haha nice try but im not gonna get caught up with your fanboy arguments.
keep them to yourself.
if you would read my comment as a hole and stop picking things out that suit you ideals, i said it Quote:
could very well be trash code on Rockstar's end
i bolded it so that you could read it better.
i don't believe its one sided however, as lack of communication beetween rockstar and Sony may have led to an unpolished product.

1.Before you call someone a Fan boy read AD rules because comments like that you wont be around here much longer my friend.There is zero tolerance on this fan boy crap.
6. No foul language, insults, personal attacks or otherwise rude messages.

Please read your post or beware of the things you say because in one post you clearly said.
I'm no expert but i don't think its the games fault, as my friends ps3 plays it just fine.
2.As i and other members here have try to explain to you that how irony that the game crash on both systems not just PS3.So what does that tell you if Sony or Microsoft hasn't had any issue with software crashing.I'm sorry your having these issues & i hope you get it fixed but please read posts clearly before you accuse someone of being a Fan boy which i find highly childish thing to say.

well, i see many people saying that is the publisher's fault, but even if it has anything to do with some speciffic revision of the console having the probs, it sounds like its sony's problem, just because the consoles where never ment to be like they're now, how many nes revisions and firmware where there? on snes? on ps1 on N64, Ps2 GC or Xbox?, as compared to PS3 or Xbx360??? its just ridiculous its obvious publishers wont be able to keep it up

I think the firmware on the NES, SNES, N64, PS2, and GC was pretty static to say the least. The current gen of consoles offers much more in the way of capabilities, and I think it was smart to add firmware upating capabilities to the consoles as their potential can be increased. I don't think this is a firmware issue however.
I'm wondering what the process is exactly, that the developers go through to make sure that this game runs smoothly on both consoles. Take two originally cited the release of Halo 3 as the main reason they didn't want to release the game in the fall. Then later changed their story to having "technical challenges" with the PS3. I don't doubt either story is at least partially true, as Halo was HUGE, and publishers have been focusing primarilly on the 360 DK since they started making this game as that system was out first.
I just want to know who it was that said "The game checks out" and then sent it off to be published.
BUT, if for some reason it IS a firmware issue that is messing up the game, then both companies have an option to update the firmware and solve the problem. That is the beauty of having an updateable firmware to me.

I've been reading post from this site since 2003 and i think its a great site. I almost never post that's why its says newbie. But why the problem with personal attacks i mean sometimes you have to and its not that bad. As long as people don't go to overboard i think it should be ok. I think it's just everyone in this age is trying to be politically correct hey we are animals too by being civil we are going against our instincts. I know I'm way off topic but I've always wanted to say that. Love afterdawn by the way. It has tought me many things that i've memorised and used for my own entertainment.

Grand Theft Auto IV patch finally here
Quote:
Well, finally. We were hoping this would come sooner, but better late than never, no? The widely reported problems of "freezes during certain modes" and "multiplayer connectivity issues" finally have a remedy - a patch has just been released by Rockstar for Grand Theft Auto IV. An apology was also included in the patch notes, along with details of each problem resolved.

Just like i said this was a R* issue not Sony.They owe Sony a major apology for throwing them under the Bus because R* last firmware didn't solve the issue & they past blame on Sony.

I do like the idea of throwing $ony under a bus.. I can see Ken bouncing under the wheels as I type.. heheheheh..
But seriously.. This is a strange affair. M$ started all this firmware/dash/other junk updates to your hardware installed from games, and now sony have followed. I don't see the point unless it is to try and keep one step in front of the game copiers out there. While it adds no consumer visible benefit it does run the risk of a patch rendering all your previously bought and paid for games unplayable until another rushed patch is found..
Come back the days when you bought your console and your games and gave it no more thought. I think these corporations have got too clever for their own good.

Ahhh, good ole SoNy....the PS3 has been a bit of a riot since release. I used to be a SoNy fan but now i stick to Xbox360 for my online gaming. No need to install anything from disc to it, no messing about just sling the disc in and play. The amount of people that slagged me off when i got a 360 was unbelievable, now the same people are gutted that they wasted their hard earned cash on the PS3 instead of buying a 360. Most of them have sold their PS3's(for quite a loss too) and have now purchased a decent console ie the 360. Fair dos, the 360 does have problems of its own, mainly the 'three red lights of death' but at least they offer a 3 year warranty, no quibbles repair or swap for a new base unit.
As far as i can see xbox360 has given the PS3 a right good butt-kicking, i for one will not be purchasing the ugly decrepit PS3.
