When you port a game from one console to another they covert the code into a suitable form by using an automated code converter which can’t result in better quality, kinda like burning a dvd to HDdvd the quality will not be better than dvd even though its on HD-DVD.

VF5 will look the close to same on PS3 as it will on Xbox360 because it's not a port it will be created for the Xbox and for the PS3. A port would be if they created the game for PS3 and converted it to run on xbox, if they did that the Xbox360 version would look worse than the ps3 version.

I thought this was common knowledge and I was wrong.

No, that's not entirely true. A ported platform can look better if the target is able to do things that the original couldn't- an example there might be anti-aliasing.

Thats crazy, and kinda funny considering people are paying double online, when they can go to the store and actually buy one for normal price. Just out of curiousity, where do you work?

Like they did with GTA from PS2 to Xbox. Unless they have found a way to use an anti-aliasing filter without code modification.

If it's still the same game, it's a port. Some reprogramming will be absolutely required to make a game work on a system different than the one it was originally made to be played on. That's just common sense.
