Driving away from the docks it froze....Then durring the the scene back at the house the picture froze for a split second like it was gonna freeze again. Since then it has been fine Hopefully I will have no more troubles, and they will fix what ever is going on is some kind of a patch?

Multiplayer servers are hopelessly clogged though.

Some players have said that they were able to fix the freezing issues by disconnecting from the PSN by disabling the wireless or just unplugging themselves from the routers. I don't know if that would work for the 360 owners. I'll give it another shot now and see.

Good to know. However like I said, that one hiccup aside its been ok...hopefully my luck continues and I dont need that trick.

The plot (the very very small bit I have seen) is entertaining. Its made me laugh out loud a few times already actually

Wait till you hear Little Jacob's friend. He's even more incomprehensible.

I turned on the subtitles after I met Jacob. I still can't understand him, but it's nice that it translates the Russian people speak from time to time.

When it comes to dealing with Jacob, I just hope that the mission objectives clear up what I need to be doing. But I love that even Niko is usually like "WTF ^^" when he's dealing with the Rastas

This game is the shets! Lmao I had my friend at my house for a little while to see if he was going to buy it. And he happens to be Jamaican, so he was translating what Jacob said. After he left I got stuck with Jacobs friend talking and I gave up. Now I just wait till I get the mission objective lol.

Oh and a couple of us stayed till like 4 in the morning playing this game on multi player.

The $50 mil is for 2 exclusive episodes, no more, no less. So no, I DONT think the PS3 will see the episodes, but obviously the PS3 will get something in the form in DLC I would think. It doesnt mean that R* cant do any other DLC, they just cant offer those episodes on PSN. Thats why I think the $50 mil is a pretty big number for two episodes, even if they are exclusive (which I believe they will be).
after re-reading this I just notice that you said PSN will likely get some DLC just not the same two stories MS gets. That sounds like it would definitely be about right.

I though you (and others) were arguing that MS bought R* out to the point that they would never release any extra PS3 content ever...

I don't think its two big a loss assuming that we do get something, and of equal caliber.

This was happening to me to ( i have the 60gig version) and the word from R* is to delete the 3gig game data and reinstall. Worked for me.

haha, so i tried going with the subtitles whilst playing some jacob missions, and while real badman is hard enough listening to, its just as hard to read because the text goes by so fast i barely caught/read anything of what they were saying...

Yeah, subtitles don't help much as they move fast and one is usually trying to drive while Jacob's talking.

Also, the subtitles are spelled phonetically, so not only are they talking fast and the text is going fast, but you have to pause for a minute to look at a few words to figure out what he is saying though. I LOVE the voice acting in this game though, it's seriously some of the best VA I've heard in a video game.
