Good choice.

I'm hating myself for selling my joint last year now smh but 270 is a steal for the game and 500gb ps3 worst case I can use it as a blu ray player I'n the future in another room and have ps4 in my room

solidus snake · Sep 17, 2013

No games I NEED for PS4, which is why I said screw it and copped the bundle.

Now if GTAV and MGSV were releasing within 3 months on it, that'd be a different story.

Face off: Grand Theft Auto 5 PS3 vs Xbox 360 http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-grand-theft-auto-5-face-off

The Digital Foundry verdict:
At last, Rockstar North's monstrous open-world caper is here in all its glory - but after five years and an estimated £170 million being sunk into development and marketing, which version is the one to buy? After playing both versions extensively and amassing over 2TB of lossless video to analyse, we must stress that you're bound to have a fantastic time with either take. Lighting and physics engines are fully intact on both versions, and the minor differences in reflection mapping go down as nitpicks. At its core, both PS3 and 360 present the same massive Los Angeles-inspired sprawl via the same 720p native resolution lens, with almost entirely identical effects and object detail.

However, it's apparent that the PS3 version has an undeniable advantage in one area: even to the naked eye, ground textures on 360 are blurred as a result of what appears to be unoptimised asset streaming. Glitch or not, this basically amounts to concrete and grass textures appearing fuzzier beneath the feet of Trevor, Michael or Franklin, while the PS3 version's remain crystal clear. The 360 does command a minor advantage in frame-rate during synchronised play, but for shoot-outs and high-speed hurtles down the city streets, the PS3 can sometimes pull ahead in these metrics - though the difference is rarely perceptible either way. Since all else is identical across the board, the PS3 version is recommended on the grounds of image quality if you have the option.

Grand Theft Auto 5 easily counts as the most feature-rich and eye-catching sandbox title of the current generation to our minds, though the silence on the as-yet unannounced PC and next-gen releases is deafening. Adaptations must surely be in the running - and doubtless these would be bolstered by smoother performance and higher-grade effects afforded by more muscular hardware. But that's perhaps missing the point; with so much heist-plotting content crammed into one package, and with an intriguing 16-player online mode yet to be patched in, there's no time like the present to enjoy Los Santos' delights on the platforms you already own.

Also for Xbox360 owners: Grand Theft Auto 5: Installing Xbox 360 "Play Disc" to a USB Flash Drive Works Fine

Disappointed that installing both disc one and two to your Xbox 360 hard drive causes noticeable streaming problems? In our testing, we found that installing disc one to HDD and disc two to a USB flash drive sorts out all the problems - as you'll see here.

Honestly it gets better. You level up your driving skills. I'll probably get frustrated again but I leveled up Franklin a lot yesterday night.

Good to hear.

Just saw that it was delivered from the tracking on UPS

Maaaan I'm gonna go cop the ps3 bundle on lunch break and just cop a ps4 a year or 2 from now or when price drops

I just fixed my YLOD over the weekend for this game. Probably wont buy a PS4 till a slim version drops.

Got home and the install seemed like an eternity

Played for 6 hours. Did the first couple of Franklin & Michael main missions.Did a couple of each of their unique moment missions also.

My thoughts so far:

-Graphics are beautiful and yes they do rival The Last Of Us.Which honestly that game's graphics didn't totally blow me away like how many people were making it out to be.
-Driving has been very well improved compared to GTA IV, but there is still a learning period & adjustment with GTA V's mechanics & physics.
-Radio stations and game soundtrack are great and all stations have a nice variety in them.
-The in game HUD & Mini map guide though feels dated & and is in need of a improvement.
-Love the combat style when in gun battles.If you guys played Max Payne 3 you'll know what I'm talking about.
-Franklin's homie Lamar honestly is a little annoying.There were already sometimes in the Franklin & Lamar missions I wanted to knock him the F out or wished I could just off him already :lol

Going to get some rest now so that I can re charge and play this game for a bunch of hours later today.

Damn those of you who have already had it delivered by UPS.

Being towards the end of my driver's daily route FTL.

marcielago · Sep 17, 2013

That's not a permanent fix and is more of a temporary band aid to the problem.If I were you if the PS3 can stay on long enough I'd suggest taking it into your nearest Gamestop ASAP and trading it into them and using whatever money they give you for it and put it towards that PS3 Super Slim 500GB & GTA V bundle.

Word I only play fighting games and games like GTA and infamous I think it's too late for me to try and play FPS. I was looking to buy a refurb/ used ps3 on eBay but I see bad reviews online about buyin used. Seems like best buy has a ton of these

Top Boy · Sep 17, 2013

Played it all night like a fool.

Im in the library right now barely awake.. Another class 10-10:50.

Can't wait to get back to the crib, crash, wake up, and get right back at it. Game is perfection.

For those that stick up stores, does that option unlock after a mission or something? I wasn't even able to pull my gun out in stores.

No one raved about the Lost of Us' graphics. Its story and atmosphere were the selling points.

Picking this up later. Not in a rush to play like some of you.

Nah. This is the OG 80GB and I'm keeping it for nostalgic purposes. Plus GameStop would only give me $80. Fix is permanent from what I've seen. I dismantled it and applied the thermal paste on the motherboard. Left in on for 10 hours straight for a back up with no issues. I just keep the in open space now and no issues.

Just deleted everything but Madden 25 from my HD, until I found out that the 16GB is split between two disks.

:x

solidus snake · Sep 17, 2013

Thanks. Not too far away then eh?

nomadicsole21 · Sep 17, 2013

Driving is :hat

waaaaaaaaay better than IV. I just went HAM exploring and doing a few missions. The amount of things you can do in game is insane. It is beyond my expectations but I guess not trying to hype it before hand makes it all better.
