Looks good considering it is on PS3/XBOX 360 architecture. I wonder if an enhanced version will be released with the new consoles?

No talk of it on new generation and even if they did it would be based on the PS3 architecture as that's what it's been built on. So unless they start from scratch it won't be massively different.

I usually wait to play these games but if I do I'll miss most of the multiplayer action I think.

Pre ordered it, luckily got a couple of weeks single player before the multiplayer is released, now to set up a crew!

Hopefully they'll release it on the PC before too long. Any hopefully it'll be a better port than the terrible effort they made with GTA IV...

I have just requested an invite, Drac.

I really have no idea what I'm doing 😀

Just buy a second hand xbox/ps3 to play it? I am planning on doing that with a PS3, just so I can play The Last Of Us.

Multiplayer isn't out until October Molgrips so you should be Ok.

I'll add you as some muscle Jamie the more in the crew the better it seems to be.

If anyone wants a PS3 that doesn't play discs, let me know. Games can be downloaded.

Very excited by this, but will be waiting for the PC version... 🙁

I have a YLOD fat PS3 that someone can have - have already replaced it with a slim and don't seem to be much likelihood of getting it traded in. Can hand over in London.

I'll take it, I'll probably be in London at some point not too far away.

Drac I asked for an invite to your crew. I know it's rude to ask, but.. there was a button.. 🙂

I seen it and it should have added you to the Muscle too.

I'll need to check with the others guys who I've played online with years but as muscle really all you can do is add to crew stats so should be fine.

Ta 🙂 I'm unlikely to play much anyway so if there's an option to just dabble that works for me.

molgrips, done. I'm north but work central, let me know by email when you can collect and you can have it. i think it may need a hard drive too, but you can get one suitable off ebay for about a tenner.

Ok ta. I dunno if I can bodge together somethign working from the ton of parts I seem to have, but I've read a lot about YLOD and potential fixes.

Just out of interest, can you plug a BD player in to the usb port and load games like that?

YLOD is caused by overheating fiddly job to fix but supposed to be easy enough a mate did his in afternoon.

Blue-Ray are replaceable just need the right model you can get them off ebay.

I wish there was somewhere that lent out PS3s for a week. I only need one for that amount of time to play The Last Of Us.

Seems a bit overkill to buy one, just to have to piss about selling it after.

Jamie- [url= http://www.boomerangrentals.co.uk/rent-games_PS3.php ][/url] not sure if they have last of us. Worth trying though.

You miss my point, I want to rent an actual console, not the game. I can buy the game from Amazon then sell it on eBay for a fiver less, so that's the easy bit.

Not played computer games for years, but I quite fancy getting hold of a cheap 2nd hand PS3 and GTA V, if just for the walk-around-and-explore aspect of it. I always like that about the original overhead-view GTA games; that you could either play properly and try to progress through the game, or just pick it up and mess about for a while.

As I'm skint/tight I might even look for a PS2 and get GTA 3 or SA.

I fixed mine, worked for a couple of hours, then YLOD'd again. Repeated 3 times, gave up, threw away and bought a slim line one. Nothing like the quality of the old one. No PS2 compatibility either 🙁

I'm very excited by GTA V I must admit, in a way I've not been for a game for a long time.

I did read the guides to repairing the YLOD, but there's no way I'll get round to doing it - no free time these days. It's just gathering dust at the mo...

Cheers, but blue ray would be a reason for getting one.

Listen, I lost an actual girlfriend because of videogames.

A real one.

Some junkie stole my XBox and I am happy with this.

Edit * Dear current girlfriend, Can I please buy a new XBox?*

And if other folks in your crew are out causing trouble, you can turn on Weasel News on your apartment TV and actually follow their shenanigans live, as covered by the San Andreas news channel.

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.

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?
