Screen tearing in PS3 version?

[Rufus_the_Rat]

Hi, I own the Xbox version of BoP but am thinking of also maybe getting the PS3 version once I get that system in order to get the "better" version with the patch. However, I remember reading before that the PS3 version suffered from screen tearing which I really hate in games, but also that the patch was supposedly going to fix it. My question is: did it? Is the screen tearing gone or reduced since the update? Also, if anyone else has both the 360 and PS3 versions, are there any other comments you can share concerning the graphical advantages of each? I'm only interested in honest neutral observations, console fanboys need not comment. Thanks.

The screen tearing is still there but sometimes there is none. So the title update didn't fix it entirely.

Anton said that the patch fixes the screen tearing as long as it's not at the expense of frame rate. So it is better, but still occurs - especially in cockpit view.

If anyone's interested, screen tearing occurs when the software doesn't sync it's render with the display update (i.e. TV/VDU). So if it does sync to avoid tearing, but the update of game data and geometry exceeds the screen refresh rate, you have two choices: render as soon as possible with tearing or wait for the next vblank. BoP opts for the first option, while the second option will give a noticeable drop in framerate. Especially if there is a persistent load on the update over several frames.
