I was just wondering the same thing. Here is what I would want to know before making my decision.
1) What was the lead platform? Most cross-platform games for console seem to be developed for the 360(more cross-platform game sales than PS3) and then ported over to PS3. You would think that this RPG would be developed on the PC, but apparently it was developed on console first and then ported to PC. I didn't find mention regarding 360 vs PS3 other than the 30 day lead time for 360 DLC over PS3.
2) How many discs does the game come on for each platform? For LA Noire the 360 version has 3 discs vs the PS3's single disc (Blu-Ray discs holds up to 25GB for PS3 vs under 9GB DVD's for the 360). Some research indicates that the game itself will come on 1 disc for all platforms. This doesn't count a Making of/Extras DVD.
3) How did Elder Scrolls 4 compare on the 2 systems? See Youtube for comparison videos. These aren't always conclusive, but you may get a general consensus by watching and then reading the user comments. One user stated that the game play was nearly identical except that on the PS3 version graphics were rendered sooner (i.e. scenery coming into view). Don't base too much on this since the development process was probably different for 5 which runs on a new game engine. We probably wont have decent comparison videos for Skyrim until after release date.
4) Is there a multiplayer component? This favors the 360 for most players who already subscribe to Xbox live. Apparently, there is no multiplayer component as per an interview with developer, Todd Howard.
5) Controls - since this is not an twitch based FPS, in which case most people prefer the 360 controller, PS3 should be just fine.
Bottom line: If you are like me, you have many more games for your 360 than your PS3. This is a good opportunity to build your PS3 library and save your red ring prone 360 all of the wear and tear that Skyrim is going to cause (100+ hours!).
The video games are precisely a similar, the adaptation is that the PS3 version seems to have greater bugs than the 360 and laptop opposite numbers. The 360 version has down-scaled determination whilst performed from the HDD (no longer likely a great problem, the interest merely seems worse). the laptop version has lag and freezing themes. The PS3 version has the main issues, which incorporates freezing, lag, and physique value themes, exceedingly whilst getting access to keep data that exceed a definite length (looks 6MB or greater desirable). in case you have ever performed any of the Fallout series, then a similar issues you have in Fallout are a similar issues you will desire to have in Skyrim (the two are video games from developer Bethesda). the topics on the PS3 never seem to get patched, so as a techniques because of the fact the video games at diverse consoles are worried, the PS3 version looks the only with the main issues, which will maximum in all probability never get patched (I basically say this because of the fact the Fallout video games weren't in any respect patched). in case you have performed Fallout, then you fairly be conscious of what the interest will do, it fairly is principally freeze usually and keep data would sometimes no longer artwork wisely, which potential you will desire to be certain you keep assorted data and frequently. in case you basically have a PS3, then get the interest, merely be conscious of there'll be themes (which explains the PS3 version gets decrease marks than the 360 or laptop version, it is not because of the fact the interest is diverse, basically the technical themes).
Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is the next installment in the award-winning Elder Scrolls series. Skyrim is the follow up to the 2006 Game of the Year, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and the next game from Bethesda Game Studios, creators of the 2008 Game of the Year, Fallout 3.

Well, i personally like the look of the games on the Xbox better, and the Xbox in general. Also if you have a "Good' gaming PC it will look better.
