You know, it looks like this outsells the Xbox version, every store I have checked so far has the Xbox version in stock, while PS3 version is sold out I'll go for the cheapest one and get mine next week...

i'm pretty sure the 360 outsold the ps3 version in the states but i think its going to be vice versa everywhere else or just be really close and not a landslide that all the xbots were thinking.
Yeah Dan, i'm going to get on later and try it then but that won't be until 11:00 p.m. my time, i'm going to thumb the guide and see if they have a mission where someone introduces you to TW@, if not i'll just find it and see if it helps with the multiplayer. I'm kind of weird with GTA games, i wait until they introduce new things to me instead of looking for them

i only played an hour and did the first couple of missions, i accidentally set up a date with Michelle and then Roman called me, he needed help with the loan sharks but i decided to do it later, so i took out michelle to see how the mechanics work, when i dropped her off i noticed Romans misson wasn't on my radar anymore, he called me and said i was disloyal for not helping him, i wish i turned the autosave feature off because i couldn't load it back up and help him out instead. So i started a new game . Dan did you know you can meet random people in the game and they can become random contacts in your phone. Its in the guide, if you have a blue icon show up on your map, find and approach them. Apparently the first one you can get in the phone is in the mission "It's your Call" where you take Roman to gamble and the loan sharks show up. I didn't notice a blue dot though. oh yeah i'm going to be playing a shit load tomorrow afternoon, hopefully online is up for me so we can get some games in ;D

i usually play my GTA non-stop for the first weekend...but since the PS3 is in the game room....i have to wait for the kiddos go to sleep before i start playin.. ....so u all will probably get a big head start on me!!!.....lol....the other thing i noticed i dont think i will like is when your in a car and driving fast.....and u hit something you get ejected from the car and get hurt pretty bad....like in the past games when on a motorcycle.....the car should offer a lil more protection than than that...makes u not wanna go to fast...and i looooooove goin fast...and the stunts!!!!.....so i guess no stunts in this one??

Phantom, trust me... I had the same reservations when I started playing, I couldnt drive for shit, because I was driving like the OLD GTA's, once you forget them you will be able to put your foot down and blast through the rows of cars with EASE!!! Its a great game, dont let yourself be niggled by the small things...

Yeah it was kind of hard to get used to but i'm actually loving the "new" driving, the cars feel like they have weight to them and it just seems more realistic, the on foot stuff is pretty fun too, i love the fact that if you jump on top of a car thats stopped at a stop light the guy driving it starts flipping out, blares on the horn, and moves the car so as if to try to get you off of it.
Weird thing though, i kept on walking/sprinting into a cop; he fell on a bench and his body reacted accordingly, which looked really cool because he looked like a drunk guy sitting on a bench, but the stupid thing is that cops in this game get pissed if you walk/sprint into them for a short amount of time. After the cop fell on the bench, i had a wanted level, he didn't die or get hurt, he just seemed dazed, i guess the cops are less forgiving in this one. I don't care though since this game is awesome

You can dial 911 on your phone to get some help. Just found out by screwing around with the phone. Hmmm, maybe i should call a sex line

God damn, what a master piece. Controls need some getting used to, as well as the driving, but once you have that nailed (just like dan says, clear your mind from GTA3...and Warhawk...and you'll be racing) it's awesome.
