I voted undecided. Because of new revelations, I want to change my vote.

awesome to hear about the edge supposedly being given to the PS3 version...bravo R*
...unfortunately, because of the firing being mapped to the DSIII/Sixaxis triggers....that by default, makes me still have to keep my 360 version =/
...it really is that big a deal for me

My friend's almost launch-date 360 RRoDed last week:|
I should buy my PS3 close to the release of the game, but probably not day one.

I doubt they'd release DLC that required people to complete the game first for a game like this.

Dan Houser said it would be something akin to a new mission giving NPC.
Interestingly I've noticed a lot of references to Las Venturas in the in-game media (TV, Radio, Internet travel site) but that could be wishful thinking.

Well, don't seem like controls can be changed. Going with the 360 version.

Huh? I thought you could choose to use the classic control scheme?
Think I'm gonna go with the PS3 version, and if I like the game enough lol) I'll get it on PC when that comes out. Main reason for the PS3, isn't the supposed technical shit, purely my flatmates only have PS3's so only way for me to run around Liberty City shooting the crap out of them x)

is that a good thing?
classic control scheme sounds like the shit San Andreas had. All I wanted was to remap shooting to R1/L1.

PS3, Day one. If the DLC is REALLY compelling (and I'm talking fucking outstanding) AND MS has redesigned their hardware to be quieter and RROD proof, I'll pickup a new 360.

UGH! I know.
Wait, what'd you say? I can't hear you too well. I think a jet plane is landing in my living room.
Oh, wait. Duh. It's just that stupid console I'm getting rid of.
This is my third apartment in a month. My landloards keep thinking I'm running a discount Airliner! In my apartment!
I mean, it's like, "Seriously? With the price of gas these days?"

FYI, can we please have a "Which version DID you buy?" Poll on Tuesday?
:lol Thats what I find so amusing about this thread. So many people justifying/defending their purchasing decisions when in all likelihood, most of them don't have the choice to begin with.Pimpwerx said:I'll be buying the vastly superior PS3 version. Of course...all I have is the vastly superior PS3, so I don't have much of a choice.
I have both consoles. I only have Silver level Xbox Live service, so I will be getting the PS3 version in case I decide to try out the multi-player. Also, everything else being equal, I prefer playing games on the PS3 as it is quieter and takes more advantage of the hard drive. DLC is only a small factor for me since there is so much content without it.
leaning and will probably shoot for the 360 version. I own both systems and I feel it would be a waste to buy the PS3 version knowing that I'm paying $50/year to use my 360 online. Might as well put my subscription to good use
By the way, will the PS3 version support voice chat and worldwide region multiplayer?
I also would like to know when do you guys suspect the PC version will be released?

Ill most likely order the PS3 version along with the 360 version which is already paid for.
Have a play of both versions, see which is better to my eye, on online play here in Australia.
Sell the unwanted version on ebay.
360 should have had an *optional install* option. Damn the Core console.

ditto.
Sounds like both versions are pretty similar on a technical level. Awesome news, and I can only hope it stands up to intensive tech-GAF scrutiny.
I'm glad that the PS3 has the slight edge, since it means I won't regret buying the game on my preferred system. I was imagining the games would be comparable, but that the 360 would have the graphical edge, in which case I'd have been forced to sacrifice performance for free multiplayer, or vice versa. That would have made the choice much harder, and if the game hadn't featured online I'd have bought it for 360.
But things being as they are, quality multiplayer modes than I can play for free trump DLC of unknown quality for me. When I know exactly what the DLC is and can judge its worth for myself, I may feel compelled to double-dip. I hope so, because more worthwhile GTA will make me happy.

Change undecided to > PS3 version.
Purely because it's region free and costs less to me. Technical differences don't matter that much to me when they're so small, so I might have bought the 360 version based on GAF Halo crew on my friendslist. Then again, I don't know how much I'll be playing MP and I really need more games to put in my PS3.
