I’m picking up my copy of Red Dead Redemption today for the PS3. Is anyone else getting it? If so for what console?

Im on the fence… Im not buying it until I hear some convincing impressions… if not its a solid rental.
C’mon dudes we need impressions coz all the reports I’m reading are saying graphically the PS3 version is significantly inferior to the 360 version.
360 is running at 720p whereas PS3 is sub HD.
More texture pop in on PS3360 is alot sharper and has more detail on screen.
They even say that even though there is alot missing from the PS3 version it still runs at a worse framerate than 360
If this is the case I might have to get the 360 version afterall.

Some of the shit i been reading about the differences between the 2 versions.
ResolutionFirstly, as we said yesterday, the PS3 version of Red Dead Redemption runs at a significantly lower resolution than the Xbox 360 version. 640 by 1152 pixels, in fact, compared to the Xbox 360’s 720 by 1280, which is 184,000 pixels missing, or about 20%. What does this mean? Well, you’ll actually see less on the PS3 version, with a lower resolution display blown up to fill the same physical space on your TV screen, as can be seen in these comparison shots.
Anti-aliasing
The Xbox 360 version of RDR looks super sharp, but with nicely smoothed edges where the edges should be, due to the 360’s 2x multi-sampling anti-aliasing which specifically targets the edges of polygons. The PS3 version, however, uses an ‘all over’ quincunx effect which simply blurs the overall image just before you see it. Coupled with the lower resolution, this quincunx effect actually serves to make the image even more blurry, which is a shame.
Missing Objects
The PS3 version, in spite of simpler visual post-processing effects as mentioned above, still manages to actually have missing objects throughout the game. Indeed, areas of grass are more patchy, shadows are simpler (and sometimes missing) and the overall effect is a less densely populated landscape, which is particularly noticable when compared with the Xbox 360 version in the same areas. The trees in particular look blocky and simplified on the PlayStation 3 version. Does this affect the game? No, but it’s frustrating to see.
Simpler Objects
Textures appear more basic and low resolution, there’s some missing self-shadowing, the level of detail pop-ins are more obvious, and there are missing characters on signs in the PS3 version. Naturally, the polygonal models are the same where really important (the main protagonists) but again, in terms of what’s out there in the backgrounds and the scenery, it’s a little more basic than we’d have liked.
Framerate
And yet, despite all this, the PS3 version doesn’t manage to hold up the same framerate as the silky smooth Xbox 360 version. It’s hardly bad (and there’s some argument as to whether it’s even better than the one in Grand Theft Auto IV) but, according to reports, not nearly a constant frame rate which is actually suprising given the graphical chops and changes presumably made to actually assist the frame rate. This is the only key area which affects gameplay – how much is probably down to the individual gamer.Twitter.com/scatigno1

Im borrowing spacebarz ps3 copy tonight so Ill give it a couple of hours and record a watch me suck video. Should be up tomorrow or late tonight.
Lol hurry up dudes. I’m getting my copy first thing in the morning and I need to know which one I’m getting.
