Should i get GTA IV for PS3 or 360?

i realise if i get it for PS3 i wont have to pay for my online anymore on the 360, however there will probably be more players on the 360 version, and its getting exclusive content which we dont know if the ps3 is yet

anybody have both consoles but dont know which version to go for?

its going to have warmer colors on the ps3 (wat ever the hell that means)

the 360 will have DLC, i would probably buy the 360 one first and later on the ps3 (its going to be weird playing GTA on a non-playstion control, ive been playing GTA on playstion since the first one)

You might as well toss a coin.meetroid8

So true, either way the sheer number of players on this on BOTH consoles mean you won't struggle finding a game.

I mean, if I managed to get a PSN game of Killzone today, anything is possible...

if u care about the DLC then get the x360 version if not then get the ps3 version and save the money

I would say the Xbox 360 version, but that's only because I myself have 360 and not a PS3.

Just like somebody's said already, just toss a coin and go with the results.

360 first, PC years from now when it hits $10-20 and maybe PS3 if it gets any unique content.

all the cool kids are getting the 360 version. You wanna be cool dont ya?

lol i couldnt resist saying that

I'm getting it for my PS3, because my 360 has died twice on me :S

Otherwise, I'd probably just flip a coin.

I'd get it for Sony's box, cause 360 might RROD. That's one hell of a lame reason but it popped into my brain mind instantly.jackvegas21

thats a sick manson sig

360 for exclusive downloadable content the size of san andreas and superior online.shoeman12

bingo, DLC

It is plain stupid not to get th 360 version.

1. Prolly better graphics or framerate because Rockstar has been showing the game on the 360 not PS3.

2. Online will be better with Xbox Live and larger userbase with the 360 version wand majority will have voicechat unlike PS3..

3. Finally episode downloadable content only for the 360 which is said to be as big as previous GTA games. WOW!!!

I am not being biased those are all facts.

Thanks for the opinions guys

i preordered the 360 version with 500 ms points @ gamestation, also preordered mario kart for wii at the same time with free mk figure lol :)

I'd rather have the PC version of IV for online play tbh.. only because i wish there could be 50+ players though.

HMV is giving 1000 ms points with pre-orders.

Woah, internet rumors much? :|

And the graphics have been described as..WARMER on the PS3 whatever the hell that means..

Wait for the PC version, high res graphics and free DLC.

I'm planning to get a console version, then trade it in for a PC version when that comes out :D

No, you're being extremely biased and there's absolutely no hiding it. The only thing you've said that was a fact was the DLC the 360 version will receive, but it hasn't even been confirmed by Rockstar to be the size of San Andreas, etc.

Chances are, both games will have equal graphical quality. You also can't judge the online at all until you play it; remember, this is the first attempt at a multiplayer mode for GTA (excluding that weird co-op secret in SA), so it always has the potential to flop.

I dunno i rekon u shud get ps3 because with the extra space on blue-ray it might be able to fit in these "extra episodes" although it should cost more although everything is right there.

You might as well toss a coin.meetroid8

Go on, Do it.

HMV = £40 + 1000 pts

Gamestation = 500 pts + £35, i dont think im losing out.

I think the multiplayer will be not much different to what we have already seen like in SA-MP pc mod except with GTA IV we cant have 100+ players (soon to be 500 in the SA mod) and i guess we wont have total freedom of the city for some modes.

perfect_chao

I have both. I'm getting the PS3 version.

Reasons: It may not get DLC as quick as the Xbox 360, but it will get it eventually. The large amount of dosh MS paid R* with is for 2 DLC pieces with the second one to be released before Q1 2009.

I prefer the controller (personal preferance, this is not an attempt to start a war)

PS3 has sixaxis but I have never really seen it used in any way that didn't feel like an afterthought. Sam Houser of Rockstar has said that GTA will make use of Sixaxis in a meaningful way (hopefully helicopter control and some other cool stuff, like integration into the cover system or for the balance minigame when holding onto the back of vehicles)

Free online gaming

I live in a house with 5 other dudes who will probably want to play GTA on whichever system I get it for, but with the profile system, if any of them just want to get 6 six stars after all the game features are unlocked and whatnot, they'll have to keep logging into my profile to access the save with that accursed Xbox 360 profile system which I hate so much.

is sixaxis really a good enough reason to buy the ps3 version?

360 Definitely

Better online experience overall.

More people online.

Features like voice chat implemented flawlessly.

Achievement points.

Exclusive Downloadable Content.

Life of Online Mulitiplayer will last much more longer than on PS3.

I agree with everything you said except for life of online play. There is absolutely no way to tell that players will play GTA4 longer online on the 360.

!!!!RROD!!!

You want to play it stress free dont you?

GTA is probably my favourite franchise of all time. Without DLC, I will be putting in at least 200 hours of gameplay in it. Every GTA game so far, I have played through at least 8 times from start to finish including submissions. If I am going to invest this amount of crazy time into a game, I want to do it with the controller I am most comfortable with and, tbh, the Xbox 360 controller hurts my fingers after playing for more than a few hours in a row (not a hate comment, it's just that, the bumper buttons are higher up and the two nubs of the base of the pad are larger than the PS3 one and I grew up with the Playstation systems so even now, after having my Xbox 360 for a year, it still feels alien. Just personal preferance I guess).

What you posted makes no sense. The Xbox 360 controller is so comfortable. Do you have little hands? If you're so crazy about GTA why would you even consider it for PS3. You'll be missing the definitive version. Your lost I guess. I have my 360 version already paid for.

As I said, matter of preferance. The fact is, extensive use of Xbox 360 controllers makes my fingers ache. It's fine for a few hours at a time, but for longer than that, I'd only be comfortable with my good old PS3 controller.

And you say definitive version, but the PS3 will get DLC at some point and I'm a patient man. That and the profile system bugs me to the point where I get most of my multi-plats on my PS3.
