GTA5 PS3 or 360?

It's been ages since i've bought a full priced game. But today, i think i'm about to get back into gaming. Which ver of GTA5 should i buy? the 360 or PS3 ?

I know there's a huge gta thread, but sorry i need a quick answer. cant be sifting thru 50 pages to find my answer.

I am most concerned with frame rate, and will happily sacrifice a little detail for a smoother frame rate.

Just get it on PS3. Apparently theres a fault with installing the 2nd disc on xbox 360. That will probably be addressed in a patch or something.

I don't think it's so much a fault as it is the way the game was intended to be played (that being only the first disc getting installed).

As for which version to get, I'd have a look at the Digital Foundry comparison of the two (can't link now because I'm at work), but it sounds like they are virtually identical apart from some slightly better looking textures on the PS3 and slightly faster framerate on the 360 in some parts.

Whichever one all your friends are on so that you can play GTA Online with them

This which is why I'm getting it on 360 instead of my PS3. Most multi plat games look the same now, only experts like the ones at digital foundry can tell the difference.

oh well, I ended up buying for the PS3, and digitally too. 18gb download. I have a multi ps3 setup in my home, so i can either play upstairs or downstairs and only one 360, so it made better sense to go with the ps3 unless the 360 was going to be obviously better.. Besides i liked the idea of no dvd.
