i doubt anybody here has played both of those versions. not much point asking.

"the PS3 version neglects to apply directional lights from lamps on the ground texture maps below. They simply appear unlit by comparison to the 360 and PC"

"Put into comparison, during our video test comprised of battling the 360 tears 24.1 per cent of its frames overall, while the PS3 turns in an average of 32.7 per cent torn frames during the very same scenarios."

"he PS3 produces a sustained 40fps as the enemy horde rises from the outskirts of the town, generating an uneven sensation while moving our Barbarian character. The 360 fares much better here overall by bottoming out at 50fps with likewise tearing. "

"the 360 offers a performance advantage over PS3"

Faceoff

360 version bro :cool:

To be straight with you, neither. I don't know if that was the answer that you might have been looking for, but Diablo is not going to play NEARLY as fluidly on a console. Those games are made to be played on a computer wether you like it or not.

The game is pretty disappointing on the PC, so I think it'll be even worse in the consoles.

Major Nelson says get the 360 version.

PC

-"Fromthe top of your head to the tips of your fingers, Diablo III offers less satisfaction to console gamers than it did to PC users."

New Level Cap - 70
All existing classes will get:

• New Skills
• New Runes
• New Passives

New Act

• New City - The Survivor's Enclave
• The majority of the act happens in Westmarch
• Other areas include The Pandemonium Fortress, a Zakarum Cathedral, Moldering Waterway, Old Storehouse and the Wolf Gate
• There are more, not yet announced, parts of the Act
• Seamless transitioning between interior and exterior zones
• All exterior parts of the Act should be fully randomized
• Similar in size to Diablo 3's Act II
• Much darker than what we're used to in Diablo 3. "You quite literally have to wade through a knee-deep carpet of pale, rotting corpses in order to pursue your next objective. When you walk through, the sounds are truly wrenching, and the ambiance of it is enough to make even the Mad King Leoric wish he'd thought to decorate similarly." (Source)

New Lore

• New Boss in the game - Malthael
• The ex-Archangel of Wisdom, Malthael, is now the Reaper of Souls. He can take the souls of his enemies and is Death incarnate. During the opening cinematic we can see him fight against Tyrael and taking the Black Soulstone. His main goal appears to be to end the Eternal Conflict
• Malthael's actions seem to be "justified", since El'Druin cannot harm him
• Malthael's ultimate goal is to destroy Sanctuary
• Malthael's scythes do not have a name and he no longer uses his chalice - Calad'ar
• We will be seeing the Archangels in the expansion as well as some of the Evils
• Hell is in chaos due to the missing Evils
• Two Books were found in the game by French site Judgehype. The first signed by Urzael, the second by Hamish Bode. Here are their rough translations:
  
  • We must do everything in our power to bring down the Nephalem so that the collection of souls is not interrupted. This will be the key to victory for Malthael.
  • I can hear them. The voices speak to me again. What? Death comes? I can not die! I can not! I'm too big for my life to go away and. Please tell me how I can avoid my fate. You want me to do this? Yes, I will! I promise. I will do anything.

New Feature: Loot Runs

• Part of the new Adventure type game mode (includes Nephalem Trials, Bounties, Exploreation)
• 15-20 minute completely random dungeons!
• Random weather!
• Random enemies!
• Random boss... or even 2!
• Multitiered (several levels deep)!
• There is something you need to do to unlock Loot Runs in the game. Will be announced at BlizzCon

New Feature: Nephalem Trials

• Part of the new Adventure type game mode (includes Loot Runs, Bounties, Exploration)
• Nephalem Trials are portals located around the world
• They are challenge-based trials
• Monsters come in waves with increasing difficulty
• Bigger efficiency - bigger rewards, in the forms of Resplendent chests
• They are meant to be trials that the Nephalem made for each other to test their skill

Loot 2.0

• Less items will drop in comparison to D3 Vanilla.
• Vanilla farming run would give 256 normal, 399 magic, 275 rares and 1 legendary item, in Reaper of Souls the same run would give 73normal, 266 magic, 83 rare and 6 legendary items!
• White items will be useful as a new crafting reagent.
• Smart Drop is a system which gives each item a chance that its affix rolls will be focused on the class currently being played.
• From some of the items seen (3k DPS and 300+ mainstat weapons), the new Level 70 items will have more potential and (eventually) overpower all current Level 63 Affix Items.
• All Legendaries can roll at all levels (with power/affixes and level requirement that match that level).
• Legendary will be build-changers, by drastically changing particular skills.

Legendary Effect Examples:

• A fist weapon that refunds the Dashing Strike spirit cost if it hits an enemy more than 25 yards away. (Screenshot)
• A wand that has a chance to summon Hydras when you kill an ememy. (Screenshot)
• A (reimagined) Puzzle Ring that summons a goblin which, after picking up 40 white items, will drop a Yellow item (with the chance of it being a Legendary). (Screenshot)
• A Crusader Flail that has a chance to pull enemies towards the character and slow them. (Screenshot)

Paragon 2.0

• The Paragon system has had a huge overhaul. It is no longer per-character, but account wide
• Instead of the current bonuses your account gains 1 Paragon Point per level to spend on different stats
• No longer has a cap
• Stats are separated into Core (Str, Dex, Int, Vit), Attack (Crit Chance, Crit Damage, Attack Speed, Cooldown Reduction), Defense (Health %, Resist All, Armor, Dodge %, Block Chance %) and Utility (Run Speed, Magic Find, Gold Pickup Radius)
• Paragon Points can be respecced
• Each Paragon Level adds one paragon point to all your characters. You can distribute them differently for each character
• Retroactively Paragon Points will be determined by your overall experience gained so far, not the sum of your Paragon level number for your characters
• Paragon levels are separate for Normal and Hardcore modes
• Dying in Hardcore does not take away from your earned Paragon Points (Source)

New Artisan: The Mystic

• Enchants existing gear - can reroll one affixe of Rare and Legendary items
• The player chooses which affix will be rerolled
• As of right now enchanting gear binds it to your account
• Transmogrifies items - changes the look of your gear and right now it looks like it'll cost you Demonic Essences and/or Rare and Magical items.
• Items needs to be "unlocked" in order to be transmogrified to.

The Existing Artisans

• New Gem - Diamond
  
  • Weapons: increases damage to Elites (3% @ Flawed)
  • Helms: reduces cooldown of skills (11% @ Flawed)
  • Armor: increases All Resistance (10 @ Flawed)
• New Recipes for the Jeweler and Blacksmith

New Monsters

• Several new affixes has been created and one has been mentioned - Crossfire. It's not yet known what it actually does.
• Many new monsters have been added to the game - the Seraph, Summoner of the Dead, Executioner, Death Maiden and a few not-yet-named ones.
• One of the new ranged enemies has the new behaviour of moving away while shooting at you

Quality of Life

• Toughness is a new stat displayed in the inventory, that so far seems to show the EHP of the character
• Nephalem Valor now stacks from very early levels (confirmed for 30+)
• There will "probably" be 1-2 added character slots
• Followers now have side-quests in Act V. We're going to meet the Scoundrel's brother!
• There are talks of the Stash being increased
• Every new boss you kill has a guaranteed Legendary item drop
• There will be changes to the chat system, but they're not revealed yet
• This is still under development, but so far it looks like Run Speed cap will be increased

Pre-Expansion Patch
Blizzard have announced which features will be unlocked with the expansion and which will come as a pre-expansion patch. Here's what you'll get if you don't buy the expansion:

• Paragon 2.0
• Loot 2.0
• Loot Runs
• Nephalem Trials

Probably whichever platform your friends will buy the game on. If that doesn't matter, I'd say PS3 cause of the exclusive items.Merex760

It would of been better on Wii U or Vita imo.

Do yourself a favor save your money the game sucks.

just as a word of warning i knew 3 guys that bought it at launch and not a one of them was playing it past two weeks.

Consolites still living in the stone age with no internet. 

If you arent moving to nextgen, get the 360 version

If you are getting a PS4, get the PS3 version, since you will be able to export your char data to the PS4 version

(I say this now because no X1 version has been announced, so this might change in the future)

Options in best order 1) Whichever one you have friends willing to play online/can bring controllers for multiplayer 2) Whichever one you have online forBlabadon

Diablo 3 is a really good game, don't let the haters deter you. I have over 800 hours into the PC version and I still play it (CANT WAIT FOR EXPANSION)

Play whatever version you have friends playing it with

if you dont have friends playing it.... play the PS3 version, no subs. required.

or get the PC version for the REAL Diablo experience... but I'm guessing thats not an option, or you would have the game already.

I go with PS3 when it comes to multiplats now. That's just me though.

A game of such low graphical fidelity is still not HD on consoles LOL, 1120x584p and cannot even maintaing 60fps :lol:
