A debate that is starting to heat up is around which console version of Battlefield 3 is superior on. Its a given that the PC version beats them all, but this is not as clear around the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions

The first thing LoT noticed is that the PS3 version has bloom effect, while the Xbox seems to lack it. Another difference is that the Xbox 360 version seems to have more jaggies in the textures, while the PS3 version seems to be more smoother.

Again in this comparison shot the PS3 version seems to have less jaggies overall compared to the Xbox 360 version. Another thing to note is that the PS3 version seems to be using sharper hi-res textures.

This one was rather disappointing as the Xbox 360’s gun is using blatantly lower res textures, while the PS3 version has higher-res textures on the gun. Also, noticed the jaggies on the Xbox 360 version in the background.
It appears that the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions are very close. However, there are some notable differences in the beta. The PS3 version seems to suffer from more screen tearing, but again seems to be isolated to the top of the screen. The PS3 version does seem to utilize more effects such as bloom as well as employ higher res-textures over the Xbox 360 version.
Since this is an early beta, its difficult to tell if some of these things will be ironed out by the final build of the game.
