lol, nice to see some people are getting as excited as I am. When you get your system set up fire me a pm and I'll add you to my friends list. We're starting to get a nice group of CP'ers on ps3 finally!

Consider this a formal challenge from me to you for a molotov cocktail fight in central park.

I am counting down the hours until I get to bounce your head off the hood of my car.

Since I'm a pc gamer, I don't get the option on GTA IV, so I started playing San Andreas again. I've forgotten how much fun that game can be.

There's nothing like sticking a satchel charge on some innocent person and then pressing the detonator.

Or causing a 50 car pileup.

Or sneaking into the military base and stealing a tank and doing the vigilante missions.

What an amazing game.

PC gamers everywhere are morning no GTA IV for the PC

Excellent. Thanks for the link. I think I'm going with the PS3 version. I don't own many must have games for that console yet so this might as well be the one. I could care less about achievements and being able to load the entire game on to the hard drive on the PS3 but not 360 is the deciding factor for me.

Keep in mind it's a piece of the game to minimize load times. The whole game won't be loaded on your hard drive.

I called the future shop by my place and they said they are getting 40 special edition copies and 400 regular edition copies for each system in. So I started today not even remembering this game was coming out to probably standing in line at midnight waiting for a special edition copy of it for PS3, while not even owning a PS3 yet.

HA!

Just a heads up. I saw an ad at Walmart just off 64th Ave that they will have copies of the game at 12:01am. If I have no luck there tonight, I'll just go to Superstore first thing in the morning.

Just a heads up for Rhettzky (in case you haven't investigated), future shop has a ps3 with Gran Turismo Prologue for $399.

Looks fantastic. I'm just a tiny bit sad that there aren't planes anymore. I use to like stealing the 747 and taking it to the max attitude. Then precision sky dive into a small body of water without a parachute since you don't die if you land in deep water

Without question, Grand Theft Auto IV is the best game since Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
Whoa... for IGN to say this, it MUST be good.

Thanks man!! I am buying that but the promotion wasn't listed anywhere in the store.

Have now guaranteed my copy of GTA4 special edition for the PS3 and a regular version for the XBOX360 for Flames gimp. Pick-up in under 5 hours!!
