have detailed). But after switching the the top digital shoulder buttons, while they are much less comfortable to play with, yield very snappy results. To my hands and eyes, the difference is night and day.
