It still plays the same, I notice zero slowdown in loading or battle transitions, but the graphics obviously suffered greatly. I mean, the cut scenes are still amazing, but the gameplay graphics got nothing on blu-ray.

Everyone keeps trying to convince me to buy a PS3 using MAG/FF13/Heavy Rain as an excuse. When I tell them that A) I own no blu-ray movies B) all of my friends are on XBox Live C) I'm not buying a system for the sake of one game D) I'm not buying an HD TV so I can in turn buy a system for one game and E) two of my friends have PS3s which they will readily let me borrow, they look at me like I'm from another planet.

Buy an HDTV and a high-def cable for your 360?

My 360 is an older version with no HD output. Only component. I even tried a friend's component cables and they weren't compatible. I'm going to try Gamestop tomorrow for some third party cables.
