The 360-medium version of HSB has 850 fewer base points as compared to the PS2 version (confirmed by proven cutoffs). These points come from seventeen missing notes, one each in measures 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 40, 44, 48, 52, 88, 92, 96, 100 (all G) and two each in measures 72 and 74 (one R and one G in each).

This means the high score on the PS2 is unattainable. Five of the seventeen missing notes come under SP in the PS2 optimal path (the 360 optimal path may be different).

(5 x 8 x 50) + (12 x 4 x 50) = 4400 fewer points should be possible.
