It just has better textures + AA. Definetly not worth getting Vista for.

Why do the 360 pictures look like total ass? I expected better graphics on the PC, but those 360 pics just look horrible, almost doctored.

I'm guessing these are captured screen shots, if your at a distance you won't notice the lack in quality, does make sense if you think about it.

XBox, not XBox360.

The blurry 480p images are resized upwards to match the sizes of the PC screenshots, which were resized downwards.

The things to note are:
-The vista version seems to have textures four times as large(in each direction).
-The vista version has anti-aliasing.

And since most people don't have perfect vision, noticing the jaggies and horrible textures on a TV from faraway is quite difficult. PC monitors, on the other hand, are placed right in front of our faces, which means that we can spot every little blemish.

Well TV sets are kinda blurry anyways so you dont really notice jaggies that much. But PC monitors are really sharp so it sticks out really bad.

My bad didnt realize it was normal xbox.

In that regard then, I dont think there can be a fair comparison. Screen resolution on a PC is far greater than stinky 480p.

I don't have it for XBox, so I'll buy it for Vista. It's gonna be a good game regardless. Well it already is a good game, just has to prove itself on the PC.

Bet to differ. Granted PCs may be better in most aspects, but for consoles, once you buy the console and the game your good to go, no more buying of other things to keep up so you can play the next good game. Take Halo here for example, you have to upgrade to Vista for it. If they ever remade it (This is just for an example) then youd just buy the game and volia. You can play it, you don't have to spend two hours installing something onto your X-box to do it....Unlike the pc, whereas you need to install somethng to allow you to play it. (unless of course you already have Vista)
