Microsoft slams GTA IV PS3 install time in PR mail

Just got this from Microsoft PR:

With the OXM review hitting streets today, and your own preview impressions which are looking great, hopefully you’ll all be a bit wiser as to the ins and outs of GTA IV now.

I’m sure you’ve all seen the chatter from the 1up GTA IV Preview on the PS3 install time….just a few thoughts on what you could do in this time if you were actually playing the 360 version from the moment you insert the disc….

· Steal your first dozen or so cars and test out the improved vehicle handling?

· Check out the cool features on your mobile phone?

· Rack up a 5 Star Wanted Rating?

· Have a blast of your first MP game on Xbox LIVE?

· Ditch the tracksuit chic and buy some new clothes?

· Unlock your first GTA IV Achievement and boost your Gamerscore?

….Or just start downloading a film from Xbox LIVE Video Store to watch later – check out the latest batch of arrivals this weekend!

    Well what if a 40GB PS3 owner has filled his/her HDD full of movies, downloads, demos, music and stuff? They’ll just have to delete some it to make room.

    Same would apply to 360 owners.

    i have a 360 i’m gettin gta4 for my 360 so i sure as hell wont buy a ps3 for gta4 its a multiplatform game not a sysem seller they both have advantages but 360 will eclipse the ps3 version in sales,content and xbox live very vital now a days when purchasing a game for a console. ps3 is lackin the bang for the buck even hideo kojima is not satisfied with the turn out of metal gear 4 wich looked better before on still CG pics and the game sucks online in the betta so who is going to sell me a ps3. no complaints when it comes to making gears of war 2 and it looks better than metal gear 4 kojima should use the unreal engine for his next game maybe he’ll cry less.so therefore i’m not lining up at gamestop for a ps3 just gta4 in its new home sorry fanboys. its all about content,exclusivity and inovation at the end of the day oh we did outsell the ps3 in march ouch. back in the game no more shortages

    Hopefully this will be the last multi-platform game that will drive adolescent kids crazy on internet forums. Personally I think GTA IV will mark the all time high in the “fanboy war”.

    XDamage: You can hope… but I seriously doubt it. =(

  5. Zumi said:

    Is this the biggest multiplatform release ever?

  6. Psychotext said:

    I can’t think of a bigger one given GTA SA was the best selling game last gen.

  7. XDamage said:

    Psychotext: Ok, it being the last game that fanboys argue about might be pushing it. ;)
    But it’s important to remember that this will probably be THE most popular multi-platform title this console generation. Next will probably be Resident Evil 5 or Fallout, but it’s general popularity doesn’t come close to that of GTA.

    I do not doubt for a second that these next few weeks will see the peak of people getting extremely angry if one disrespects the other guy’s console choice this console generation, simply because there are so many people out there now with either console. It would be completely pointless. But ofcourse, some jackasses will probably never stop trolling around. :)

    @judono
    Hold on, did you say “we”? You are not apart of Microsoft so the sale of 360’s has nothing to do with you. I know this because your grammar is so broken it’s funny. Save your criticism until you play the game. Kojima didn’t criticize the game, he said he wanted it to be bigger. If you are going to be a fanboy, more power to you, but please try to be intelligent when deciding what to say in your posts.

    As for my opinion, besides the DLC, I doubt there will be much, if any difference, in the games. I will not be buying it because my friend preordered it and I’ll just borrow it from him after he’s done with it.

    @Rhythm: What are you talking about? What is MCV?

    Hilarious. Indeed. But it is 100% true.

    @Enkeixpress
    What is 100% true? Please elaborate.

    Man, I’m sorry I missed this one!

    It really was a cracker. Best ever.

    Yeah baby yeah.
    GTA has a new home!

    “Yeah baby yeah.
    GTA has a new home!”

    LOL :D

    Oh, it’s fun.
