The 360-easy version of HSB has 150 fewer base points as compared to the PS2 version (confirmed by proven cutoffs). These points come from three missing notes, one each in measures 72 (R), 74 (R) and 77 (G).

This means the high score on the PS2 is unattainable. Two of the three missing notes come under SP in the optimal path.

(2 x 8 x 50) + (1 x 4 x 50) = 1000 fewer points should be possible.
