About Me

Well, I'm just your normal 16 year kid that's in high school, and happens to be a webmaster and blogger. I blog about everything that I like. I have a personal blog, gaming blogs, and some other different technology blogs. I make websites for people as a freelance job, to help make money for my future college entrance, but until then, I'll just do it freelance, and not as a complete 24/7 job.

Well, I guess I'll talk about my interests. Well, I like skateboarding, and am an amateur snowboarder, and like to hang out with friends whenever I get the chance to. I own a Nintendo DS, a GameCube, a Wii, NES, SNES, N64, GBA, PS2, and PS1. I love RPG's and platformers, and am a huge Nintendo fan (hence the Nintendo site that I run).

Would You Buy a PS3 or 360 for GTA IV?
PaperBowser0 \| 3:49 PM on 05.01.2008	14 comments

Okay, I've yet to actually play GTA IV, but I had a couple of friends and people that I knew said that they were going to buy either a PS3 or an Xbox 360 JUST for Grand Theft Auto IV. Is it really worth it seeing how much you'd spend on the whole console and then just one game? I definitely know I wouldn't if it was just GTA IV. I guess with how good the actual game is suppose to be, and the good graphics and length of the game, it would probably be worth it, but it's just a lot for the average person or student to spend. Would you guys pay for a PS3 or Xbox 360 just to get GTA IV?

At this point, only considering games... I'd buy the 360 for it. With LIVE, Gears 2 (and the original Gears), CoD4, Halo 3, Crackdown (it's totally still worth playing)... there are just a ton of great games out for it.

This coming from a person who originally bought the system solely for Oblivion and has yet to be disappointed in his purchase.

I would. This game is worth it. Get a 360 if you make the plunge.

I'd recommend the PS Triple meself.

But that's not the question.

The question is: Is this game worth the investment of a machine?

The answer is a resounding affirmative.

I can wait until one of my friends leaves his 360 or PS3 over at my place, like he did with his (now my) PS2. I got to catch up on a bunch of awesome games, for little to no cost.

I AM buying a 360 just for GTAIV hahaha.
Of course I'm going to get other games down the line, but most of all I'm buying it just so I can play GTAIV

weirdfunk

Get the PS3 GTA IV pack...it comes with a DS3 controller and GTA IV i believe and im pretty sure it costs the same as just buying a PS3.
Sweet deal brotha, sweet deal

I'd buy it for the superior machine but I wont tell you which one. I would hate to be labeled a fanboy by telling you to get it either for the PS3 or the XBOX 360.

Nor will I resort to subliminal messages either.

Though its a good enough game to ease the decision to by one of the new systems you really need to look at what other games you want to play that are out or will be out in the near future. If you can see more on one system than the other go that way. Now also take into consideration your friends preferences too so you can play together online.

@B-Radicate

I totally bought my 360 for Oblivion too! amazing game, like a lot of the 360's catalog.

I would NEVER buy any system for just one game. No game is worth hundreds of dollars, period. If you're gonna get a new system, make sure you get the one you want to play the most games for, not just one title that's on both consoles you're considering.

However, if I were to get a new console just for this one game, I'd go with the PS3. It's the console with the superior version of GTA IV, even if the technical superiority is only by a little bit.

Two friends of mine already bought an Arcade 360 for GTA IV (they don't know what DLC means and are poor). For reference: an Arcade is 200 euro + 50-55 for the game, while the cheapest GTA IV PS3 pack is 399 including that driving game demo/rust simulator.

I was almost tempted by the PS3 offer, but it doesn't have a dualshock. Sixaxis and GTA IV driving would drive me insane (no pun intended). Now, if the PS3 had a dualshock and was available for like 350, I probably would've gone for it :)

Loki Power

No I wouldn't.

@pedrovay2003: yeah, I'd have to say that I pretty much agree with you, but I'm sure that if people had the money that they would do it and not really care.
