Grove street vs Ballas?
I hope his car insurance has free windscreen replacement.

Franklin is going to be my favourite I think!

I just hope there is no wheelie restriction for bikes and you can go up until you fall off the back.

12 o clock wheelies on a Sanchez are the best.

Yep, Ballas are already confirmed as back, so that pretty much also confirms Grove Street.

~*casts revive*~

Anyone still play on PS3? I want to get my MP rank up but it's hard to find a decent game.
Between cheaters and people rage quitting halfway through races I'm getting nowhere.

So just now I try some Mafiya work, I get a whole two other plays. One is hacking and it takes about 10 minutes and repeated messages for the other guy to get round to kicking him. By that point he's made a vehicle we're supposed to destroy invulnerable so we can't do anything. censored

TBoGT and TLaD add some nice new vehicles, although some are depressingly rare.
There's a Hyabusa (or however it's spelt when you're not half asleep) and er.. a 1098 too.
and there's a car that I think is supposed to be a Maser GT and a Rolls and a super duper purple flip paint police car.

Playing club business last night I got the job to destroy some Japanese bikes, one of them was a Hyabusachu (or whatever it's called) and I decided to try something, took it to P&S, shot it till it started flaming and that counted as it being borked, so I got on and it got fixed, RESULT! Now, I did catch fire (oops), but I had a Hackabusa, in multiplayer biggrin and one of the other guys watched me do this so I re-spawned right next to it.. only to watch him needlessly blow it up. Que angry message. So for some reason everyone is sat around not getting the last bike so I go get it, a Double T. I do the thing again. Same guy blows it up again.

I really hope they improve the kick/ban/report for hacking mechanism in V.

R* have just announced the full arse-rape editions of GTAV, no prices yet.

'Collectors Edition' comes with a cap, security bag (big purse) and two posters - plus a couple of extra guns, cars and mini-missions.

'Special Edition' just comes with the posters and the extra game things.

I'll probably go for the Special Edition, that map looks quite cool.

The exact reason I haven't pre-ordered it yet!

Anyone found a link to the pre-order page?

Edit: On R* now, links will be up soon! Gonna go for the Collector's Edition!

The only place accepting pre-orders as of right now is ShopTo and they've got the Collectors Edition down at an estimated price of £120. Woof. I've slapped in an order for now expecting that to go down, but will find it hard to justify if it really is £120 when the prices are finalised.

You all must have more money than me (more than likely) or a higher tolerance level for 'over priced tat' wink

If they're not noticeably more expensive I might get the special edition for the sake of the extra game content, but other wise they can whistle. I bought the collectors edition of 4 because they were the only ones left in the shop. I got home, put on the CD which instead of playing music from the game, just played clips, stuffed the lot into the metal case thing and chucked it under my bed - I felt dirty afterwards ha ha.
