Re: Whatever happened to LA Noire? -here's some info
Any of these reviews comment on differences between PS3 and 360 versions? Sorry, I'm too busy this morning to check any other than IGN review.

Well according to giant bomb's review it DOES look like ps3 gets the exclusive case as outlined in the spoiler above.

Sounds like the PS3 has the superior version this time. Went ahead and pre-ordered from Amazon to use up some credits.

That IGN review is almost perfect. The first paragraph sums it up nicely. 12-20 hours even sounds right. Anyone on the fence, read that review

I'm just bummed my BB won't be doing midnight. I suppose that means they won't be getting any of the midnight DLC for me to ask for when I pick it up tomorrow.
If only someone here worked at BB and could hook a brother up!

Gamesradar gave the "clear" edge to the PS3, but only based on not having to swap dics, plus the extra case. They also have a side-by-side video (sorry, I stink at embedding) and said "there aren’t a lot of noticeable differences between the two versions":

Clearly, my offhand joke meant that I expect L.A. Noire to be a playable version of Mad Men. If this is not the case, I will blame you personally for putting the idea in my head to begin with.

Re: Whatever happened to LA Noire? -here's some info
So, the reviews I've read weren't clear on this, can anyone clarify? If I want to just pull out my pistol and go on a shooting spree like GTAIV, is that possible in LA Noire? It seems like the answer is no, but I'd like to know for sure...
Game looks good, but the amount of freedom I truly have in the world will determine if I buy this over the weekend or wait for clearance. The police stuff looks cool, but the story doesn't sound as captivating as something like Red Dead, so if I'm really stuck in the role of cop that will hinder replayability for me.
