Can't decide if I should skip this and wait for next-gen. Unstable frame rates are my #1 pet peeve in gaming =/
Three more hours to go, and my work productivity is almost negative already.
My problem right now. Just waiting... Need to get home.

That was my problem - got used to it though.
It took me 33 hours to complete all story missions and nearly all side missions. I didn't waste time on side activities.

Does anyone know where to get a scuba diving suit from?

You guys are not alone...
It legitimately amazed me. They took the mechanic wholesale from GTA IV, where it also didn't work, but added lock on. But the 'spray and pray' drive-by aspect of shooting from a car is lost with lock-on, and hitting a target is very difficult without it.
When the game actually expects you to shoot from a car while driving it, sometimes with expected accuracy, I was honestly surprised. The game mechanic isn't good enough to sustain gameplay.
I'm kinda bummed at how this game runs. Between the pretty damn average framerate, enough jaggies to cut your eyes out, lots of pop-ins, and a lot of muddy textures. Some parts look fantastic but then things start to chug and it's a bit rough. Not that I won't play the hell out of it but coming from almost entirely PC gaming the last year to this, it's VERY noticeable.
If you buy docks on the north end of the map you'll unlock side mission for Michael where you need to collect stuff by doing scuba diving. Other than that i haven't found a way to use scuba suit yet.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Good luck man!Leaving from work! Going to the store! Wish me luck guys!hope its not out of stock
Went to a 24h Wal-Mart about 4:30 this morning, after work. Some other guy was there looking for it too. He gave up and I was not far behind him, but he stopped and asked a worker who pointed out that they were at a register up front, and not in electronics. We both headed over and got our games. No idea what the chance is he's a gaffer but if you read this, thanks for asking, dude. I wasn't going to!
My first day one retail purchase in maybe 6-7 years? Hope it's good

The game is a phenomenal achievement considering it is running on hardware which was sourced in early 2005. To those complaining about the framerate, I've rarely spotted mine dip below anything noticeable. Yes, it's not 60 FPS, but considering the hardware, you can make a trade off, would you want the incredible draw distance and sense of scale, or a lock on 60 FPS and a much more geographically contained experience?
Same here. (EU PS3)

I keep seeing comments like this and I have to wonder, what did you expect? These consoles are seven years old. It is downright ridiculous to expect a game of this scope to produce IQ/Textures/Frame-rate that are anywhere near your expectations. Personally, from the videos and screenshots that I have seen I'm shocked it looks/runs as good as it does.
I would be shocked if Sony issued a refund. Your best course of action if you are truly dissatisfied with the purchase is to take it up with your credit card company.
lol you believed rockstars lies

Can anyone confirm if the game has XMB (for PS3 users) custom soundtrack, and if so, are there any kind of limitations/restrictions?
Asks a user with a DRIVER avatar.
I've read somewhere that there's a radio station for your custom soundtrack.
For those of you who's blimp code isn't working - I read online on the plpaystation forum someone who got through to customer service and replied via email:
''Firstly, do check that your disc, console, and PSN account are all from the same region. Also, the codes may not work immediately at release. Assuming that there's no region issue, please wait until after 7:00pm EST and see if the code works then''. EDT - 8pm. GMT(UK) - MIDNIGHT. Hope this helps.

I agree, the game looks absolutely mind boggling for 7 year old hardware. I don't understand why people bitch about it. If you don't like framerate so much, why do you own a console at all?

Did anyone's else car vanish after they put it in Franklin's garage after the first mission? Where can I retrieve it?
Also I'm playing the PSN version and I am not noticing any horrible pop in. Pretty much the normal pop in you can expect from a game like this on current gen. The pop in isn't bad at all.

Buy it, send back Amazon (say it arrived late).

I give the Installation disk 10/10. Great controls, beautiful imagery.

What's wrong with controls? The controls are fine, the game plays not much different from RDR.

My blimp code worked (UK), how are you guys doing it, through the store on the PS3?
You get houses by doing story, but other than that I don't think so. At least in my 35 hours i never encountered a house to buy.

Just woke up, game took a grand total of 3.5ish hours to DL on PSN and I'm installing now. Good thing I took my vacation this week...
Honestly, the PSN purchase wasn't that bad when you consider the chaos that was the midnight release in my town. Made local news and shit, yo.

My feelings exactly, will definitely pick up another copy for next gen consoles or pc because of this.
First impressions:
-IQ is absolutely dreadful.
-Driving is really enjoyable. So glad they ditched the more realistic driving mechanics of GTAIV. Maneuvering through traffic is actually fun again.
-Character switching is now essential for all GTA games moving forward. Love it.
-They recaptured LA to a tee. The highways, the neighborhoods, the buildings, the atmosphere, just about everything. Well, maybe not the traffic.
-Cinematic camera angles during chases. A nice damn touch.

Did u compare it with the ps3 physical or anything? or the streams?
I think it looks a lot shitter in-game than any of the screenshots. I didn't expect wonders but damn, when a game like Sleeping Dogs has been out for ages and then you look at this. It's rough.

I haven't checked it out but there are real estate websites that show property to purchase, I think. Not sure though,

+1 to this.
Get a big flash drive and install the other disc on that. S'what I'm gonna do... as soon as said flash drive turns up.
I installed mine onto a 32GB 3.0 flash driver and it's running buttery smooth. They're so cheap now there's no reason not to.
For anyone interested in this route, I highly recommend one of these:
