After an unnecessarily long wait, Capcom's Resident Evil 5 demo hit the Xbox Live service in late January. A PlayStation 3 demo follows it with a release on the PlayStation Network this week. Other than differences in controller mapping, many gamers are saying that these demos are exact mirror images of each other. Our keen eyes saw differently.

In the above video, you'll see that we've created a side-by-side comparison of the two demos. While the differences are slight and sometimes hard to notice, we feel that they're worth mention, and that they should definitely be brought to light. 

We're hoping to hear back from Capcom on these differences soon.

Since I am at work and have no flash player and I can not instal it (damn Wyse terminals) I can't tell if this is a joke or serious business.

Does Dale do serious business, I don't know and I guess I have to wait until I'm off work to find out!

Nice one Dale, although I still think the Genesis version looks the best.

I'm digging the art style they went with for the PS3 version so I may have to get that one now, though I was leaning towards 360 before so I could play online with my bro. Thanks for making my decision that much harder...

From that clip I now deem the ps3 version to be superior, anyone who thinks otherwise is clearly an Xbot.

LOL @ the ending, I did the exact same with the Japanese demo.

This comparison is such bullshit. You obviously have the brightness and contrast up waaaaay too high in the Xbox 360 clips. Not a fair comparison AT ALL, Dale North. Fanboys.

Wow, someone was either bored, or just hates the PS3.

I had to laugh, though. :P

Also, the end of that video was excellent. I'll be doing that throughout the entire game.

No Nick ... the problem is the PS3 version is using a component cable, while the XBOX360 version is using an HDMI cable. That's what is really causing this unfair comparison to be so biased toward the PS3. Such bullshit!

Hopefully the PS3 fans can take a joke on this one, so that another comment section won't be overrun with pointless bickering.

Really? People think PS3 fans would be offended by this? It looks more like a bash against the xbox fools that whine about low rez bullshit. It's going to be awesome on both consoles.

Yeah, but at least we'll get to finish the PS3 version without the console dying

Awesome, loved the audio at the end, made me chuckle. Now if Sheva would stop running ahead and taking gold and ammo before I got to it we'd be all good.

Why can't they make the game be the same for both consoles? Looks like I need to invest in a PS3 now.

I like how people still manage to poke red ring jokes in a joking thread. Winning the console wars one RROD joke at a time.

You can't even tell the difference, both consoles are running this game just fine. This is obviously Fanboyism at its best.

the best version is going to be on the wii. it clearly sells the most consoles and is the most flexible.
