I've bought a PS3 with gran turismo and GTA IV! Can't wait till I can use it (next friday, after my exams). I'll be able to post in here to see if anyone wants to play GTA online!

Do we have any PS3 online players in here? I think most of us are 360 players.

All glory to the hypnotoad.

I just bought an LCD TV, 40" Samsung 1080p. Can't wait to hook up my XBox 360 and then buy GTA IV.

Going to look awesome.

I tired playing, I kept getting blown up. I haven't played online in awhile.

From what I can tell the PS3 people really don't care about playing with friends online as much.

I logged on yesterday and noticed Peter had the distinction of having killed a Rockstar employee. I was getting on to play a few games of multi for the first time in a few weeks. First of two games, BAM, I get the achievement too. What a coincidence.

--


I also finally got my rolled over achievement last night. My longest cop chase now stands at almost 30 minutes thanks to me going up and down the airport runway constantly trying for the achievement. It took completely screwing up on a different occasion, though. I hit the last jump and I realized it was going to send me over the wall onto the beach and water. As I'm landing in the water, the achievement unlocks.

Weirder yet, I had been keeping track of my rolls stats for the past 15 minutes, and by its count, I only did 4 rolls, instead of the 5 required. Flips must factor in though, cause I probably did one of those.

Odd day in general.

Are there achievements on the PS3, or is it xclusive 360? (lol, I don't know if anyone will get that, its pretty rubbish). But seriously, are there achievements on the PS3 for GTA?

What a let down. Is there anything special on the PS3 for GTA that the xbox doesn't have?

Can you kill a date, or just "frighten" her? I have a sandbox game running and tried to set her on fire, but it bounced off her. I did succeed in blowing her up( and a hooker), along with Niko in a 6 star chase after Niko crossed a blockade bridge.

I asked the same thing. Of those who own both systems, which did you buy, 360 or PS3?

I'm a little curious as to why the separate games. It's not like screwing around has any real effect on the story.

I dunno, these are by far the dumbest people I've dealt with online. Half the time they don't know what they're doing, or ignore it. Hell, I had some guy yesterday who on a game of turfwar decided to go to a corner of the map and do nothing. Best I can figure, he was trying to get a free-ride, otherwise it makes no sense.
