I haven't played on the xbox360 very often (I don't own one) but my 
impression is games on the PS3 use motion-blur and depth-of-field 
approximation effects more.  Maybe the devs are just trying to find ways 
to use up the spare CPU cores, but often it makes the game look quite 
bad in still shots, when you can see that they are just faking the effects.

Mind you, apart from the shadows (why use low resolution shadow map 
textures in such a polished game??), Gran Turismo 5 is beautiful.
