    Ok guys, that's enough telling us that the demo is up and that you're downloading. Stick to the impressions.

        Assuming that you haven't made 3 accounts on your 360, if you make a LIVE account it'll give you a free 1 month gold trial, but only for the first 3 accounts you make on your 360.

            Played a few quarters, and the first thing I want to say is I see no jaggies at all. Some of the character models are spot on, and some look odd. There seems to be great crowd interaction, but I didn't feel alot of atmosphere. I think the crowd noise wasn't nearly loud enough. The gameplay was smooth, and it was pretty easy to catch on to taking shots, and I had a few steals using the stick. Based on the demo I would give it a 8/10.

              Playing them both, the nod is a slight, very slight edge to the 360 version, the brightness of the game just makes it look a little more life like.

              If you put both of them in front of me without saying which was which though, no way I could tell. This was only after going back and forth.

                imo, the 360 one looks quite a bit better. It just seem more vibrant and smooth. I think the game runs a little bit smoother as well. I could tell as soon as it fired up. Imo its a very noticeable difference.

                    initial impressions:

                    -had to turn up my monitors color settings. it was looking extra bland and ashed out
                    -i saw ZERO jaggies on my screen. not sure what the ps3 guys are talking about. am i just tired at 3:45am?

                    more to follow

                    i guess its all about hte learning curve. i cant do isomotion. and I cant just shoot jumpers at will. ray allen has to set his feet everytime. terrible

                        Thanks. Now I have to determine the system I want to get it on. I think I can live with the jaggies. I have a two year old 360 and have not had any issues. I can see myself and friends playing 2K9 a lot and don't want to deal with the RROD.

                          Some jaggies in the crowd, not much else though, when it's paused I see a bunch, but in motion, none.

                            I've got a question

                            i have the ps3 version

                            the player models in 2k9 look really good way better then in 2k8 but this seems to be the only case in cut scenes..

                            when actually playing the game from the broadcast angle the players look really low res and they look a lot worse than 2k8 with really bland textures..

                            Is it just me?

                              Thanks. Playing the Ps3 version I only noticed them during the menu screen. It was really disturbing though. I didn't see any any motion I'll have to try pausing the game to see how it looks.

                                Yes! if I am close to a shooter they have the "Hands in Face" animation for my defender. Wondering if it actually decreases the probability of the shot going on though
                                Concrete evidence/videos please
