That's what I'm running mine from and it's fine although it took a while to install, the write speeds are pretty low
You should go to Ammu Nation stores and do the gun club range. Good for practice and cheap
Come on Robbie, read my full post
I was there for about 2 hours last night practicing until my head hurt.
Guess its just more practice, 20 years of using a mouse and hardly playing on consoles!
Still loving the game though

Completely missed that
I guess if it didn't auto aim in actual gameplay it would help improve accuracy considering it doesn't auto aim in the gun range which seems a bit backwards!

I got kicked out of the strip club 
Next time they do that, I'm going to go all Heisenberg on their arse

I have a 4GB 360 so have had to install the mandatory portion to a USB stick - bought the official 360 SanDisk version - and am running the game off the DVD with zero issues [apart from the noise]. Now I'm used to the 30fps it seems fine, and any dips lower are tolerable. I am certainly seeing no 'pop' apart from shadows changing as you get closer... so if its happening, then it must be very subtle, or a long way out [see Skyrim for bad 'pop']
I have noticed some terrain tiles look blurry if you position the camera quite low, which looks like poor filtering on the 360 version.
I jumped on a train last night, and just rode it across the map... the detail and variety of the terrain is very well done, will little obvious repeating, or tiling can can plague open world games... and the atmospheric effects are breathtaking... it also brought home how vast the map is.
I think its a visual marvel, regardless of platform, and my only major gripe is the resolution and jaggies.
I wonder how the game would tolerate the play disk being installed to a second USB stick, just to get rid of the drive noise?... I may give it a try.

From what people can make out, they built the game to stream assets from two sources, HDD (mandatory install) and DVD. Installing both discs to the same HDD can prevent some objects/textures loading quickly enough so they can pop-in.
So choices are,
Install both discs and put up with it or not notice it
OR
Only do the mandatory install and play from DVD
OR
Do mandatory install and install the play disc to a USB stick/USB HDD

Is this going to come out on the PC soon?

No

Have you spent it all on hookers
How far in are you though? I have only just done the frst heist but seems to earn a lot from it.
That just made me think, if you can replay the missions can you redo a heist mission if your low on cash? As I am thinking
That the first heist I took $4mill which by the time I paid off the guy for the house and crew Micheal and Franklin share wasn't that high but if you can replay it as a new mission you could earn a lot more for not having to pay for the house again

I'm off to Tesco today for some food shopping. Will take a considerable amount of willpower to stay away from the console games aisle.

It does get better as you get on in the game. Property where you can make money is the way forward. EG I bought an Airfield as soon as properties open up and it brings home 7k a week as well as what ever you do on top.. i'm saving on Franklin at the moment to buy the taxi company in town.

I find that pretty unlikely

Don't have it just yet. Although, I will do soon.
Although, I will do soon. Well I spent about 10 hours on this yesterday and have today off so will most likely be doing the same later (need to go out first though).
Few questions:
1) When you call up for the blimp, where do you actually go to pick it up??
2) I attached a scope to my smg but can't work out how to use it. Is it simply there to give you that slight zoom effect when you press down on the right stick?
Btw, for those saying you can't keep engine/music/lights on in cars when you get out, there is actually a way. You basically just bail out as the car is in motion. You lose health but only a minor amount if you do it right.

Has anyone else had an issue where the graphics look poor and the text is unreadable?
I'm trying to work out if it's being caused by the console trying to fit it onto my 23" monitor or if something has gone wrong with my console

Also, is it just me, or is anyone finding it a bit tricky to quickly change weapons in the heat of battle or when under pressure. The system is fine when you have time, but real quick changes seem tricky for now while I get used to it
