On a related note, you’re able to insure your cars in case other players steal them. You wouldn’t want to lose that heavily modified, custom Cheetah you spent thousands of in-game dollars and lots of time tricking out, would you?

Stealing people’s rides and their money too with implications for them sounds cool.

If something bad happens and you’re killed, your wallet will just be lying there, on your corpse, ripe for anyone to come along and pluck it out of the pool of your blood. You’ll need to stop at one of the many ATMs scattered around the city in order to deposit – and thus secure – your earnings. Fortunately, places like Ammu-Nation and real-estate brokers accept debit cards, so you won’t need to extract massive stacks of cash from the ATM in order to make big purchases.

Not long now- who from the STW massive will be playing on the Xbox?

PS3 for me I gave my 360 away.

This might be the game that finally gets me playing online, what’s the cheapest place to pre-order at the moment? I have a £10 Tesco voucher, I guess nothing will be cheaper than using that?

I hope they don’t **** up the pc version.

I can see GTA V becoming my new antidote to work.

Wasn’t going to get this but some features sound great, love the money aspects.

Any codes or cheap places to purchase PS3?

Perfect timing for a long hard winter 😀

Me, for starters.

BTW (cos I can’t readily google it at work) – can you be a part of more than one crew?

I shall be picking up a copy…thankfully, on the XBox.

Not sure I think so.

Most of the pre-order deals are gone now.

Seemingly not.

Bumflakes.

Drac…request sent.
Cant wait for this. Many late nights are afoot.

Response sent ta.

Possible dumb question as I haven’t played anything online in ages. I assume that the online version is console dependent ie. if you’re playing online on an Xbox then you’re only playing online with other XBox users, not anybody playing from any console?

Correct- I don’t believe there are many cross platform games out there…

Request sent. Look out for TimmyJay.

Replied.

Anyone for a bike race come October? The trailers so far have shown BMXes and road bikes, but I bet there’ll be mountain bikes in there too.

Think I spotted a mountain bike in the gameplay trailer earlier this year

2:16 in.

For the xbox live types feel free to add “tootallpaul67” to your friend lists…

Good spot on the bikes in that vid. I loved the bikes in San Andreas and was disappointed by their absence in the last instalment. I’d hoped for courier challenges and races through crowded Liberty City streets.

A multiplayer race down that mountain in San Andreas would have been good. 😀

…trying to pick up my jaw and tongue off the floor. Cannot wait…but really hope theres more stunts to attempt compared to the last one and some humour like the scotland fans in argie tops.

Role on the 17th!!

They’ve only gone and called the road bike the Whippet!

Just wondering if anyone’s excited about the bike racing there’ll be in there? Any way I might wait a couple of months before buying for my console, to let the price die down. Last thing is that by looks of it the multilayer will be very good so I wouldn’t worry about missing all the action if you don’t buy early.

I like this game already 🙂

Competitive Cycling
On the west coast, you’re not only judged by your car, but also by your expensive exercise gear. A bicycle that costs $10,000? Why not? Delude yourself in tight shorts and tap shoes while yelling at pedestrians for getting in your way.

if only it had Strava…..

Bikes in a game that looks as awesome as this, that’s what get’s you excited?

This is the first game I can remember pre-ordering, I’ve just realised the release date is a Tuesday, I can see myself being pretty tired at work for the remainder of the week.

If only it had strava

😆

Just wondering does anyone know how cycling will be implemented?

Nice find Jamie I have GTA IV for PS3 and 360 that would qualify me.

Good luck with that it’s one of the most anticipated games in a very long time, GTA IV took ages for the price top drop even near the pre-order offers.

You might want to double check that T&C (5) doesn’t refer to multiple platforms:

(5.) must not be multiples of the same game.

Ah not to worry as I pre-ordered anyway.

Anyone used Gamestop for pre order?

Used them in the past and they’ve been spot on.

BAH! i won’t be able to buy the game for some time (due to being skint).i won’t be envious of you all in the slightest,oh no,not me sir.NOT AT ALL! 😆 😡 😮 😛 😳 PARP! 😳
