I see you haven't found any reliable source to back up your claim.

*Sigh*:rolleyes:

And click on your "review" again.
It's been updated.

That review should be taken with a pinch of salt. It has already been confirmed that the PS3 version has a 5 minute mandatory install. There are only 2 reviews you can trust atm, the OXM and PSM reviews.

I haven't heard anything about an optional install for the 360 (I couldn't be arsed to click on the link above), although none of the fansites or previews that I have read have mentioned it. Alot of people want it of course, and they would be stupid not to include it.

Back on topic. Popped into my most loathed game retailer. Gamestop, and enquired about GTAIV. Little EMO kid in there demanded a fiver for a preorder, then told me there's no guarantee I'll get it on launch. Told him where to go.
What surprised me, however, is that he told me it'll only cost 64euro, a bargain for Gamestop. Was expecting the full 75 euro from those carcass picking b*stards.

Very tempting alright, for ppl who dont currently have a next gen consiole.All they need is an arcade xbox for 200, a copy of the game for about 50 and a 10e hdmi lead anthere playing gta4 i HD.Good overall value, it must be said

TBH, i take back this post so i'm gonna break it down.I'm gonna compare the pro 360 with the ps3 btw, i think the pro is the 40gb-ps3's true rival version

Xbox 360
Pro console- 270e
Game- 60e
Play n charge kit- 20e
1 year gold subscription- 60
Tesco hdmi lead- 10e

This all adds up to 420e overall. Afaik there is no "all in one box" version with the console and game together

PS3
40Gb console incl gta- approx 430e http://www.game.co.uk/PS3/Hardware/HardwareBundle/~r334572/Sony-PlayStation-3-with-Grand-Theft-Auto-IV/
Tesco hdmi lead- 10e

Total 440e for ps3 (If the combo pack is available in ireland, that is).

Dont think i'm biased towards the ps3 either, i've got both consoles.I just think that microsoft agressively advertising the game with the 360 does'nt tell the entire story.What do ye think of this as a comparison????

Don't forget the wireless adaptor, that's another €80

Only with the Elite. With the Pro (or Premium), you get the composite and component cable in one. Component will allow high def TV viewing, so HD cable not absolutely necessary, but to compare like with like is probably the main aim.
