is this the same as the physx vid they released a couple of weeks ago?

The material tearing effects looks great :) Already buying this on the 360 though. Does the 360 version have the Physx effects?

nope. 360 and ps3 versions lack the physx effects

demonstrates the extra eye-candy that players can achieve by running the game on a PhysX capable system.

Looks like yet another misleading PhysX tech demo.

They either speed up the CPU-version physics to make it disappear quickly and slow-mo the hardware accelerated one (look at the glass breaking halfway through), or they completely leave out a CPU implementation even in situations where it should be able to handle a specific physics algorithm just fine.

Much of the difference/gap you see between many PhysX On and Off comparisons is fairly arbitrary to try to artificially boost the apparent benefits of the SDK/hardware.
