The 360 version is 1024x576 2xAA.
It would seem that the The PS3 version is 1280x720 2xAA.

The PS3 version seems more like 720P + QAA

Nice timing. I'm looking at Tomb Raider now. There is a clear resolution and IQ advantage to the PS3 code, which is very clean.

I presume the colour compression/banding on this PS3 short is something with the picture, and not in game?

I'd have to check. That's a JPEG saved at quality level 12 in Photoshop, so it's going to be very very close to the original BMP.
Never mind, it's something funky at my end. Just checked again and this time the XB360 version had the posterized clouds! Reloaded both pics and neither had posterization. It's as if IE's image rendering decided randomly to limit the pic to 256 colours or something

The extra resolution appears to be come at the expense of refresh rate.
It would certainly be a surprise if the PS3 version could push >1.5x the pixels of the 360 version for "free". It will be interesting to see how big the difference in framerate is between the two.
Have we heard anything from the studio to suggest why there's such a difference (e.g. talk of lead platforms or development issues)?

I'd guess it's because of the 10MB of eDram, if you don't tile then you won't be fitting 720p 2x in it and it seems they chose 576p 2x AA over 720p 0xAA.
Thanks! Btw is it me or is the xbox version lacking shadows in the second and last set?

If the previous poster is on the money, perhaps I paused the game!
EDIT: I didn't. In those sections there does appear to be shadowing in the PS3 version of the game absent in the 360. Either that or the light sources are at different places as the 360 game definitely has shadows.
