Grand Theft Auto IV

[CountryBoy]

Got it for the 360. Haven't played it yet. But my 8 year old son loves it. It looks bad ass. Need to pick it up for the PS3 for my other son.

haha 8 year old son. That's what I like good responsible parenting

Has he started having sex yet? If he's not nailing his babysitters by 9 years old I guess you'll have to show him how its done right

He passed San Andreas at 6 years old. Boy got video game skills. And I told him no sex till at least 11.

lol

I've not played a PS3 but in direct comparisons of all the games I've seen the 360 is nearly always better.

According to reviews Oblivion was worse on PS3, so was Half Life. Plus you get Gears of War 1 and 2 on 360 which are awesome if you like shooters.

Of course PS3 has Blue Ray although I think Microsoft are planning on bringing out a Blue Ray player for the 360.

I think a lot will depend on your telly and whether you want to use the Ps3 as a blue ray player.

I have to say I'd go with the Xbox, as firstly I'd never use a console as a dvd player anyway, it just wears out the drive unnecessarily, and two the 360 has a far bigger catalogue of games, which are probably a lot cheaper to buy via eBay etc.

Also the 360 can be hacked to play copied games and it has great online support.

I don't know a great deal about the PS3 but it seems there arn't many decent titles for it, and of those that appear on both formats there is either no difference or the 360 is slightly better.

People tend to have more problems with 360's I think, the whole "red rings" thing but I haven't had any issues. PS3 just doesn't have the games IMO, unless you're a huge Metal Gear Solid fan. And the 360's cheaper.

And XBOX has a shit ton of first person shooters if that's what you're into.

That is the downside with them, about as dependable as Juan Guzman and when playing discs they can sound like your in an aircraft hanger.

You could never really use a 360 for watching movies, at least not ones with quiet dialogue as the hum is unbearable.

I'm not sure if the PS3 has that when playing blue rays but I imagine it does.

Every pc I've ever had is always noisy as hell when playing discs as is every Xbox I've listened to, so no reason why the Ps3 would be any different.

My advice would be to get a 360 for gaming and then if you want blue ray movies a seperate blue ray player. Don't try and combine as you only wear out the drive real quick and consoles make for crappy, noisy awful playback machines anyway.

i have the 360 elite and they have pretty much solved all the problems with that one , not had no red ring yet weras my brothers original 360 gets it all the time , constantly going back and forth between us and microsoft for repairs,

also the noise it makes is greatly improved in the elite, think they put different fans and cooling systems in them

Sounds like the one to get then. It's a bit shit though that their 'elite' model is basically just a working model whereas their standard unit is just complete and utter crap.

They should be called, 'standard' and 'unusable' models

Red rings ? Seems 360 has much deeper selection.I also forget Halo 3 exclusive.Sounds like Im off to Best Buy . How about playing games from the original x-box ? Are either system capable of playing titles from previous systems?
