The box is on my desk and the back says the install is 8.23gb. I don't know how big my PS3 memory is but it is very old so I'm a little worried. Would a plug-in USB hard drive work? Any reccommendations?
Anyone else kill the hostage within the first 3 minutes of the game?
Road bike off road, down a mountain is fun 😉

Just spotted my next mission in front of me....

Phew, a quick internet trawl shows that Xcom is 7.6gb. I've got that and a couple of other PSN games saved so fingers crossed I should be ok.
The Tesco deal with The Last of us and GTAV for 200 quid is proper tempting... Especially when PS+ seems to be such a good deal too
anonymouse,
Just change the hard drive, very easy! Mine has a 240GB drive now in an original fat PS3. My PS3 instructions had the details on how to do it.
My copy of GTA5 is sitting on my desk at home, I'm at work and getting on a flight in 2 hours for a business trip for the rest of the week!!
Roll on the weekend!

Apparently it was £180 from Play the other day. 🙁

3 minutes? 30 seconds more like.
/starts restarts mission.
I am at work and want to get home and play my new game. I have finished all I have to do for a while, so I look on facebook and see a picture showing that my housemates have opened my delivery and are enjoying it very much. This isn't annoying in the slightest...

Dammit! But then again, 200 Clubcard points balances that out. A bit.
Also, I'm trying to resist.

Any 2.5" hard drive should work, I bought a slim 12gb console and put the 60gb one from my old (dead) fat PS3 in, worked perfectly. Cheaper than buying a 250gb one too.
I can see Franklin's special ability helping out my piss poor driving...
Anyone care to comment from your initial impressions on how the game compares to previous versions?
the gameplay takes a bit of use. Do not try and take drugs and kill aliens - I have died 3 times already!
Hmmmm...not done many missions...found the mountain bikes, a parachute, some letters...but no weapons (apart from killing people to get them)...oh and a couple of stunt jumps...hopefully will get better.
I'm doing missions and messy around, took the drugs and killed the aliens first time.
I did however in the opening scene keep shooting my partner in the head until I spotted the crosshairs, the sun was on the TV. 😳
And guess who cant find his receipt from Tesco for the £5 pre-order mullarkeyism...doh. 👿
installing as I type...
still installing... oh - nope, now I'm calibrating.

& now the game has crashed!
Picked my copy up at lunch time from Tesco.
So after work tonight I am going the long way home on the bike. playing Lego with my daughter, Collecting the frame and completely rebuilding my cove stiffee for the bad weather and some overtime drawings for work.
I may not be able to play too much for a couple of weeks. We have just had a new plasma and need to avoid burn in.
WackoAK - MemberAnyone care to comment from your initial impressions on how the game compares to previous versions?
First impression..
Driving, especially the motorbikes, seems easier to control compared to the previous version (could just be me), such as, passing, avoiding trouble at speed.
Love how other car drivers give you the finger if you nudge them 😉
Driving into the sun and the flare it causes, is incredibly realistic.
That's it so far, if you liked the old version, your going to love this one 😉
Crash into random car on way to my house, so guys follow me home and get out car to discuss my driving, I pull out gun and they run for it. Free car!
I've not completed the first mission yet cos the game keeps crashing! Very frustrating!!
Xbox or PS3, John?
Drac walk away from the game....... you may be spending too much playing shooter games 😉I'm doing missions and messy around, took the drugs and killed the aliens first time.
ps3 - couldn't sign in to the ps3 network, I have had the DNS settings to allow me to watch American netflix, just changed them back to UK settings will try again...
Just waiting for someone on eBay to get back to me on a 120gig Xbox hard drive then I can pick it up and buy the game.

Maybe.
Best moment so far, riding a dirt bike a mountain to the cable car. It took me ages and as I got near the top I was riding a very narrow trails 2 hikers were in the way so I give them a friendly beep of the horn sadly I clipped one and he flew away down the cliff I could hear him screaming. His mate got his phone out and rang the police, thinking I was safe on top of a mountain I carried on to see a police heading towards me who lost control and flew off the cliff. His mate then come tearing down too towards me just as a coyote got spooked and darted out, a huge thud and I see the coyote stuck to the front of the car as it tries to knock me off my bike.
Changing the DNS back seems to have fixed it! Hooray!
Trust me to have afree day today and it doesn't turn up
Luckily I'm free on Thursday Friday Saturday and Sunday too 😆
so is the game any good then 🙂
looks like it won't be till xmas that i can buy a copy 🙁
enjoy 😀
Interesting that no-one's really posted any mission info yet- everyone seems to be sandboxing it.
Could be the world's first sim of how you want your life to be?
I am currently in a battle of wills with a surrealist bit of foreign cinema. I refuse to skip to the end!

No spoilers from me but I've just done my first heist and it was very profitable.
Id rather not give the game away...but have a feeling a diagram at the top of the cable car ride maybe on my to do list.
Watch out when driving high performance cars up mountains....
...if you're a mountain lion that is.

That car will go up anything.
Spent my first "earnings" on a beard.
I've only just read this thread. Last game I played was Wipeout on a PS1.
I don't entirely understand what this game is about, but I want to!
The dirt bikes can get some series air.
I went for an afro. Beard is next on the list.
Is it just me, or do cars not offer as much protection in v5? They seem a bit more explodey on impacts, and lost count of the times I have been ejected through the windscreen.
I'm sure I never used to kill myself driving off silly things in v4 as much. Costing me fortune in hospital fees.
Not exploded one yet but get fired out the windscreen of the Zonda type thing and yes offer little protection from bullets which seems some odd realism to add.

I remember getting ejected in previous version, but seem more a chance of ending in death now.

Put your bloody seatbelt on.
