Re: Let's talk about... Grand Theft Auto 4

I know why that guy's X360 died if that screen grab is real.

He doesn't have it standing up like I do

Seriously if I get the RROD i'm SOL

I have mine flat/sideways (that;s how you're supposed to have it, better for discs and less failures).

This RROD crap is reiculous. I had mine on last night for at least 6 hours straight. I played tons of cod4, and left it on in between while doing laundry and cooking/eating - that is not rare occurance either, in fact it's regular. I leave it on sometimes when my roomate comes in and wants to stream sports from a laptop to the TV, I'll play games for hours, then just replace the disk w/ a movie.

I GUARANTEE that i could have gta4 playing for 7 hours straight with no problem whatsoever. My dumb roomate has left it on overnight on a few occassions too. It will be fine people...:wink:

I believe him, although he probably doesn't have a legal copy. It was leaked on the internet on the 24th.

Who asked you?


Anyway I got it and I will post pictures in a bit with proof .

There is no reason to come here to tell a bunch of people that you don't know, "I HAVE IT!" then disappear.

LOL, I can do that I HAVE IT, YOU CAN GET DRUNK AND SNIPE PEOPLE IN THE GAME.

See how easy that was? I could do that to a random stranger on the streets and be just like him.

Who is KDRE???? he is the one telling it how it is!!!!

Re: Let's talk about... Grand Theft Auto 4

Heh, I always thought they were supposed to be vertical. I have a system from the 2nd or 3rd batch and despite having all sorts of random weirdness, it's still chugging along. I leave it on all night sometimes because I fall asleep or forget about it, I leave it on for hours idle while I'm watching TV, and it's sitting vertically... It would seem that having the disc laying down would be better for it and would require less effort, but vertical works better with my space, and that's how I always saw them in ads. Plus, half of the vents are covered if you lay it down -- seems like that would contribute to RROD issues.

Can't wait! I sent back my last GameFly game and cleared my queue of everything but this game, so hopefully I get lucky and it's sent to me. The more likely scenario is that GameFly will just sit there for 5 days and never send me the game and I end up buying it from Best Buy instead...

Well i used to have it vertical, for a luanch system, it was sort of noisy so i got a new one after complaining. It did fall once while being vertical. I hear you about the venting, but mine's quiet and has worked perfectly since early '06 i think. It's also on a hard metal table (conducts heat), but a good deal of space around it. I had over 150 hours in oblivion, almost 7 days in cod4, 45 hours w/ mass effect, tons of time in rbsv1 (didnt keep track, same w/ gears, and countless others w/ movies, arcade, demo's etc. I don't think I'm 'one of the lucky ones' either, I just think that people who don't have problems, aren't going to be vocal like the people who feel they've been scrooged.

All my buddies that got one after me have asked which way i put it, and i always tell them to put it sideways...i only one person who's had a problem and he fixed it himself (handy), but I don't know how he has it set up. I'd easily recommend to anyone put it sidways all the time.

Re: Let's talk about... Grand Theft Auto 4

Alright guys, after 72 pages of this thread we pretty much all know this is gonna be one of the greatest games ever. So now heres the real question....


Is anybody hunting for this game or is everybody content to wait til Midnight on Monday?

I know I can't afford to take any days off work this coming week and I would love to have this game in my hands to play all this weekend. We know that pretty much every store that is going to be selling it has copies sitting in the back storeroom right now collecting dust.

So has anybody actively tried to get it anywhere? I was thinking of trying a Sears nearby me because I've gotten a couple relatively big name games from there a few days early (NCAA 08, Gears of War)

I figure it wouldn't hurt to try a few stores. At best, we score an early copy of the game, at worst, we've passed a few hours of wait time til Monday night. Who's with me?

I dont have the time to search so unless someone wants to make a couple extra bux and get me one by Saturday its a Tuesday gameday for me as there's no way I can do a midnight release thing as I work the next day.
