What should I do?

Should I get GTA4 for the 360 or PS3?  Here's my dilemma.  I know a bunch of people on site will be playing the 360 version, a good reason to get the 360 version.  But I think the entire 2old2resist clan is also getting the game.  The kicker is I have a friend of mine that I went to high school and college with that will be getting the game for his PS3 (who is also in 2old2resist).

It really depends on how well the multiplayer on the PS3 is implemented and how long I think people will play multiplayer.  On the PS3 I don't think people will be playing it for long.  MSG is going to suck people away.  The 360 version has a chance of lasting for a couple of months.  There isn't much to pull away from it until Gears.

Here's my current line of thinking.  I will get the game for the PS3.  Once everyone has jumped ship for MSG I will trade in for the 360 version.  I know I am going to end up on the 360 version eventually if the multiplayer is decent.  Right now there isn't that many people on the site with a PS3 so you have to play with timmies sometimes.  There's only three games in the last 3 years that have forced me to play in public matches: COD4, Halo 3, and Warhawk.  Last night confirmed why I didn't like playing public COD4 matches.  We were playing domination on the Bog - we had the bad spawn (though we held B and C quite well for awhile).  Early on someone pointed there's a dude glitching the fence.

There's just as much cheating in the console world as there is in the PC world.

Duh fucking duh 360 for sure man. Play online with Live and be able to chat without any problems. If you don't buy this for the 360 I'm deleting you from the clan. LOL. J/K.

I don't know how many people are in 2old2resist, but we have about 70 people on the FoaF listing for 2old2roam for the 360 - to me that translates into never wanting for 16-player gaming online. If figure, if you're going to swap anyways, do it right the first time and build the relationships within the game from the get go. *shrugs*

do you have more friends on your 360 friends list or on your PS3... Honestly I'd go with 360 just because there is no installation crap. And more people will have that version over the PS3.

"Early on someone pointed there's a dude glitching the fence" I have never understood what gratification one gets via a cheap victory. You certainly can't feel like you earned anything by it. And afterward any trash talking is invalidated and pointless since the victory is a facade. As for which version to get, that my friend is a tough call. I personally only have a 360 for gaming anymore so I don't have to make such decisions.

buy 360, buy PS3 ;) I'm not on the MSG train, the next title to pull me away would be LBP or R2 or KZ2. I hope the MP is decent or I'll be back on the COD4 and UT3 diet.

I'm buying the 360 version - I'll play the single player and do some online. If after a couple of weeks I find that 2o2r is still playing on the PS3 and there are no problems with it then I will also pick it up for the PS3 if it is that good. RIght now Achievements, DLC, and online play that works are key for me.

I think I am going to wait until the weekend. I want to see what people think about the multiplayer. If the voice blows on the PS3 I will get the 360 version. Otherwise I will be getting the PS3 version first. Biznass, I will play UT3 anytime. It is currently my favorite game. The UT2D mod is cool but the bots suck.
