Well, for some people anyway. Most of us don't have the money to rush out and buy the possibly most expensive game released ever.

I'll wait till it goes on special, or the price isn't in triple digits.

Yeah some of the prices are a bit insane. Thankfully I was able to preorder it for a price just under triple digits (although if I had been on the ball, and preordered it from the same place about a month or so earlier than I did, I would've saved another like $10).

I still need a console to play it on first  don't think the prices for GTAIV are going crazy in the UK, £40 on Amazon for example which is normal. Or from GAME, for a measly £320 you can get a PS3 and GTAIV combo deal (it's the 40GB PS3).

I'm looking for similar package deals except for a 360 - I may just yell 'fuck it' and buy a 360 normally during the week.

On IGN insider they do comparisons between two versions of a game, and pick a winner, heres the key notes.

Basically the game runs great on both systems, ps3 has the edge.

PS3:
Slightly Better Anti-Aliasing
Slightly Better Performance
^ both due to the 3.4 gig install
More sensitive to find the sweet spot for free aim
Motion Control: works for helicopters, not so much for bikes.

360:
Sharper color

Verdict:
Get what ever version your friends are getting, because the MP with them outweighs any of the differences.

I'm pretty sure (unless I imagined it  ) I've seen a package advertised which has a 360 and bundled Halo 3 and GTAIV with it. Seems like a pretty darn good package to me, except for the fact that its the Arcade version of the console.

Pfft, multiplayer. I've got SAMP. Sure it'll be awesome, but it's not a necessity.

I have seen that as well, but only at JB HIFI and I am pretty sure that store is confined to the land down under  Also, I have seen the option with that package for Elite or Arcade versions of the console, which is pretty cool

Yah, I got no idea what store that is

Most common video game stores in UK are GAME, there also used to be EB (Electronic Botique) but GAME bought them and owned their arses. There's smaller-name places like G-Force (where I live anyways), Gamestation as well. There's electronics shops that also do package deals as well probably like Dixons, Comet, PC World and various other places. There is no information yet anywhere else for these UK stores for package deals combining GTAIV and a console except from GAME and the PS3 combo I mentioned earlier.

Truth be told I'd be happy to get a 360, try and get hooked up with the net play, get my hands on GTAIV and kill every motherfucking one of you while pretending you are all Daffy in disguise  I have a feeling MOST GTAS folk who get GTAIV will have a 360 (some may have both but I feel the ratio is more in favour of 360). Some of you know how much thought I've put into whether to go for a PS3 or a 360 but Microsoft wins (hate saying that).
