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.

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

Well that sucks. Will stick with the slim then as that's been fine. Maybe they'll get the reliability sorted out with later SS models.

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?

Happauge HDPVR gaming Edition 2 is what I'm using.

 

PS3 requires the use of component cables + 2 HDMI's.

360 only requires HDMI.

 

When running games at 1080p, you might experience blurr effects on text on the PS3. but everything else is perfect

 

always record at 720p

Hopefully a new TV, my old Samsung plasma's starting to burn out. But I'm also moving this summer, so we'll see what the bank account looks like come September.

I guess I got headphones, but then again I bought it for my music and for The Last of Us. Maybe this time I can actually hear what the peds say without turning my T.V too loud.

If I were you I wouldnt turn the xbox on until sept 17th, just to avoid the RROD as long as possible.

I just got a super slim a few weeks ago after my 6 year old launch model got the YLOD. I don't have a problem with it. So quiet, light, cool and nice looking. Got it for £129, the 12gb model but I had a spare 320GB HD so put that in and saved myself £100.

 

Nothing wrong with it.

Losing weight. In fear that I may add a few pounds when I inevitably get sucked into this game for a couple of days at the start.

 

Happy with my TV. Though wouldn't mind getting a sofa and coffee table for my room. Have all my snacks sitting ready. (Crispy M&Ms FTW!).

I thought they fixed that with the new slim models? Isn't it just the older models that get it?

All I know is my brother has gone through 3 xbox's, one of which was a slim.

 

Not to mention I dont know a single xbox owner who hasnt got the RROD. Its the only reason I havent bought one yet. Scares me...

Ah, alright, I thought they had sorted it out. I'm a PS3 owner so don't know.

Ya, I'm probably jinxing it right now, but I don't know how I've been so lucky. Got my XBox in June '08, one of the original, big ones. Here we are 5 years later and its still going strong.

 

I've actually gotten the RROD several times, but every time its happened, I frantically shut it off, leave it a few mins, and then turn it back on, in which every time its come back on green. So I guess it wasn't the true RROD. Very odd.

I have owned an xbox slim since February 2012 and haven't yet experienced RROD

But some people play on there xbox for hours with poor ventilation so its no wonder the console breaks down.

You might have just been lucky. I was lucky with my PS3 that I got the day it came out. Lasted over 6 years before it got the YLOD. Don't know how many times it had been dropped aswell. The thing just kept running all those years.

Get out then if you have nothing to contribute to the post. Nobody is making you post in here or do you just like being an asshole?

I haven't bought anything for GTA V but I have a brand new PS3 (old launch model died few weeks back) and I've set up some nice speakers for my TV. My TV's screen is starting to mess up (backlight issues/burn in/faulty pixels) due to age. I got it about 5 years ago. Might end up having to get a new one.

 

On the 17th, before I get the game, I'll go through all the settings on my TV making sure brightness/contrast etc are at their proper settings and put it in gaming mode. I'll adjust the bass/volume levels on my speakers. I'll make sure my PS3 is up to date, internet plugged in via Ethernet, free up space on the HD, controllers are charged up. Once that's all done I'll head out to the shops to pick the game up and buy loads of drinks and snacks.

 

That's about it.

I got myself a nice Dell 27inch monitor a month ago but I'd be lying if I said it was specifically for GTA, one of my PC monitors just needed an upgrade.

 

I AM rebuilding a User Tracks playlist though, that Im using right now for a SA replay, but intend to use in GTAV.
