Here's a few posts from overclockers forum from people who own both 360 and PC TR running side by side:
Anyone contemplating a 360 v PC version purchase like I was then please take note:::
if you have anything better or equal to my 6800gt's in sli then go for the pc version, i have had both versions (demos) running side by side and the pc version absolutely spanks the 360 one, I wish I could get some screens up the pc version makes the 360 look like a PS2,, bit dissapointed really as I would have preffered the 360 version myself.. getting 60fps average on pc, the 360 looks terrible and struggles with the framerate.
I was running both side by side using a hd sammy and a 19'' tft, I can switch both systems to use both displays and can clearly see the pc version is absolutely miles better than the 360 one, Ill try to get some pics up later. The 360 version lacks so much detail of the pc one, I stood at an exact same spot on both systems and on the pc version has extra foliage everywhere which was much better detailed and crisp also all the rock detail was clearly visible every lump and bump (as well as lara's, lol). The 360 version in comparison seems like evrything is blurred or dumned down theres no definition to any edges..like I said, dissapointing as i was really hoping for a good show from the 360.

Sorry this is the best I can do at the mo, this is taken with a cheap camera and the quality is poor but you can still see the pc version,(lower) has much more definition and detail, eg, check out her belt guns, also face detail in pc version is much better you can clearly make out eyes lips, but 360 version her face is a bit of a blur,,hopefully someone can put up some proper shots.

I can see why some people would prefer the cleaner images that the non next gen version gives as i think the blur that you mention is a side effect of enabling that content. All im saying is that with the next gen content on the PC suffers from all the same bonuses and problems that the 360 version does.
[that explains the blurred look on 360, which i think benefits some features but ruins others, e.g. her face becomes mush - Rich]

And on it goes - basic jist of it all seems like this: Next Gen on you get the 360 shaded blurred look that looks better on PC due to being able to bump up res settings. Mind you to play at high res settings with next gen on you need a very high end pc. The Next Geb button on PC though needs the 1.1 patch on as 1.0 version causes too much of a system hog when it shouldnt do. So I may try that patch and crack out to see how it runs on mine. After saying that some people who have posted prefer next gen off as facial features and such are sharper, as this is whats causing the blurred look. Though skin texture looks a lot better with it on I think.
