i havent really done much on the mp side of things as i care too much for the single player


theres this one mission where you rob a bank then make off into the streets like in Heat - fucking amazing - its around the 30% marker and its with Packie. this game is amazing. hah ive done nothing else cept play this in last 2 days.


and added you miyagiiiii.

I wont be surprised when people start reenacting scenes from movies with this game and posting it on youtube. Theres just so much you can do in the game.

in that mission you go around the streets with ski masks on with duffel bags full of cash from the bank running along the streets and alleys with m16s, they could sue lol

found a copy - BOUGHT'D, now whilst juggling uni work I hope to get a few hours in, see you online elstat, mind you i'm shit, still learning controls but i'll be fine in no time

anyays my live shit is sPhYaRwOn

just been playing until 6am with miyagi.

tried to jump out of heli onto the cup of the statue of liberty

i tryed to do the same thing, someone said theres an easter egg there

well if you land on the feet part of it where the balcony is you can go inside and see a beating heart

I've been trying to get this game all week, its sold out EVERYWHERE!! A few of my mates pre-ordered it, so i've been able to play it - its a cracking game!

Eggsbawks!!!!!

Dudes, this is fucking shit man.....

I restarted my console to load a new game of GTA4, it got to the loading screen with all the pictures on it and I heard a scratching noise so I immediately ejected the disk......

I noticed the console had scratched the disc in a perfect semi-circle......WTF

I hadn't moved the console at all and it had been sitting horizontally, NOT vertically. This is fucked up, I haven't turned it back on since and I'm going to ring Microsoft now

Rockstar say I have to pay £25 to get the disk replaced! will microsoft be able to pay that? can I force them to? I basically have to send my 360 back to get repaired, only had it for 3 days too, fuck this shit

Ps3?

sorry to hear that dude. must of gotten an old model as they were prone to that whilst being upright.

microsoft might take a while but seeing as though you bought the 360 only a week ago take it back to the seller as they might do a direct swap.

Polish the scratch with some toothpaste. If it's a deep scratch see if there are any places where you live (try Blockbusters) that will resurface the disk.


ps: PS3

Toothpaste doesn't do shit. Use Brasso.

Put a little bit on a cloth and wipe it in circles around the disc. It will cost you two bucks and Wal-mart.

Colgate.

The date of the model was 2008-03-10 so its a brand new version of the console.

This is my choice, please help me decide:

I can keep the disk and the console and -

• Can get the disk 'Skimmed' for £1.50 from where I bought it from (takes a few days)

• Can use toothpaste/brasso method for now

or

• Send the console back to Microsoft to get repaired and hopefully get Microsoft to pay for the scratched GTA4 disk too (will all take about 3 weeks)
  

Can't decide, because what if it scratches disks again.....:(

the disc skimmers dont repair the 360 discs well enough as when we did them when i worked in gamestation it didnt make much difference as most the rings on the discs went into the data layer.

get the console repaired because if its done it once then it will do it again

What brand of toothpaste are you using these days elstatec?

oragel

sensodyne.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice! Lately I've been thinking about snapping up a 360, but it's shit like 'The Miyagi Catastrophe' that puts me off splashing the cash.

that sucks man...Ive honestly never had a problem with any f the consoles ive ever purchased.

:mad: thats offensive

yea id say if it werent for that problem the playstation 3 would be dead and buried by now.

the newer consoles are less likely to ring of death, and to avoid the ring scratch just play the 360 flat and your sorted. now get a 360 now so i can fellate you in a helicopter in gta.

I had the ring of death on mine - sent it off to Microsoft and it was returned in just over a week - definately worth sending off, as it is likely to happen again if its done it once before!

ok guyz, had the disk skimmed on the highest setting for like £3 (still has a small scratch but the guy at the game shop said I could get it redone for free if it doesn't work)

so the game seems to work fine now. My plan is to keep using the console until it fucks up again, when it does I'll send it away to be repaired

well if you lay the 360 flat it wont do it again

its on a flat wooden box now, get online my son!

sorry son, wont be on live for next few days as we are getting new windows fitted and i cant run my 50 metre ethernet cable through the outside of my room to the router downstairs anymore so had to shift out £50 for one of the wireless adapters onlineeee



just finished the main story now :( loved it but just didnt want it to end, feel way upset that this big huge moment ive waited for has gone. simply amazing game.

i'm going to assume you played the game for 7 days straight, as I don't have the game and am hoping it isn't that short. It took me 6 months to finish GTA: SA with about 4-5 hours a week (and about 2-3 of those hours were fucking around). Is it about the same length wise as GTA:SA... or shorter/longer?

well its chocked up 38 hours playing time and main story done, with only 59% of total game complete

Im at about 23 hours, and ive done a lot of fucking around, not doing the missions, and im just over 30% done.

Not bought it yet. Had a loan of it for a few days and really got into the story. Last lot of gta games i usually go mad flying around in cars then get bored, This ones got me hooked though. Just need to see if GAME get any in stock tomorrow.


Funny how the "superior" ps3 version is pretty easy to get while the 360 version is as rare as mammoth shit. Tried 3 stores today and no luck =/

Amazon has it in stock.
