So anyone have a favorite bit yet? Don't give away story, just something you've seen or done that was totally bad ass. I like damaging my car to the point it's on fire a bit then I make sure to park it at a busy intersection and block the road so everyone has to stop...then i step back and watch the fireworks begin...it gets pretty epic after there's 15 or so cars on fire, smoke eveywhere, and people flailing their arms around...the best part? no wanted level stars!

Oh yes, the explosions are freakin' beautiful in this game! Just earlier I walked around throwing grenades at cars (groups of cars when possible) and watching them explode. It's also fun getting a chain going where one car explodes, which explodes the one next to it, and so on. I was also shooting people on different parts of their body to watch how they reacted differently.

There's so much random crap in this game! The mini-games for dates and "hanging out" are fun. It's also fun going to the bar I brought Michelle to a bar once, and I decided to get a taxi since she was around. For some reason, the way Niko yelled, "YELLOW CAAAARRR!!" before he fell over was just the best thing ever!

yeah getting drunk the first time and attempting to hail a cab had me laughing in tears...by myself..."AAAAAAAARRRRGGGHGHGHGH"..."TAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAXI CAAAAAAaaaaaAAAAAaaaaaaaBBBB-bbb-b-bb-b-b-b...man I'm drunk" the time he yelled out yellow car was the funniest though. I like the interaction between people once their drunk...the convos are hilarious. But watching your cousin grab someone for balance and then they shove him off so he grabs a light pole to stand himself up...technically VERY impressive

UPS delivered the game on-time last night The packaging is nicely done and I will post some pictures later. Was pretty busy last night and I only managed to play for around 10 minutes or so and wasted a grand total of 5 people thus far...

So I have a few questions for those of you already have the PS3 version.

I heard that there is this "serious" freezing problem, especially with the 60Gb model. (that's what I've got) In a way I feel slightly paranold about it, and have disabled the auto login to the PSN as per "advice" I've read. Ok, I know I am feeling paranold right now, but my question is, has it happened to anyone yet? And can you really do if or when that happen? Or is there a better way to avoid it?

I have the old 60GB PS3, and I've had absolutely no problems with freezing or even lagging.

I got the 80GB...no problems on my end...my buddy got the 360 version and his is constantly freezing up (though it may be his system...dunno yet).

If your copy freezes up: attempt to send it back to the store and get a new copy...no harm in trying that..

How to avoid this problem: Pray like hell

I think it would be more an issue with the PS3 than with the game. Getting a new copy of the exact same software probably wouldn't help. If it becomes that much of a problem, I'm sure they'll release a patch/update or something.

Yeah, totally.

I don't know why I am feeling so paranold about this freezing, but let's hope this problem won't happen to me.

So how far are you both into the game? Percentage-wise.

Also, do you use the "classic" controls or the "standard" one? I feel more comfy with the "classic" one.
