Ps3 fanboys are having a feild day right now.Supposibly no pop in in the ps3 version of this title.The reason being the ps3 uses a hdd install and the 360 doesnt.

hmm

wasted gb's to avoid popins vs all my hdd space ill take the hdd space and dlc anyday.

I'm afraid I might not be able to take that city... I mean accept it. San Andreas was amazing, and I loved the whole country side to the game. I hope they include something like that in future games.

So, what's the probability on XBL crashing on monday night? I'm putting 75-80% for multi-player failure.

Not that i was planning to do multi-player until a couple hours into the solo game.

I don't think XBL will crash and my reasoning is because I think overall people are more interested in the single-player aspect of GTAIV... at least for starters. I know I am and from what I can tell, most others are as well. They aren't jumping right in to the multiplayer.

We will have to see and who knows, but my bet is on XBL not crashing just because most will be breaking out the single player.

hey guys! jus wanted to lay some interesting facts out for you...

PS3 version has a mandatory install (less than 10mins), but the load times are almost non existent.

360 frequently has 30 second load times.

As for pop-in, it's supposed to be significantly less on PS3, same with framerate dips, less on PS3.

IGN: "For those wanting to know which version looks better, the edge goes to the PS3. The textures and framerate are comparable, but the PS3 has far less pop-in. The 360 has richer colors, but the PS3 has better anti-aliasing making it look a little cleaner. Because GTA IV can preload onto the PS3 hard drive, the in-game loads are faster. Don't worry Xbox owners, the load times are rarely more than 30 seconds and don't occur very often. The slight visual edge goes to PS3, but the 360 is no slouch."

"Is no Slouch".. is just not as good as the PS3 version.

DLC? Do you really think THE game of the year GTA IV needs any more content??? Its the best thing to come in 10 years (source IGN). Its groundbreaking advancements in gaming. I really doubt it was woth 55,000,000 (might be a LOT more, not sure) that m$ dished out to pay to try to get more people to favor the 360 version, but in the end, what do you think people will want more? An awesome looking game with less hick-ups and no load times or the watered down version with half-@$$3d, paid for "unknown episodic content" which makes you wish you had a PS3 to play it on?

jus leavin my two cents is all.

you my friend Adam, are the idiot here.

so your sources are "your friend"?

See lil homie, I got these reviews straight up, right here to shut you up quick and easy. As for DLC... If sum1 payed you 55,000,000 to say your completely gay and love the weiner, I doubt you would say otherwise.

IGN (100/100) - " For those wanting to know which version looks better, the edge goes to the PS3 ... Grand Theft Auto IV is one of the best games we've ever seen ... The only thing you need to know is that you have to play this game. Period."

1UP (100/100) - "The PS3 version has the slightest visual edge, plus motion-control support ... Liberty City is no longer just a place you explore outdoors, looking for stunt jumps or the thrill of a six-star wanted level after riling up the LCPD during missions. I spent hours of my week-long review session checking out the game's indoor attractions."

GameTrailers (98/100) - "Rockstar always has a knack for choosing just the right songs to set the tone of its games, and once again it's hit a homerun with Grand Theft Auto IV."

oh and btw... What exactly was your HDD made for? Do you really have it filled up with so much useless crap that you cant afford to download a **7 min 30 seconds** worth of space in order to make your game load times none existant? IDK bout you, but I think most people would be more than willing to spend that 7:30 seconds to download it ONCE in order to not waste their time waiting every day for it to load.

you said "wasted gb's to avoid popins vs all my hdd space ill take the hdd space and dlc anyday."

It's most def not wasted, you are hella dumb dog. Seriously, just accept the fact that PS3's cathing up quick and your console's gonna face the same "slow and painful death" that the HD-DVD add on faced. TAKE IT LIKE A MAN

smkalot you dont need to come in here and start spinning shit whether its tru or not. you cant say u came in here for any reason but to wind people up.
its sad really, most people have managed to keep the flame wars down about gta4 since all in all you get the same experience with either console.

Im a ps3 fanboy and wont be convinced otherwise but it doesnt mean ive gotta make an idiot of myself by comming in here and tryna wind people up!

People can read the reviews themselves and draw whatever conclusions they want.

Meanwhile, which ever system you have you still have a great game to play

Any admin watching here??

Smkalot felt the need to redeem himself by emailing me on psn....

"seriously you need to stfu dude... first of all,wut are youdoing on 360fanboy sticking up for xbots?this is one of the few times ps3 gets the advantage it well deserves and if your the ps3fanboy you claim to be then you'd understand this is a historic benchmark that is most def worth bragging about...how often do xbots rub shit in for us? thier bs bragging has no end... support what you claim to love, or shut your f*cken filthy mouth bout wut you dont comprehend and quit being a stupid ignorant bitch"

Just thought id post that as proof as to how much of a tool he is, hopefully he'll get banned which im fairly sure he already has been on ps3fanboy
