How are you preparing for GTA V?

Recommended Posts

As Topic, How are you preparing for GTA V?

 

For example: Buying a new TV? Sound System? Headphones? Console? Chair/Couch? Monitor? Capture Card? Mouse and Keyboard Adapter?

 

Remember it has to be specifically or partly for GTA V

 

This is how I've prepared,

New Acer 24" 1920x1080 2ms HDMI €100

New Xbox 360 Slim 250GB €90

New Xim Edge €100

New Logitech G105 Keyboard €25

New Razer Goliathus Mousepad €25

Used Steelseries Xai Laser Mouse €15

Total: €355

 

Bought all this before they announced the delay.. *Clenched Fist*

 

Partly for GTA V, BlackMagic Intensity Pro PCI-E €175 for the computer so I can record the game since it won't be out for PC for a while

 

For the Sound I will be using my PC headphones Ultrasone Pro 900, that would be connected through a Logitech Z-5500 controller to the Xbox (Digital Out)

 

So, at last, how are YOU preparing? I hope it's not just me going crazy over GTA V!

I got the PS3 Eagle Eye mouse and keyboard converter

If well calibrated, playing on a console is much more PC-like, a least when it comes to the controls

 

But I will be getting the game on PC as soon as comes out and never come back to consoles

I'm not. Everything is ready. Gaming PC, although this will be playing other games for a long time before it gets to play any GTA V.

 

I did however barrow(take) my girlfriends ps3 as i sold mine last year and will be getting GTA V for the ps3 until PC release.

Well I wanted to buy a new TV anyway but going to play GTAV on it just makes it a better experience This is the TV

 

And I'm also going to buy a new GPU because I want to hook up my PC to this TV (next to my computer screen) so I can use my PC as a kind of console.

This one

 

So its not only for GTAV but its def a factor

Where and how on earth did you get that monitor for such a unrealistic(great) price? i currently have a 28 inch and i hate it. Way to big for a PC so i've been looking for a new one.

It cost €150 but was on Sale for €99, bought instantly biggrin.gif

I got one for for €195 at Christmas with Halo 4 bundled, and if you bought a Xbox 360 with a game, you got €50 back from Microsoft, which I did, so then it only cost me €150, and I then sold Halo for €30 and Skyrim + Forza from the Xbox bundle for €30 (15 each), so I ended up paying only €90 for a brand new Xbox 360 Slim 250GB

Firstly, can i just say, your rig is just..... mind-blowing!

 

Anyways, I upgraded my pc a few months ago not specifically for GTA V though, I am a pc gamer. I wish Rockstar would say when the pc version is coming because i am on the fence about buying a second hand console just for GTA V.

I just bought an HDMI to DVI-D Cable to plug my PS3 into my monitor (23" Acer, 1920x1080 5ms 60hz)

 

Still not sure that it's going to work, but I've got my fingers crossed.If it works, it should be a pretty nice upgrade over the tube TV I play on now.

I tried something similar many years ago, You need a separate cable for the audio and speakers.

I actually bought a new TV Samsung LE32A656 for when GTA IV released.

Last year I bought the newest Samsung 3D 40inch screen.

So I don't need to get ready for GTA V on that front.

I might get a surround sound home cinema kit but my 50 inch full hd 3d plasma + 2.1 with sub will do it justice. Apart from that I've started jogging and will get back on the weights in preparation for 'man time' (xbox online with friends, beers and snacks) icon14.gif

panasonic zt60 60 inch plasma on down payment

 

xbox or ps3 i am likely going for the ps3 i have a special hate love relationship with sony

 

i love their products i hate their copyright ways

 

allthough looking at RDR it looks like xbox shows a better picture is it true that the 360 is stronger then the ps3?

Wait, your preparing for a game by exercising? I don't know what to make of that, either dedication in some sort of weird way or maybe your putting in your exercise now before you loose months sitting on a couch playing.. Either way, um... Thumbs up.

Might buy a superslim PS3. Going to want to keep a PS3 around when PS4's out anyway, so it might as well take up as little space as possible.

 

Been wanting to build a new PC for a while too, so when the PC release date is anounced I can get to work on that.

 

As for consumables while playing: Water.

I'm wanting to get proper equipment for directly recording gameplay off my 360 and PS3 since the PC release may still be a ways off.

 

Any good, user friendly recommendations?

Heard the SuperSlims are sh*t.

 

Apparently they are poorly built or something like that. icon13.gif

 

I wouldn't reccomend that, just get a Slim PS3 or Slim 360. icon14.gif
