or glitches for the PS3 system. I'm sick of hearing and seeing bad reviews for PS3 games with all manner of problems when 360 owners are getting better programmed versions. It's even worst when ps3 based mags fail to highlight the bugs, I should buy more multiformat mags in future.

I've booked the day off and I'm really looking forward to it. Rockstar better not fuck this up.

I don't want to start a whole 3cepticons vs Xbots thing, but the ps3 seems like a buggy piece of crud sometimes. I mean, the 360 melts every few months, but they can replace them.

I think GTA IV will be the one they get right. It's a traditional unit-shifter for Sony, and R* were careful enough about the game to develop two random titles (Table Tennis and The Warriors) to test their fighting and RAGE stuffs. I'm sure they've been careful about the coding and dev shit, too.

Dude I hope your right but even Sega and monolith fucked up on the PS3 (condemned 2) and ea (the orange box) so even the big software houses are prepared to turf out shite. I just hope R* (as you put it!) havent rushed this out to fit deadline and suit demand

If anything I'd put the delay down to them ensuring both versions are as close as possible. Remember it was supposed to be out last October.

Will this ever come out for the Wii?

I've never played any GTA games.

Chances aren't exactly high and even if it did it would be pretty bad due to the limitations.

If you're looking for a GTA styled game on the Wii there is always Scarface: The World Is Yours, Bully: Scholarship Edition and The Godfather: Blackhand Edition. They're pretty good bets if you want some GTA action.

I just found out the Australian version sold here will be censored in some way. Fucking bullshit. Luckily the discs aren't regionalised so I'll just buy a NZ copy online FTW

Never proven.

Take-Two's Strauss Zelnick attributed the delay to "almost strictly technological problems... not problems, but challenges."

Let's face it, if he was allowed to say it, he would. It's pretty obvious.

Everyone knows it...

yeah problems with the 360 not having a dedicated hard drive to count on and cramming an assload of content onto a DVD9 vs a BD disc.

one of the reasons they have to add DLEC to the 360 version is because they couldn't cram anything more onto the disc itself.

R* said early on that had it been a PS3 exclusive, it would have been a larger game because of having a guaranteed HDD in every box and up to 50gb of space if they went dual layer BD available to them.

Lawl. You sure the downloadable content wasn't because of all the money microsoft gave them? Also, what your saying implies the ps3 version is getting the downloadable content on the bluray disc, which isnt the case.

We're never going to know weather it was the ps3's or the 360's fault for the delay and we could all argue for our favourite console using hearsay, so I'm not going to start with that.

I know the DLC as far as episodes go were 360 exclusive due to the payola. But they had to make it DLC only because they were out of room on DVD9. Early interviews with R* indicated before the payola they were considering PS3 exclusive just due to space.

MS better hope they move some serious units to offset that payola though.

Xbox 360s aren't great anyway. Name five good 360 games that you can't get on anything else.

Crackdown
Viva Pinata
Blue Dragon
Mass Effect
Halo / GoW

It's a blast via multiplayer though. I consider Crackdown the appetizer before the main course (GTA4).
