It is open to all of Europe and all pre-orders in NA. I did my registration on Monday and am glad I did. This is more proof this game and MGS4 are going to fly off the shelves and take a great many PS3s with them...right into the hands of buying consumers.
Konami also has servers in the US and Europe. No one, and this inlcudes Konami and Sony, were prepared for the incredible demand for this title. Remember, servers crashing now is a good thing. It makes sure they are not like some other services that die on the launch of a major title. COD4 anyone?
I think it is great for several reasons. First of all that is the purpose of a beta test - to iron out bugs. Second, it shows the high demand for this title.
You can stop pretending to have a shred of objectivity Martini. You are an acolyte in the fanatical 1st church of st bach. All one has to do is look at your post history. And with no PS3, your qualifications = 0. Here's my ignore button.
Oh look, it's Jason sheep60. He's another one of those grazing wool bearers that has wandered outside the fence to an area where people actually think.
Do you have a PS3? No. A 360? No gamertag = no 360. A Wii? No. Goodbye. Your uninformed opinion means squat. Jason sheep60, meet my ignore button.
Ha ha ha Endzor too funny. But you are dealing with a moron that is even now trying to google Rosetta Stone. He has no idea what the Rosetta Stone was and why it is the name of a particular company's software line.
POG, No one has to be a PS3 fanboy to realize the PS3 came out on top in GTA and the 360 received the crap end of the stick. You just have to be a smart gamer willing to see the damn truth.
You are so used to swallowing crap from people like Shane Kim - what did he say today, "The 360 HD DVD player is still great for playing DVDs and it adds an extra 2 USB ports to the 360" Any twisted crap to keep you acting like the sheep that you are.
It must be killing you that you are the one getting the inferior version. Your opinion is crap next to the dev team.
Here is a clue, dev teams do not like to admit one version is superior so when they finally cough up one looks a little better then it really means it looks a great deal better.
I will take the install over the crappy 360 frame rates.
What are you really getting? The version that looks worse, pop ins, bad frame rates, poor spawning ...
VGChartz is worthless. They have posted figures that completely reverse their prediction on PS3 and 360 totals from a few days ago. So now there has suddenly been a massive jump in PS3 sales?
I know the PS3 is selling better but VGChartz can't seem to make up their mind.
The HD DVD add on is a terrific DVD player? Then why is there one already in the 360 you moron? Is that a crappy one? It adds two DVD ports to your 360? At what cost dumbass?
"World class quality is top priority for the entire Xbox 360 program."
I hate lies but I hate most the bald face ones that think the public is completely ignorant.
"Please know that we have taken major steps to address the hardware issues experienced by our cust...
The practicing of doubling previews is common on many sites. IGN does it with videos and screens all the time. If you look at teh source on some of them you will get a laugh.
I would guess that Rockstar has put a lock on sites discussing quality differences until closer to release. Once that ban is lifted, you will see comparisons up the yingyang over which version is superior.
Although there is some good info in this article, overall I could care less for the writer's take. Constant comments of "like COD4" demonstrate his low brow take. MGO has some heavy design elements from MGS3 online and he notes none of this.
You mean the way Jade Raymond said the AI in Assassin's Creed could not be done on the PS3 - all because they couldn't manage synchronicity on the SPUs. As soon as Sony helped them solve that, things changed.
Once again it isn't the PS3 but rather a dev's lack of ability to utilize it's strengths. As soon as they get past that, look out.
The movie isn't going to be hurt. The first reviews are out and the most prominent line is "this is the superhero movie studios have been trying to make for 10 years."
I have GTA4 reserved on the PS3. While I personally think it will be good, it isn't going to change things at the theaters. One of the things missing from hands on previews are comments that you normally hear about one of the 5 or 10 best games of the year. Meanwhile I am also picking up the Iron man g...
What an idiot people such as yourself are. Do you not know (of course you do not) that the update was also to prepare for Sony's launch later this year of their movie and music download service? No, of course you are unaware. Unlike MS, Sony has a movie studio and music business.
The PS3 store interface is so slick and you are stuck with your clunky page flipping it is only natural that in a fit of envy you would enter a PS3 thread that has nothing to do with you just to cause ...
The store also has the updated Lair controls for download. That store is a next gen interface. talk about slick looking. I have to look at my Wii store and my 360 Marketplace and think somebody needs to innovate because they were just left in the last century.
I picked up Lair on launch. I still have it and it never gathered dust. I learned early on the one thing you need to learn to do in order to play Lair -leave the damn sticks alone.
While I welcome a control scheme that makes it more friendly to a larger audience, the biggest issue from which this game suffered was intentional bad press generated by people out to sabotage one of the big early games on the PS3. It worked. And it wasn't the last game to suffer from a negativity c...
The article is devoid of most fact and is really off the mark in one regard. While DLC sounds good, less than a fifth of 360 owners will get it and it won't be a deciding factor for most. For a few? yes. Most? No.
