Sconnie Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Yea, I thought it would be a loose cable.I figured out how to get it hooked up. But it failed the MTU test saying that XBL would be up after 5 tonight. Will try again just now. It's 6 apparently, what's your gamertag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rab87 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 http://www.gamedaily.com/articles/galleries/best-reasons-to-play-gta-iv-on-xbox-360/ I'm all for the both consoles but the majority of stuff in this article is pi5h. I'm personally getting the ps3 version as most of my mates are online with the ps3. The 2 good reasons to buy the 360 version over the ps3 version is the communication optiosn of Live and the upcoming DLC. Other than that they are pretty much identical This article states such reasons as ; Xbox 360 controller is pimp Sony just released its rumble supported DualShock 3 and it pales in comparison to Microsoft's Xbox 360 controller, which not only feels great in the hands, but also allows us to use a rechargeable battery pack or two standard issue AA batteries. Furthermore, the cord that tethers the controller to the machine is long, letting us sit comfortably on the couch. It's a hell of a lot more convenient than the short USB cable Sony gave us. Sorry, but we prefer to have options when we're murdering polygonal people. Surely this is just down to personal preferance, I have a dual shock 3 and it works great. We already own HD cables PlayStation 3 is supposed to be future proof and lead the high definition charge. You can imagine our surprise when we opened the box and discovered that the system doesn't come with HD cables. Say what? At least the Xbox 360 premium and elite bundles come with the necessary equipment, whereas we had to go and purchase separate cables to enjoy the PS3. Considering the money needed to buy a PS3 and GTA IV alone, we'll stick with the 360. A HDMI cable is ?8.00, the one thing that annoyed me when I bought my 360 is that I had to shell out ?69.99 for a wireless adapter. GTA IV may eat our hard drives Word on the street is that the PS3 version of Grand Theft Auto IV has a mandatory five-minute install. That's not bad. It's the mystery hard drive space that has us worried. Numerous PS3 games need multiple gigabytes in order to run, and quite frankly, we hate developers/publishers for doing this. Don't they realize that we need that precious space for music, movies and "special moment" pics? Not even the mighty GTA IV will get us to delete those naughty clips. Xbox 360 wins again. The vast majority of 360's contain 20gb hard drives while the elite has 120gb, the PS3 has a 40gb or 60gb hard drive included. It is true that certain PS3 games require installation that can be a few GB'S this is due to the slower read times of blu-ray lasers compared to dvd's this will improve with time though and can be fixed via firmware updates. Now if you wish to update your 360 hard drive to a 120GB from your standard 20GB this will cost you ?129.99 this is an absurd cost for a hard drive but as Microsoft wont allow you to install your own hard drive you have to take it. Sony on the other hand allow you to upgrade your hard drive whenever you wish without voiding your warranty, you can easily pick up a 320GB 2.5" SATA HDD for ?89.19.

vegas-voss Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 With you on most of what you say Jimmy Lad although im getting the 360 version.But the installs on the PS3 are a joke and alot of them are about 4gig.So thats 10 games well less than that as your PS3 needs space for other stuff on a 40g machine.It's no problem for me as most games i complete and trade in but others like to keep them.

My opinion It is nonsense for a hard drive ?130 but when the ps3's gta experience is over 360 owners will be looking forward to another 20-30 hours of the game and frankly that swings it for me. No mgs or gran turismo's can make up for that imo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBones Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 That thing about the 360 coming with HD cables, yeh great, if you didnt happen to buy one before they had HDMI ports...like me. I'm going for PS3 version at launch, if the extra content is soooooo good, i'll buy the 360 version IF I eventually get to the end of the PS3 version.

Have you just got your 360 back from Microsoft ? If so you have to got into your settings or something like that and set your 360 to auto sign in.It done that with me when i got my 360 back done my nut in for weeks.

hughesie27 Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 Try getting the special edition pre ordered. OR go into GAME etc and ask if you pre order now will you definitely be able to walk in on Tuesday and get it (they will have recieved their stock of the game by now so will know how much they have compared to the amount of pre orders they have.
