I mean, I played a bulk of GTA's on the Playstation, but I got GTA IV on the 360 and was happy with that. This time I'm around I'm not sure what to do, but I kind of want the special edition so I kind of want to preorder it while the gettin' is hot. And then there's a friend of mine who wants to hold out for PC because of that mod thing they have to enhance the graphics.

So I'm not sure what to do (didn't want to put this in the system wars area because I wanted to have a reasonable discussion about it).

a pc version probably isn't going to be out for over a year as the pc hasn't gotten a port of red dead redemption yet

Looks like the console versions will be a slideshow.

I'd hold out a few months and see if we have any prospects for a PC version.

I might buckle and get it for PS3 if we don't have a PC version in a few months, but Rockstar games are so impressive with their technology that I want to wait and see if I can run it on something a bit stronger than a toaster.

Red Dead Redemption has nothing to do with Grand Theft Auto over a year is a huge stretch. Be realistic

Hmmm, maybe best to not make this "conoles vs. PC", ok? But, I guess waiting on the PC seems bit pointless to me, cool mod or no.

But yeah, as far as whether to get it for PS3 or 360...still kind of stumped :/ .

They have not given any indication that one version will be different than the other, just get it on the system you play most or will be able to play online with people you know.

I got the PS3 bundle. I didn't have a PS3 prior to it (or a 360 for that matter), so I decided to go for the bundle. I'll get it on my gaming PC after the 5-7 months Rockstar usually waits to release it on the platform. Can't wait for it though, this game's going to be sweet.

Rockstar has a history of waiting a freakishly long time before releasing their games on the pc and in red dead redemption case not at all i think i am being realistic that its "probably" is going to be over a year

I'm getting it for the PS3, because my 360 is literally almost as loud as a hair dryer when I play a game.

Both versions, I'm sure, will be practically identical.  Get the version who's system you're most comfortable with.   I personally will be getting it on PS3 since my LIVE subscription ended, and all my friends are on PSN anyway.

Do you have a subscription to Xbox Gold? If not the choice should be simple. If yes, then choose your favorite controller.

That sig is awesome :lol:. I think GTA online sounds cool, so if you have friends on one system I would def go for that. If it's just for SP I guess X360 will be slightly better based on (as far as I understand) GTA4 and RDR were better on X360. Personally I will wait for the PC version, because I allready have more games to play than time to complete them.

The 360 version... then join my crew: http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/crew/green_lantern_corps

;-)

But honestly... the one with your friends on it... if you're going to play online.

would it still be possible to pre-order at this stage? anywho if you dont plan to get it day one then wait for reviews and technical analysis of each version just to make sure one of them isnt a broken mess (fingers crossed its not a skyrim on the PS3 repeat). if you are getting it day one and plan to pre-order then there will be an element of risk. assuming they are both fine: if online is a big deal for you then go with the one your mates are going with. if online is not a big deal then check if any version has extra exclusive content.

Locus, dont tell me you're holding out for starcraft2 on console because blizzard released diablo games on consoles aswell.
