    What test system did they use? I tried looking for the test setup, but my work compute sucks so bad, GS was difficult to view.

    If they were using a PC with a ATI 3750 and only had the game set to normal graphics quallity and no AA...that would loog "good" but not great.

    Now if they have dual 5870's in Xfire, quallity set to high, and 8x AA...that would look stunning...

    Having played it on the PC and the 360, I can confirm the PC is far better.

    Also, with all the graphics set at max it's a beautiful game.

    Dragon Age Origins looks slightly and I mean slightly better on PC than the PS3. The PS3 looks slightly better than on the XBox. If I am not mistaken, I believe DAO has a preference for Nvidia cards and that is why it looks better on the PS3 than the XBox 360.

    True, when I installed the game, it also installed "NVIDIA PhysX Properties"

    I can confirm that. Anti Aliasing makes a difference. I turned it on and I wish I had used it from the start.

    I don't know if anyone has mentioned that yet but I've read the PC version was more difficult, now that is definitely a good thing as replaying through the game you may want to turn up the difficulty to spice things up.

    LOL... Trying to play a tatical game with the view on the PS3 or XBox is extremely difficult.


    As for the PC; they do have a new patch to the game to correct some of the difficulty settings and a few other bugs the game has.

    Over all this is one game that is actually released without too many bugs. That is rarely seen in this day and age.

    For those of you who want to buy the game and have a XBox or PS3 don't buy the console version. Bioware has made it pretty clear through their lack of effort to patch the bugs on the consoles that they have patched on the PC. Those of us who already bought the game on the console have either trade our games in or accepted the fact that Bioware is not supporting the console version like the PC.
