- blackhole82, on 05/09/2008, -8/+44I don't understand all the bashing of the PSN. I've played on both it and live, and I find plenty of people to play COD4 with. No connection problems either.
- Zamfir, on 05/09/2008, -8/+42Ssssh! Don't try to reason with the Sony hate-train! Instead, you should blindly accept as fact, the opinions from those who don't even own a PS3 over your own personal experiences. CHOOO! CHOOO! CHUG-A-LUG!
- selfdisplaced, on 05/09/2008, -17/+47You people complaining about Sony's online experience are stupid. First off it's free, secondly I feel a whole lot better about this issue when I'M NOT PAYING FOR IT (see; xbox live)
And I have yet to even try to go an play the multi-player, I've been to busy with the rest of the game. - selfdisplaced, on 05/09/2008, -4/+31now people who bought a PS3 are poor, before we were rich. wow, how time has changed.
- go123, on 05/09/2008, -5/+30Although early reports suggest that some people are still experiencing the freeze issue on 60Gb machines.
I can report from my personal perspective though that the game hasn't locked up once since getting it, and that is on a 60Gb UK launch-day version of the PS3. - punkcat, on 05/09/2008, -3/+27***** you, sloppy joes are freaking awesome.
- datdamonfoo, on 05/09/2008, -2/+25*whose (not who is)
- haxr, on 05/09/2008, -5/+26Thanks, Rockstar!
For all the ***** they take for being soulless animals, they're actually pretty nice for a gaming company :D - inactive, on 05/09/2008, -4/+25That's what you get for free? Like the christmas outage?
- NipGrip, on 05/09/2008, -12/+30ATTN Truspector:
This is your parents speaking to you. Please, for the love of GOD get a life and stop trolling PS3 news on the internet. You are a 27 year old man for christ sakes, move out of our house and let's get on with that thing called life. There is more to it than this.
You're welcome. - shinythingy, on 05/09/2008, -3/+20Your analogies suck
- inactive, on 05/09/2008, -2/+19Same to you
- Cogboy, on 05/09/2008, -4/+20If you had one you would know that there is nothing wrong with the network.
- Kmap, on 05/09/2008, -3/+14Truspector do you do anything but bash PS3 owners? And yes I agree with shinythiny, your analogies do suck!
- Kmap, on 05/09/2008, -3/+14Dugg. Truspector really is an *****. Google his name, he's even on PSN forums.
- cyrix, on 05/09/2008, -0/+10Funny you say above that you're a previous PS3 owner yet somehow you "still cannot play it." If you're a previous PS3 owner how can you still not play something if you don't have the hardware necessary to play it? Are you just staring at your PS3 copy of GTAIV screaming at it to work?
- shinythingy, on 05/09/2008, -14/+23Christmas blackout?
- ilukedukei, on 05/09/2008, -11/+20I got my xbox for christmas and only used my 1 month trial. Out of my ~30 days there was about 7 days that i could play online. At least I downloaded that stupid game for free though. I here that xbox live is better now, but I'm not going to try that again.
- paulsmith288, on 05/09/2008, -5/+14He really hates the ps3. Do you think he had a bad dream about it raping him or something?
- selfdisplaced, on 05/09/2008, -4/+12come on 5 years is a generous estimate for the life of a xbox 360.
- cyrix, on 05/09/2008, -1/+9If you have a PS3 why did you say earlier that you're a former PS3 owner? You keep switching this around. "I have a PS3." "I don't have a PS3." "I like muffins and hate PS3."
- lartones, on 05/09/2008, -9/+16*you're (you are)
What about the some of us who's online rank doesn't save? Where's that fix? I've been stuck at $4561 dollars since the 1st! - grumbel, on 05/09/2008, -2/+9$4 * 12 month * 5 years ~ $240, isn't all that cheap anymore when you sum it up over the life time of the console. I for one do care if my console cost $260 or $500, thanks do online subscription fees.
- xino, on 05/09/2008, -3/+9Poor ventilation is probably what caused your PS3 to overheat. A game locking up could be a result of overheating, but not the other way around.
- KMartSheriff, on 05/09/2008, -2/+8While I agree with you, I still feel a bit cheated by game companies for even having to bother with patches on consoles in the first place.
- staticneuron, on 05/09/2008, -3/+9"The recent patch released for PS3 has 'fixed' the stutter and lock-up issues, it was linked with the GameSpy servers and the immense load they experienced"
Gamespy servers /= PSN.
Are there really that many PS3 owners that are ignorant or are there really that many 360 fanboys trying to bash the playstation 3? - adventchild08, on 05/09/2008, -0/+6It is for some people...myself included...I still lock up during the intro sequence.
- kingmanic, on 05/09/2008, -1/+7'Thirded
Thanks,
Previous PS3 Owner' - ilukedukei (earlier in another thread)
You claim to have played PS3 GTA VI, claimed to have got rid of it, and in this thread claimed to currently have one. Either there is a really odd circumstance where had a PS3, bought GTA VI last week then sold all of it then bought it back or you are a liar. I think it seems more likely you are a liar. - dogbomb, on 05/09/2008, -4/+10*****!
Thanks,
Xbox360 Owner - Darren05, on 05/09/2008, -3/+9When you think of the technical logistics involved it is quite a minor bug and quickly fixed so thanks.
- GeekyGerge, on 05/09/2008, -3/+8It's quite obvious that you're the one without grammar skills.
- danjal, on 05/09/2008, -2/+7i havn't played it online yet.. having too much fun so far with the single player i keep forgetting
- sijimbo, on 05/09/2008, -3/+8I put off buying either the Xbox or PS3 after seeing early signs of bugs. GTA IV was the definitive factor that make me decide to purchase one of these consoles. I have friends that have both consoles that gave me their perspective of both systems. PS3 is a powerhouse that did start with some glitches and issues, but many of those have been ironed out or are being ironed out. Xbox is also a great gaming system.........when it is not giving you the red ring of death. I have yet to come across anybody whose Xbox 360 has NOT had this fault. I recently purchased the 40GB PS3, updated the firmware, and put a 320GB hard drive. So far I'm loving it.
- daizaru, on 05/09/2008, -2/+7GTA4 is the first game I have had issues with and it's not really a fault of the PS3 but the way they designed GTA4.
- logan074, on 05/09/2008, -3/+8To each his own though. I owned both systems and ended up selling my 360 after the fourth red ring.
- sanosuke001, on 05/09/2008, -1/+5I have the ps2-compatible 60gb version and I got my first hang after the update.
- brianara3, on 05/09/2008, -3/+7Yeah... I would have to say that for the millions of people that got online after the gta release this isn't bad for a free service.
- xino, on 05/09/2008, -1/+5Halo 2 had a patch out the first day, but this is pretty fast too.
- alekkss, on 05/09/2008, -2/+6The storyline is simply amazing. I nearly forget to sleep every night
- Shroom08, on 05/09/2008, -1/+5..and when are they planning on fixing the rank problem? Tired of getting up to rank 3 and having it reset after I turn off my ps3.
- benguild, on 05/09/2008, -0/+4I don't think they want to see your spam. You can keep it.
- actionscripted, on 05/09/2008, -2/+5There is a hate-train, and it seems that most of the passengers (as mentioned above) don't even own a PS3.
- blackhole82, on 05/09/2008, -1/+4If you're a potential PS3 owner, how do you claim to know anything about the network?
- daizaru, on 05/09/2008, -1/+4I'm glad they are at least adding some patches. It was ridiculous that the single player game would fail to load or freeze solely because it kept querying the gamespy servers every 2 minutes. Pretty big blunder and their proposed fix beforehand involved deleting your save games when all you had to do was log out of PSN.
This game has been good cannon fodder for the xbox fanboys, I guess that Zero Punctuation Episode really didn't "learn them any". "That Yahtzee is funny, making fun of rampant fanboyism... what a bunch of losers... oh look a link about PS3... PS3 SUX!!!!" - staticneuron, on 05/09/2008, -2/+5What he is trying to say is that people who do not have a connection problem means there isn't one on the PSN. IT might be a provider issue, home network issue, or game server issue but it cannot be PSN as a whole if everyone isn't having the same issues.
- hollismb, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3What happens in this "safe overscan"?
Most displays, especially CRT's have a little bit of the image bleed of the screen and not displayed. It's normally around 3-5% of the height/width, so developers and tv broadcasts keep icons, logos, HUD info, displayed further inside than that percentage to mafe sure they show up. What's happening in this case, is that on some displays (mine, for example), the HUD, when in an HD resolution, expands out larger, and goes into that 3-5% of screen that it shouldn't so some people can't see their money, wanted indicator, or ends of street names... stuff like that.
I've got my overscan set to a pretty low percentage (since I calibrated my set), so I can see everything, but if it shifted over even a few pixels, it would start bleeding off the edge of the screen. - xino, on 05/09/2008, -2/+5He never said that it didn't count. I think he meant that the other people that had problems over a longer period of time count also. He does have a point. That said, I am still pretty happy with Xbox Live with the exception of that.
- ausfahrt, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2I have a 60 gb North America launch console and it's still freezing. Played for the longest i ever have but it froze on me and now has gona back to freezing within 2 minutes of starting. This has not been fixed.
- selfdisplaced, on 05/10/2008, -1/+4lol, flawless? FREE is a small price to pay for essentially the same product (minus silly achievements)
- misterdrumz, on 05/09/2008, -1/+3I have a UK 40gb (swapped out for a 320gb HDD) but I've only ever had one freeze when switching radio stations back and forth quickly. Since the patch last night I have noticed a small framerate improvement. I was on a mission where I followed a train, noticable improvement to my framrate today. Not much but heck, it's better than a kick in the pants!
