now i dont wanna start any arguments so can we please keep this to actual factual information

i have both consoles and this will be the best game ever made to date on any console - so which console do i purchase it on???

which console will have the better graphics???
smoother gameplay??
better sound??

everything has to be right

my ps3 is a lot quieter - also uses hdmi - but it has no extra content available

what will the downloadable content be??

is it missions or characters or what??

i need to pre-order this game so is there anybody out there who could tell us all which one will be better?

i could always buy the ps3 version then sell it and buy the 360 version when the DLC is released but is it really worth the hassle
 
wow quick replys and i have ordered it on the 360

here are the pros and cons how i see them

360 pros - DLC, better controls, better online system for updates, online play is possible

cons - noisy console, unreliable console (could kill the console whilst playing), not as powerful as the ps3, doesnt come with guaranteed hard drive for cacheing, installing to hard disk

ps3 pros - much lighter controller but the controller itself now feels dated, very quiet console, very reliable console, feels more graphically powerful, guaranteed large hard disk for installing, cacheing

cons - no downloadable content, slightly dated control system, no rumble, no decent online system

so the 360 won it for me, i could always just buy it on the ps3 if it is much smoother gameplay

Same boat as you. I am leaning towards the ps3 version as more people I know in have PS3s and are getting this game. Like you could get the 360 version cheap in over 6 months when the DLC is released. Still plenty of time for more detailed reviews before ordering I think, but I think the DLC is a bit too vague at the moment for me to buy it solely for that reason (If it comes at the expense of not being able to play the online with mates on the ps3).

thats it though is this game playable in co-op online or multiplayer even??

if it is then the 360 wins hands down

rp2000 we could always do a swap if you want

ill play my 360 version for a month then post it to you and you do the same with your ps3 version and after another month swap back

will cost us like a tenner in p and p but i think it will be worth it

I very much doubt it will be smoother on the ps3 considering the experience they have with the 360.

like i said originally i dont wanna start a war, but i genuinely believe the ps3 is a much more powerful console

its certainly more reliable anyway, so if my 360 dies, rather than waiting for a new one ill just buy the ps3 version

currently i have pre-ordered the 360 version - so as you can see im totally confused about which will be better but DLC wins it for me
 
hmmm by the sounds of the online system you wouldbe better off with the 360 rp2000, i tried playing pes2008 on the ps3 network the other day and the lagg was awful in 90% of the games i played

the 360 has a much smoother online system, with dedicated servers, etc

you may have to pay for it but its probably worth it

i am critical of both systems but i think the 360 is definiteley the console to have this game on

in 2 years time they will make GTA 4 part 2 and hopefully by then sony will have a decent online system up and running and then i would buy the game on ps3 rather than 360

i think this will be the last year i am purchasing a gold live membership purely for this game

ive managed to make my mind up now - thanks for everyone who helped

ive been waiting for this game for like over 4 years

GTA 3 the original was the only game i have played from start to finish and enjoyed every single part of it

the ones that came after it were crap

yes they added helicopters and other crap into them, but they never felt the same

san andreas was possibly the worst out of the lot having to excercise and eat, if i wanted to play the sims i would have bought it
 
OMG you guys have totally confused me now and i have just pre ordered ps3 version also

ill play both and if 1 is a lot better than the other then ill get rid of it, otherwise ill keep both since im sure my wee bro will wanna play it when im playing it, so he can use one console whilst i play on the other

Thank God, another one who thinks like me!!!! :D:D:D

I remember being totally blown away with GTA3 and played it constantly for months, the rest just didn't have the same sparkle or Wow factor imo. I think many loved VC cos that was the popular one. Although IMO VC was the weakest of the series. But GTA3 is really the best!!!!

all the others were just add-on really thats why they never called them GTA 4

thats why this one is totally different, new engine, etc, new graphics, and its gonna be amazing, really been waiting for this

got a HDTV now

got a 5.1 sound system now as well

its gonna be a million times better than GTA 3

i reckon ill play it non stop for 6 months
