Freezing issue:

1. Try deleting your save game/user data for GTA
2. Try disconnecting from PSN (thanks BHS_Lineman)

I just wanted address a few FAQs about the stickied / official thread here:

Q: Why do we have to post here? This is the PS3 forum!

A: Correct, but in the past when a high profile game comes out the platform forums will often be overwhelmed by numerous threads on the same topic.When that happens the forum essentially becomes about that game only leaving topics about the system the and other games to die.Accordingly we make an official thread and ask you post in that thread only for the time being to accommodate all the other topics that fall under this forum.Not that you CAN make new topics about this game, just not in this forum.Keep reading.

Q: I really want to make a new thread about GTA IV!

A: You're in luck.There is a GTA IV forum where you can make topics about this game!

Q: This sucks!

A: We agree, but so does killing all of the conversation about a specific platform.This is hardly an ideal solution but it is the best we've got for now.Once we decide the GTA IV storm has likely passed we'll take down the stickied thread and people can make new threads about the game again.

First post in this soon-to-be-huge thread :D

A perfect score after a long time. This game is a must have

Now the only question for me is which version do I buy. PS3 or 360...........oh I can't decide.

"edit" I thought I was writing this in general games. If you still want to reply, i'll still listen.

the first 10 since THPS3 i think, if any game were to deserve it, its this. i can't wait to pick up my copy tomorrow.

Anyone else gonna try and complete the story in 1 sitting?

Where I live, the regular edition is 85$.

So far I am not liking this game at all. But hey I have only been playing it for about 2 hours and btw the multiplayer sucks. Well I only played deathmatch and it has to be one of the worst death matches in a game I hve ever played. Also why is everyone so mean in Liberty City? Hopefully my judgement will change after playing it somemore tomorrow.

for americanhellyeah

oh, didn't see that. thanx.

@Matrix0111

if your brother also has a copy try both of them in his PS3 (unless you bought 2 copies to play in the same PS3 O_O), if they both work then sadly your PS3 is broken, and you should call Sony immediatley.

No problem homie.

Yeah, hopefully your PS3 isn't messed up that would be something since a HUGE game just came out.
