Multiplayer is alot of fun however, GTA IV multiplayer has been down for me the whole day. Server's must be busted from all the people overloading it I guess. But from my 1am-4am multiplayer action that I got to have, it's alot of fun. Pretty cool shit to be trying to take out the army on 6 star wanted level with your friends. Or just playing cops n robbers.

I'm strongly considering buying a 360 just for this game....I used to be a playstation guy and was trying to hold out 'til the PS3 got updated....but most of you have the 360, right?

I got PS3, holmes. I own a 360, but have not touched it since picking up the PS3.
'Executioner1' is my handle...if that don't work try just plain 'Executioner'.
I don't own this one yet, but should have it by Sun...
PS - You don't need to wait for PS3 to be updated. It's legit and will only continue to get better, and a lot of the system updates are downloadable. In case you didn't know, Blu-Ray won the format war, so look for MSFT to have to update their system accordingly. Also, PS3 currently is the best Blu Ray player out there, so you get two components for the price of one.
Get involved, CEO.

yeah it works wired. PS3 is by far the better buy and better system. Shit, HDDVD is done, so XBOX360 is gonna be screwed anyway. Microsoft is going to have to pay Sony licensing fees if they ever want to put next-gen games on there. or just make games that have like 7 discs circa 1996.
Multiplay is free, and the games are going to be way better, shit just look at the price of a stand alone blu-ray player.

CyruS_Th4_V1Ru5 is my psn name. So meth, rusty, whoever add me up.
And C, quit fuckin around and get that PS3

I got both 360 and ps3 and my 360 has been catching dust since I've gotten the triple.
And besides, why run the risk of getting a new 360 and getting GTA IV with it only to have it get the red lights of death? You will be wondering what exactly happened when you call microsoft and they send you the "coffin" in the mail. You won't see your 360 again for a month.

GTAIV is just crazy fun right now. I was in a group of 10 people earlier, we went to the strip club, only to find out when we get there, there are no strippers when in multiplayer only single player.
Long story short, we shot up the club. Then each other.

I have always been a playstation guy. Had the PS1 and PS2, but decided against the PS3 and went for the 360. They are killing playstation in the games department and the programmers actually get more out of there game. Sure the PS3 is supposedly the more powerful machine, not that it matters. Look who won these wars (NES vs Sega Master System and PS2 vs XBOX). The less powerful machine (NES and PS2 both won).
But back to the point, it doesn't always matter which machine is more powerful. The reason 360 games seems to play better than PS3 is the developers actually know how to write codes for there games. People know how to program for XBox (as it's Microsoft), people don't know how to program for the Playstation as it isn't a standard like a Microsoft product.
By the time PS3 really figure out there product and start using the blu-ray discs and there powerful machine to the fullest. The new XBox will probably be on the way again.
Also it doesn't really bother me about Blu-Ray winning the war. It won the war, but it doesn't mean it's going to be successful just yet. DVD is still relatively new, I'm not sure everyone is going to be throwing a DVD player that is a few years old at most for a product that costs close to $1000. PS3 have one of the best Blu-Ray players out there, and also one of the first. They will only get better and besides. If I want a player, I would probably buy a player specifically for that. How many of yous use a PS2 or something as your DVD player?
I will say that the 360 machine is pretty temperamental though. But the warranty for any of the red ring problems is a 3 year warranty.
I pretty much picked the console on better titles and better gaming experience. For me it was the 360.

The ps3 playback is actually better than most standalone players, and the 360s have a huge history of crapping out mines gave me the red ring problem after about a year. Not all games look better on the 360 either gta4 for example according to ign and a few other game review sites the 360 version is inferior to the ps3 one. At the end of the day they are both good systems and they have their strengths/weaknesses but the pc>>both

I was more talking about the feel of the game. Yeah I heard that GTA actually looks a little better on the PS3. But GTA was originally made for the 360 so they will be getting more extra downloadable content for now.

Best deal going on a ps3 is if you buy it at the sony store with a sony credit card you get $100 credit back on the card so you can end up getting a 40gb for 299.99.

I will try to play some tonight after 10pm. I have a conference call from 8-9pm and at 9 is my show supernatural lol.

I didn't like the main character at first either but now that I am about 50% done i think he's the best main character I've played as in a game. He's not one dimensional like almost every other video game protagonist

black, not sure if you know but last year, XBox extended there warranty for any of the ring of death problems. The warranty was extended to 3 years for free. So if it is a ring of death problem, you should be covered. Anything else with the 360 only has the free 1 year warranty.

No unlockable characters, but career mode is decent. You can pick from lots of styles, but you have to unlock them first. To do that, you need to defeat fighters in classic mode. Say you want Winky's turtle shell fighting style? If you beat him in classic mode you will unlock the style and can select it for you created guy right away.
Watch out for the weigh ins with your rival, they'll swing at you.
BTW, I have it for the 360.
