I've got a PS3 so i'm getting it on that but if i had both i'd probably get the 360 version because of the extra online content and just the general suckyness, IMO, of the PS3 online stuff with GT5P. To be fair though, the online gaming stuff for GTA4 on both consoles looks like the awesomest fun ever
Does anyone know why there is extra content planned for the 360 version only?

Microsoft paid handsomely for the exclusive content.

those damn greeneys! He prolly wants a game where you break in to peoples houses, install solar panels, kill people driving non-prius's, and deal in carbon trading.

i emailed EB games head office yesterday
they have no confirmation of the 80gb comming to aus yet
so its still rumours

[Falcon_Phill]

Damn this game is f'ing great (unedited version). The physics are unbelievable. Cant wait to get into it this arvo. And now I have to go to work out:

[3vXT]

How infuriating. The finger expression is a nice touch.

Can't wait for Tuesday, playing it's awsomeness should make up for the annoyance I'm still feeling.

[3vXT]

I'm sorry but that photo almost made me mess myself nice work.

[Nickxb]

Had the same thing happen to me (red ring of death). Made me glad i paid for the extended warrenty. Took it into Eb and they gave me a new one out of the box.

hey, ive bought 2 copies of Gta from www.playasia.com $80 dollars each game delivered by Fedex r18 version. pretty cool save $40 buks on each game. will be buying my games from Over there now you get ripped here its rubbish

[Venomous]

Even if you bought your 360 ages ago, the red ring of death is still covered.
They extended it to 3 years warranty just for the ring of death

Yeh I'll be doing that from now on since PS3 games are region-free now.

Region coding still escapes me. Just about any TV you could buy in the last few years handle both NTSC and PAL. It must cost a bundle for those putting out games/movies having to region code them instead of just manufacturing one version!

[XA Coupsta]

Big W is your friend.........

$84

[Nappa]

i've had a copy put aside for me at JB $84, heaps cheaper then EB.

I've suffered Red rings twice on my xbox, wasnt very happy but they fix it easy enough. It goes away for a week, comes back fixed for free.

restart in safe mode? :P

[DBourne]

paid $90 for my preorder, now just 19hrs or so to go

[Oo_xrsx_oO]

So the M17+ version from playasia.com is the unedited version? Can't believe how much cheaper these work out.

[Green_Reaper]

I found this article about things that are rumoured to be cut but are actually still in the Aussie version of the game, clears thing up a little bit but still doesn't say exactly what was cut.

[BA GT-HO]

GOOD LORD..

I need that game. I just watched a review on IGN..

[Sloth]

Hey Green Reaper, thanks for the link and welcome. Interesting that those parts are still in the game, as we all suspected those parts would be cut. If it's true, it's good that it hasn't been changed too much, from that it sounds like just that cut scene was taken out.
