Interesting thing I just noticed is that there are more people on these forums signed up for the PS3 match arranging than there are for the 360 match arranging, thought there'd be a massive number of 360 players compared to a smaller amount of PS3 players.

Noticed that too but I expect most of the 360 users are already on each others lists because of previous games that have had the same threads/arrangements.

the ol ps3 doesnt seem to be fairing well in a head to head

RDR comparison shots

seems like its operation flashpoint all over again with a a lot less foilage on the ps3 version. i think i'll be picking up the 360 version.

Rockstar never made midtown madness, it was a microsoft game.

it was a microsoft published game developed by Angel Stuidos who are now Rockstar San Diego.

(Angel Studios only made the first 2 games and DICE made the 3rd game)

Oh OK, my mistake

Grumps82 · 20 May 2010 at 14:26

Looking at the LE version compared to the normal one. Im definitely going for the normal version, I don't want to have a better horse straight away or increased dead eye etc.

It kind of defeats the object of scouring the landscape for that gem of a horse.

Seems when im trying to input the LE code its failing to connect to their unlock server anyway

Oh well.

Got mine today from the purple lot.

I take it you mean No competitors! then ? I find them great for pre-orders. Not let me down yet.

I've already put two and a half hours in, and that seems to have gone by without even noticing it. I've only done a few of the basic introduction story missions, otherwise I've just been finding various tasks to do from people you meet and skinning animals.

Obviously the game does have a feel of Grand Theft Auto to it, but it seems like that the game has much more depth to it with the things you can do. You just seem to keep running into situations where you can choose to do something and in a lot of cases if you aren't quick enough to react and do something, they either get away or somebody dies.

Liking it so far for sure.

The advantage of holding back your #2, is that you get to read the manual before playing the game.

How much bigger than a Standard package is the LE? Will it fit through a letterbox? Thanks

(on a side note, has someone else taken over Moderation duties in here? I thought the Competitor Rule was more relaxed now :confused:

)

I got my ltd edition today. Apart from the bit of paper with the code it's a standard case with a cardboard surround that just opens out to a picture - so no different really (my came in a jiffy bag through the letterbox).
