NFS Shift for Xbox 360 or PS3??

[toontoonizer]

Hellooo all,

So i'm considering buying NFS: Shift but would like some advice from the people in these forums as to what version i should get. Any advice would be helpful, of particular importance are Graphics (I am a graphics whore) and seeing as i have both the MS Racing Wheel and the DFGT, which wheel provides a better driving experience are the two most important factors.

If anyone could give me some insight as to how well the MS Wheel works with Shift, and the same for the DFGT, and if someone has both a direct comparison would be wonderful!

Thanks in advance

As I've mentioned in a couple other threads, the PS3 version is much much better handling-wise.

Force feedback is stronger and much more detailed/precise, steering precision is in a different league... and you avoid much of the straight line wobble and silly lift-oversteer that plagues the xbox version. The MS wheel's pedals are also a bit of a nightmare to use in a game that severely punishes lockup.

The downside is that the PS3 suffers from framerate issues on certain tracks. That might not bother you, but it's worth mentioning.

Well if you will play on a 1080 HD TV take note that the PS3 only supports 720P unfortunately.
I play with a DFP and it's a great overall experience so it should be similar with the DFGT.

That's only a problem if you have a 1080i tv that doesn't take 720p signals. I can assure you that the 360 version is not 1080p native.

360 1080P games simply upconvert the 720P image.

Yeah and it's exactly my problem, unfortunately.

Hmm, it seems like the PS3 version is the way to go. I feel the DFGT is a much better wheel than the MS one, and that seems to be what it boils down to. I have a 720p HDTV so the 1080 upscaling won't be a problem.

however i heard that ps3 is not that good graphically compared to 360
