I hope that this late in the game Rockstar has figured out a way to using the freaking PS3 hardware to not deliver a lesser port.

I didnt know that the Xbox 360 version of GTA 5 would be on 2 discs.

They could get a second job...?
Eh, they deserve it for being cheap.
Wow. I did the exact same thing. Though sometimes it was "get at least 4 stars and see how long you can last". Then whenever someone would get wasted, they'd pass the controller, haha. Good times.
Yeah, can't purchassd XBLA games be redownloaded if deleted? I could be wrong here, but I don't think there's any risk in deleting that stuff to make some temporary room for GTA V.S¡mon;67686661 said:

I'm choosing ps3 because that's where most of my friends play games on. I dont believe there will be any noticeable difference between the two versions.

I was assuming it is a big game.
GTAIV with DLC was two discs I think, as was RDR. I think Max Payne 3 was two discs without any DLC.
R* have a history of two discs on 360, though granted only their latest game was two without the DLC.

LA Noire was three discs on 360! What a mammoth beast that was. Though it wasn't entirely a R* game and I guess part of the reason was the facial animation.

I'd honestly delete my whole hard drive, even if it was permanent, just to play GTA V.
Seriously though, we are in the semi digital age, where all your purchased stuff is tied to your account so you can delete and redownload at your leisure.

Was that without the DLC or with it? I know there is a GOTY floating about for it, but it may just be codes to download the content rather than on disc.
They also sell PS3's with 12 GB.

Without.
I never understood how this works. At least with the 360 nearly all games don't need to be installed.
Without. I bought it at launch and it's three discs. Intense stuff. But like I said, I think part of the reason was the MotionScan technology.

I remember hearing that ps3 was the lead platform. Not like it matters because Max Payne 3 shows that they have gotten better.
Cheap people, cheap people everywhere.
Seriously. GAF is full of them. Can't believe how many people are still rocking a phat 20GB 360. How does that thing still work?
"Sad" lol.
What's truly sad is your attitude. No one is in denial, we're simply stating that the general populace simply doesn't notice these differences. If we were talking about the 360 version running at 60fps vs 30, then sure, but unfortunately that's not the case.
Most "gamers" (not us enthusiasts) don't know shit about resolution, etc. to them, if the box says 720p, then that's the truth, they don't know or care otherwise. To expect different or think everyone playing games is as keen as us? THAT, my friend, is denial.
I think so they can sell it as a cheaper entertainment device for those who want it,if you want to play a ton of games on it I guess they expect you to buy one with a bigger HDD

Fair enough
See? I'm not completely unreasonable.
Yeah, our rule was "if you're not generating at least one wanted star within 5 minutes or setting up something really crazy, you're disqualified". We had some pretty strict rules, but it usually led to some amazing stuff. Like riding a bicycle (not a motorcycle, a bicycle) up the big mountain in San Andreas and launching CJ off the jump at the summit just to see how long it would take to hit the ground. Or me discovering a "warp point" in one of the buildings in the Hollywood Hills that, if jumped into, would teleport the player to the central street in the middle of Los Santos.
I have so much Rock Band DLC on my 360 that deleting it would basically mean I'd have to spend an entire afternoon redownloading it all. Deleting really isn't an option at this point in time, at least for me.

These two things do not comply.
My brother has an old phat 20GB from the minute the 360 launched and it still works like a charm.
Why buy a new 360 when the old one does exactly the same thing? Playing games.
I'm on this forum and I really don't care about resolutions either TBH.

Sounds like they're going in hard with V's multi-player. I'm looking forward to more details.
Do we already know if this kind of install will be gone with the PS4? I assume reading from the HDD will always be faster than from the disc drive.
640p vs. 720p

Cool, the mandatory install is the best way, and the way I was hoping they'd do it, if the game has to be on more than one disc. I install all my games to the harddrive anyway.

I'm leaning towards PS3 at the moment simply because that is the version they have been showing to journalists and they have said it looks good. If the 360 version is better (as was the case with RDR and GTAIV) then I'll get it on that. Having to install it isn't an issue.

Never forget the time when I said each character will be on it's own disc and people went crazy. It's a non issue.
Well, your argument kinda falls flat when someone who claims he doesn't care, claims he can't see it tries to state its factual differences on an enthusiast forum. If you can't see it or feel it, why the hell would you take to a forum and try to discuss the differences when you know nothing about it? I don't join a musical forum and go into a discussion about guitars, people talking about their differences and I say "lol colour" -- I just stay the hell out or discuss shit I actually know something about.
There are differences, they are very clear to some and they are on paper. So saying one version is superior is just true, nothing more, nothing less. You just seem to be confusing my argument with saying "PS3 version is unplayable!!!" because I'm not. Where the hell am I even arguing for the general public or saying "EVERYBODY CAN SEE THIS!!!1" - You are just grabbing shit from thin air to create some sort of argument with me. I said quite a few people can see the difference, however any idiot knows the general gaming public doesn't care but we aren't even discussing that segment.
People who can't see it or don't care, will in the end, not give a shit. However when someone is stating the differences between them and personally use that to choose their version, why the hell would someone who doesn't care have in business in that discussion? You apparently mistake my posts for speaking on the behalf of the entire gaming population.
Max Payne 3 is one of the most impressive looking PS3 games so I wouldn't worry about that.

I agree it will look better, I said so in my second post with a joke about the grass. This has upset some people it seems, which was not my intent. Especially when I was agreeing that saying they will look that same was a PR move, again, in my second post.
But...some people have either misread my intent, or woke up on the wrong side of the bed today
It's all good though, I have nothing invested in it either way.
I don't think people are upset. But you are brushing off the differences as if they don't matter on a board where we discuss down to the pixel. The responses were not unexpected. Nobody is saying it's unplayable. But in the past, the differences are definitely noticeable by most.
I mean, it's obvious when talking about differences we're speaking to the people who have the choice. Somebody who only owns a PS3 or a 360 obviously wouldn't care either way about this conversation.
Screw flash drives. I ordered a 320GB HDD for $40 on eBay.
Won't the difference between PS4 and XBO games be much bigger than PS3/360 games? People are predicting major resolution and frame rate bumps.

Yeah. I heard that those USB thumbdrive are really expensive these days.
If you'd spend $20 on a 32GB USB drive, you may as well just spend $40 on a 320GB HDD =P
