So, I don't have a playstation, so I had to wait until now to get GTA:SA, and it's fucking brilliant.



The game is set in 1992, so the alternative radio station (if you're familiar with the game series at all, than you know that there are about a dozen different radio stations you can listen to in 'jacked cars) plays Primal Scream and Stone Roses, amongst others.... I cannot tell you how incredibly satisfying it is listening to 'Fools Gold' and doing drive bys.



Get it, love it.

Yeah, the soundtrack is brill. That game is simply amazing to watch and/or play.

My friend at work got it for the PS2 the day it came out, and he just finished it last week, so I think I've got some playing time left.

My friend got it for PS2 when it first came out and despite being an insomniac alcoholic video-game addict, still took a couple months or more to beat.

Ah i seen that! here stash have you got Xbox live?



I have it, it would be cool to get some games going.



About the GTA:SA, i only buy games that are online nowadays unless they are really good.. like street fighter or somethin.. apart from that i only buy Online..



I currently have:



Halo

Halo 2

Rainbow Six 3

Rainbow Six 3 : Black Arrow

Pro Evolution Soccer 4

Doom 3



I play Halo 2 most but i play PES4 sometimes too.





So do you have xbl? if ya do, or anyone, givvis a shout!

I don't have xbox live... I've been thinking about it, but I'd have to get a router and run another cable through my living room, and I don't think Whirly would approve... my copy of GTA came through, er, 'non-retail' channels.... I'll probably go for the XBL when the xbox360 comes out.

Aye man, its a complete must! the online comunity is so funny! There is alot of wee shites like, Little American kids who scream abuse down the microphone, im not singling them out, theres also the British, its all over really just bad people. But then again there is alot of really friendly people who play and just like to mess about really.

Ill have the xbox 360 this year (when it is released) and when i buy an xbox i demand xbl :P

I don't like the GTA games anymore. GTA:2 was the best game of the series, and then they went all 3D. I wish they'd make another GTA:2. I was proper hooked on that games, hours and hours of fun and the missions weren't as difficult as they are in Vice City.

got bored of it after killing millions of people .

Live for 360 is gonna be free ya know.

yeh, but you know them big companies always looking some money off ye.. so they'll probably have some preminium offers or something.. and i have an xbl account anyway so im fine... its good for new comers though

playstation 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! mmmmim moist already

i was a huge Playstation fan like everyone else when the ps1 was out it ruled. then the ps2 came out i had to buy it! i found it astonishing, graphics were like woah!! but now its the same, and the two consoles are going to be real expensive so you could only buy one unless youve alot of money to spare and im going for the XboX 360, the spec of it just blows me away and the ps3 ;)

and believe me this console is going to rule everything. well i hope so!



i have a ps2 but i hardly play it i have a xbox and i play it atleast once a week, even thought ive only got six games i have xbox live and it makes my gaming experience all the better!



The goods from the likes of china and japan etc(Sony, Nintendo) are usually the dogs balls but this time its the Americans(Microsoft) who are going to be top of the charts in console making if you ask me!







So my advice is.. dont waste your time on the ps3 buy an xbox! - comes with free online play + you can do a whole lot of things more! like transfer music from your ipod onto your xbox.. watch movies with other people across the internet.. built in camera and voice so you can have netmeetings ( that sort of thing) theres a shit load more you can do.. go to



www.xbox360.com

www.xbconnect.com

or just search xbox360 on google to find out more!



I havent really checked out the ps3 so i wouldnt actually know whats better :P but im sure its xbox...





IN MY OPINION!^^

*drools*

sht actually that is pretty good...

ill just get em' both then :P



naw ill prob get a summer job get the xbox then save up again get the ps3..



it sounds actually quite good.. sounds a bit like the xbox cept some of the things on xbox are a bit better, but i didnt know a ps3 has a CD-RW, does this mean that you could put music onto it from your mp3 then put it on disc?

Everything about the PS3, at this point, is complete speculation... they only announced it because Xbox announced it's new console.



Xbox>PS2



Xbox360>PS3



Sony said that same 'Complete entertainment' bullshit about the PS2, if anyone recalls...
