I am for sure...but I still am on the fence about which version to buy. I know the 360 is going to get DLC, but i have always played GTA on the PS controller, and I am sure the ps3 will get DLC too later....

Hadn't noticed until you mentioned it..

It is off-center , but it might be the way the video camera is mounted.

some say the reason the xbox 360 is getting the DLC is to be on par with the PS3 version.

personally, i have both systems and i love the 360 WAY more (my PS3 just collects dust), but just like oneshare325 - i am going to be keeping it classic and will be getting it on PS3 that way the controls wont feel too different

IGN has given it a 10 out of 10:

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/869/869541p1.html

Interesting quote from the review on differences between the 360 and PS3 versions:

"For those wanting to know which version looks better, the edge goes to the PS3. The textures and framerate are comparable, but the PS3 has far less pop-in. The 360 has richer colors, but the PS3 has better anti-aliasing making it look a little cleaner. Because GTA IV can preload onto the PS3 hard drive, the in-game loads are faster. Don't worry Xbox owners, the load times are rarely more than 30 seconds and don't occur very often. The slight visual edge goes to PS3, but the 360 is no slouch. Either version will do you proud."

Played it all day yesterday, the game is ridiculous. I love the new Banshee, and the "Coquette" :P Also found a lambo, but I don't recall the name The e46 in the game is probably the most well balanced car out of all i've tried so far though!

I can not wait to get this for the 360 as soon as I am finished with Finals.

If I were to get GTA IV before my exams, I wouldn't study a minute.

Anxiously waiting,

the game is awesome. the fighting is a little hard to get use to. He doesnt throw punches as quickly as in the previous games. The gameplay is amazing. The way your character moves and reacts to his surroundings is way improved and much more realistic. The way the cars handle and fishtails if you give it too much gas off the line is soo realistic. I also like if you run over people, their blood will remain on the car. Cool touch I thought. I have it for 360. Im curious to see what its like for ps3

It's pretty much the same on the PS3. The only people who seem to notice any difference are fanboys with agendas who would rather discuss the differences online than actually play the game.

I wished i could....Unfortunetly i got one of the many defective versions out on the market....It freezes after about 20-30 mins of play. I ordered it about 2 months ago and now im told i'll have to wait 1 month to get another one...Just take a guess how pissed i was when i got that news...

There is a Pagani Zonda in the game too - take it to the airport for a good run down the runway!
