I would not have approved of that tweet.
But I still would have bought the game.
I am weak.

The one buddy who has been calling my phone off and on with the recorded Roman "Want to go bowling?" etc. phone calls stopped by earlier with a nice surprise: He pre-ordered 2 copies of GTA V, one for him, one for me. Me and the wife let him stay at our place for a month or so late last year while he was going through a divorce. He also surprised my wife with a spa day. Its nice to have great friends!
Pretty cool of him, so sadly I will not be joining the PS3 GAF age. Is there a 360 one I can sign up for?
Oh, and one other question, for those who have it on 360 that received it early. I have a 4GB slim that I put my own HD in, and flashed it w/ the 360 code. I don't see any reason why I should have issues w/ the install disc portion, but does anyone who has received the game early have the same set up w/ their 360 as I do?

Wha? How the fuck do you put your own HDD in a 360?
there wont be issues dont worry
its a ms hdd now and works exactly like that. i assume its a western digital drive ?

What's with the "junior" bullshit? It's not like he wrote it, and it's not real.
Lighten up.
Google "HDDHackr"
Amazon
I am with the guy who was offended. No reason even if it was a joke to post that word or an image with that word in it.
you only get the atomic ship on amazon
no poster
its also funny how amazon points it out as a pre order bonus considering its in every copy (first batch anyway)
Yep I find "junior" to be offensive and degrading.
I know, he asked me where I preordered from since I wanted to get the se version
I agree, but the junior part was unnecessary.
Don't ever leave your house.
Oh crap, I just realized I'm a member. It must have changed recently. Nearly two years in the trenches + nearly six months waiting for account approval... feels good
I only waited a little over a month for activation.
I feel lucky.
I don't want to go off-topic again but how do I become a member?
Off topic, but any idea if the 'Join Date' on your profile is the date you sign up, or the date you're approved?
That makes it acceptable how? There are plenty of ignorant people out there.

Be a positive contributor to the community. And wait.
what you think you pop in that ssd and it magically eliminates loading times ?
not sure what to think about your response
You need 300 posts and been on the forum for at least 3 months.
Gotta get like 500 posts I think
As long as the data is loaded on to the hard disk (not the optical drive) then putting in an SSD will decrease load times. I know this for a fact because I've had one in my PS3 for 3 or 4 months and have a basic understanding of PC parts and technology.
If it's on the HDD and the HDD is swapped for a higher performing medium, load times will reduce, period.

I have often wondered if I bought an SSD for my PS3 how much of a difference it would provide in loading if the games are digital? I mean the difference on my PC was insane!
Me, because I'm right.
They're all wrong, you have to pass the trials of ak'mon'rah and then wait for enough time to elapse after the summer blood moon
Yup. 300 posts/3 months.

It's not as significant in a PS3 - there's a lot of CPU 'decompression' at a guess, or j ust not that many games on the HDD to begin with (more coming from your optical, streaming off)
ANYTHING which copies huge amounts of data will see a benefit, it's just not a huge benefit (GT5 is definitely by far the most significant though, the game is now - by my definition, no longer "broken")
Yes.
Oh, then I didn't wait that long. I mostly lurk anyways, long time for account approval then like a yearish wait for member
your ps3 is not a pc. you cant compare these two.
you should swap your ssd with a hdd and compare the different loading times cause the difference is negligible.
it works wonders for rage or gt5 but doesnt do shit for battlefield 3 and a wide range of other games.
Well you mentioned the optical drive. I fully understand if something is on the optical drive the SSD won't matter much. But if for instance you buy stuff off PSN instead of disc I would think you would see a huge increase?

That had to be tempting.Just an FYI for stock information; was in the back-room in my Walmart today and according to the system we had a whopping 320 copies of the 360 version in store. Didn't break street date though myselfmy heart was breaking the whole time I had the thing in my hand.

Just about 48 hours until the release of Grand Theft Auto V.
Stay strong!

As long as the game has a significant portion of the content on the hard disk, load times will decrease. Period.
The difference is not as significant as a PC due to the CPU "processing" stuff and simply not needing flat out full speed constant data from the drive (and if it did, games would stutter more)
If GTA5 is loaded entirely to the disk, cutscene loading would be shorter, initial game load would be shorter and when the game does it's constant seek / seek / seek/ seek disk access (as GTA is infamous for) those seeks would take less time. (sometimes the seeks could slow down / lock up the PS2 and PS3 GTA games, moreso PS2)

I have a whopping 79 posts, well 80 now... But I've been signed up here for over six years.
Not HUGE due to the PS3 having SATA2 or SATA1 ports apparently - plus very few games rely on the HDD to provide data all the time. I would expect an SSD will not impact frame rates AT ALL (I'd be dumb to expect it would) - but I do expect cutscenes / inbetween scenes / stuff where a new scene needs to be loaded, to be far better.
If GTA5 copies the ENTIRE game to disk, I should see some pretty decent speeds.
That's actually quite impressive.
Edit: and with this post, I become a member. Ace.
