It happens occasionally on the PS3. The Xbox has the odd crashing problem too, I do like the warning noise the 360 gives you though. You can literaly hear the console choking. With the PS3 it's pot luck, could crash anytime and place.

ye well i heard things about the xbox 360 i read something you know and it said 360s have a 30% breakdown chance while ps3 only has 3%. also that the ps3 has better grapfhics and stuff but im worried that if i get an xbox 360 gta 5 might not come out on it. soz for being off topic. moto_whistle.gif

Mine only freezes if I have a scratch on the disc, or if I do something that pushes the game over the limit. I got a new copy of the game recently and I havnt had a problem with it since.

Neither console freezes the game.

sneaky2.gif Mine did as I was about 5 seconds into a car chase mission. Weird thing is it froze but the car sound was still on. The dumbasses at funco land gave me a used copy instead of a new 1. They have some bs thing were they will automatically give you a used copy unless you make sure to tell them you want a new 1. An extra $5 is well worth a new copy...I now know.

i agree with you there too i had a playsation 2 i still have it, dont play it much now cause im all hype bout getting gta 4 aswell. but yea i got gta vcs ps2 used..they put it straight into a bag and i didnt see the cover. when i got home the cover or the plastic thing was half ripped then the artwork on the box had been almost scraped off and as for the disc it worked for a week..but then something went wrong. i bought a new copy and it was perfect and i still have it! but yeah back to topic! soz

60GB SKUs are discontinued. What console are you buying it for... Mine never crashes in single player (I mean, absolutely never), but online maybe once a week if you're unlucky it may crash while you're in the lobby.

My PS3 used to freeze a lot, but R* released a patch early on that helped fix the problem.

The last time I ever had a freeze was in multiplayer...We had a LOT of players, with 6 stars, and then I took the NOOSE van into the swing glitch.

You can guess what happened next.

I think you're over complicating things a bit... for both consoles, it will download automatically if you try to start the game. You're worrying over nothing, there are only very rare problems now with GTA IV, it won't crash a lot or brick your system, just buy and play smile.gif

I'm as confused as gta4pc. Are you saying the patch is already installed in the GTA disk or will I have to go online at some point to download it?

That looks to be a monocle on a string. Maybe the string is there in case it falls out of their eye? Many people have string attached to their glasses, which goes round their necks. This is probably similar.

 

Who knows my friend.
