Something nobody has mentioned yet is the menus. They looked sharp, clean, fast (FINALLY!!) and didn't slow down the game both when starting up a new game and during mid-game pauses. Very nice upgrade here, especially for PS3 owners. Menus in the past have been so slow and so buggy that it made simple navigation a painful labor. I like the fact that they toned down the busyness of the background and kept things simple in order to improve menu performance. That's a small change that will have a big impact IMO.
