Hi Folks,
I know a few of us are getting ready for GTA V. I noticed there isn't an OzBargain Crew on the Rockstar Social Club (for Max Payne 3) so I started a new one in case anyone is interested in banding together.
Not necessarily bargain related, but is anyone attending any midnight launches?
I'll be going to JB Hi-Fi Brighton VIC!
PS3 SPECIAL EDITION PRE-ORDER…… I have max payne aswell on PC but don't play online….might join anyway eh?
Why not, I'll join. Ill be playin on xbox just so ya know.
I caved and ordered it on PS3 from Play-Asia ($60)
For $9 more you dont have to wait if you go with the DSE deal.
For the lowly uninformds such as myself out there, what's the DSE deal? Just went to their website and searched for GTA5, found it for $87 but it led to a 404.
awesome, have been looking for a dedicated crew since I bought Max Payne 3.
I made this suggestion a while ago:(

Oh well, I play on Xbox 360.
I joined BTW :D
Thanks for joining! sorry I missed your original idea.
I joined, I've been playing Red Dead again, forgot how good this game is. I've owned it on twice (first 360, then PS3) and got to around the same part (Mexico) both times and then lost interest, stopped playing and then traded it. I'm now playing the PS Plus version and I reckon I'm at the end or there abouts (this close > < to catching Dutch) Max Payne 3 next, then GTA4 (finished on 360 years ago, going through again on PS3)
Whenever I cross the water to Mexico I also stopped playing lol. Must those damn mexicans.
Guys, the map is out if you're curious.

can i be your lieutenant. the title sounds soooo cooool!
You can be official lead magnet?
I made everyone a Rep for signing on early!
Ok in my head I believe the PS3 version should be better cuz the PS3 has better hardware. But Then some games, a lot actually are designed on the Xbox and so are much better on the XBOX.
Any one know which one will be better GTA V for Xbox or PS3? Given i have the luxury of picking either platform
Rockstar has only shown PS3 footage for GTA V so far. I assume they believe PS3 version is better. Also, it will only 1 disc on PS3. Xbox will need 2 disc to play the game.
do you know which console it was running on?
all I know they have only shown the PS3 footage. no words about xbox
Also, it will only 1 disc on PS3. Xbox will need 2 disc to play the game.
According to Rockstar, the second disc for the 360 is merely a one-time use install disc. The PS3 bluray includes this installation data on the one disc. An extremely minor inconvenience for Xbox players - if you can even call it that.
I also have both platforms but I'll be picking it up on 360 mostly because my friends all have 360s (extremely important for the upcoming GTA Online).
I think both versions will be extremely similar. The PS3 version might look better in some areas, while the 360 version might look better in others. It's a total guess at the moment. I'd go with whichever one will make it easier to play with your mates. If multiplayer isn't a factor for you… flip a coin.
I'll be lining up for the midnight release in Carindale! Super keen!
extremelyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
I think that's just a marketing deal as they also have a GTA V bundle with Sony.
Lazlow who is part of Rockstar showed off the game to multiple radio stations on an Xbox dev kit, so that leads me to believe they prefer xbox in house, this is just speculation of course. Will have to wait to its released to see which performs better.
Will/would sign if site wasn't getting hammered. I'm on ps3 aswell but
Can't wait till Tuesday, I'm also on PS3
People waiting? i went down to HN earlier today and picked up a copy.
Street date has been broken
In the words of Jesus; pics or it didn't happen :-P
I read somewhere this is being played by many from a couple of days ago. But I read it was a leaked version on some dark place of the interwebs. I reckon you'd need a hacked console to play it which would probably mean no online.
Personally I'd either wait for it to reach $40 or when the PC release releases, would rather not spoil the game by first playing it on 7 year old hardware in 720p and I can wait.
Here is another petition for everyone to sign.

GTA V for PC, w00t w00t
…would rather not spoil the game by first playing it on 7 year old hardware in 720p…
Implying that any GTA game has actually been "spoiled" due to not having cutting edge graphics. San Andreas is one of the greatest videogames of all time (and my favourite GTA to date) but was clearly not as graphically advanced as many other PS2 games.
After having bought gta4 for ps3, I'm definitely playing it on pc. The console had so much crap done to it just for it to run at 30fps.
As for whether its coming to PC or not, I'm sure it will, just a matter of when.
@copie. Unless we see some proof no one will believe u.
Heya bargain Boffins; ill join as well; will be playing on ps3.
Anyone heading to the EB Games World Square midnight launch (also, joined - going to be playing on PS3)?
Just signed up. I'm known as The Tenant on there. Xbox 360 version.
Just signed up as well, playing on the PS3!!
So how are we working out price matching EB with Target for those who are picking up at midnight launch?
EB has the game at $110 I think? While Target has it at $79?
Do we go back tomorrow morning with the game and get the difference returned? I remember doing this long time back for Grand Turismo's pre order from EB.
The manager at my local EB told me to quietly mention the target price match when I pick up my order, she also put a note on my account stating it was previously authorized by her.
signed up! playin on ps3 :)
when is the jb's mid-night launch? 2nite or tmrw night?
Tonight.
thanx..goin out now
It's happening!
Just picked up my copy from jb
Jb has for $89 showed them DS $79. Price matched no problem.
However everyone else was just calmly paying $89
Some people don't come for the bargains, they come for the game itself.
Just joined on the PS3!
Picked up my copy from DS for the awesome price of $69.98 thanks to OzBargain!
Just joined, also on PS3.
Is this crew going to have GTAV added, or stay as MP3?
I can't see any option to add GTAV to the crew yet, I assume that it will come when GTA Online is launched or it will be automatic.
Cool, thanks!
Now a member, though I don't have an Xbox Live subscription membership haha (I believe I'm a silver member - whatever the ranking of "can download stuff and update Gamerscore, but can't play online" is)
Hey speaking of, does anyone know do I need a sub membership to log onto R* Social Club on my Xbox?
It says something to the effect of "This profile does not have permission to log in" and I can't go any further :(
|I want my free can of Sprunk!
Downloading now, cannot wait to play it on my CFW PS3.
CoughThief/cough
so for now, we can't do anything as a crew until 1st Oct? damn I love this game
Insane detail, right?
The sweat on your shirt, the vibrating line on the freeway, the fact a bike's wheel stays spinning after you fall off, the completely unique and varied NPCs, the way people in cars flip you off when you cut them up, the Fast and Furious-style crashes you can have, the fact that the NPCs actually have realistic scripts of actions…I can't get my head around the level of detail.
As an example of the last point, I watched a construction worker stop, get a burger on his lunch break, sit on a wall near the construction site, eat it , throw the wrapper away and then return to his work.
Oh: PROTIP. You don't have to continually press A/X to get ammo from Ammu-nation. There's an option to press X/Square to select "fill ammo" - learned that today on the last gun I was filling.
indeed, I can't believe you can create a game like this for current gen console. Whenever you drive around, people do different activities, live reaction towards your actions in the game, beautiful and lively looking city. The weather system is awesome too.
after playing this game, it makes Watch Dogs looks like shit. they claimed they can only get the game with next gen tech, but GTA V has surpassed everything Watch Dogs want to do in "next gen".
can't wait to play GTA online with the crew. 500+ missions? that's insane!
I'm strapped for cash these days, but the minute I have some comming my way, amongst camera lenses and maybe a PS3…an Xbox Live subscription is one of the first on my list for sure, solely for this game! haha
While I love this game and have become quickly obsessed with it, it bugs me that they still don't realise how motorbikes steer, or rather how they countersteer.
As a non-rider, I can't tell the difference, but I did notice that the car steering/control is vastly easier than GTA IV (not more realistic, but in my opinion, better for progressing and having more fun in the game).
[Random person encounter spoiler alert]
By the way, if you didn't already know: there's Jesus who you can talk to about his "dad travelling a lot and used to be an asshole, but has chilled out since [his son] arrived." Encountered it today - was pretty amusing. He's down by the long pier in the south, near the Burger Shot/Cluckin' Bell.
I beat him to death.
[End alert]
Nice I'll check out Jebus :)
Found him, killed him with one punch.
ps. Jesus does not have lasers.
Looks like we upset a christian
Where is the cheapest place to get the game today?
Probably BigW, $78
this game has reached 1 Billion dollars in sales in 3 days, quicker than any other game or movie… not counting the cash i handed over to JB Hifi today.. anyway i joined the crew, will be ready to roll..
For people on 360: I've been doing some experimenting with disc installs. As everyone knows, don't install the Play disc to the HDD, as this will result in drastically lowered performance. Digital Foundry realised that installing the Play disc to flash allowed the game to operate normally though. I was using this setup for a while. Some people suggested installing the Play disc to the HDD, and the Install disc to flash, made the game run better. I've tested this myself and I think it works. Textures seem to stream faster. At the very least its just as good as the previous setup. I'd suggest anyone interested to try it out.
joined too.
i got out of gaming but good reviews of this game got me buying ps3 again. i am truly amazed by this level of detail on current gen consoles. truly a masterpiece.
Should be launching 9PM AEST tonight.
I got some Customisation Options for our crew: http://imgur.com/30eiEId
Any suggestions what we should have for our Rank Titles & Crew Actions?
So what exactly do we do in an online crew?
Hanging out for 9pm tonight!
Fail to load it seems
I'm online now
Can we organize a meet sometime this weekend?
I wanna get upto shens without being killed all th time :(
I think to start with, Meet is ALL the time while we learn the ropes. Rockstar matches you against your own skill level and you can join/invite the crew anytime. Maybe when things settle down we can arrange certain times to go online at once
Let's set a meet for say this Saturday at 12PM? Does that suit anyone?
Not enough players with headsets. Maybe someone can find a bargain?
anytime on the weekend is fine for me. btw is there any story mission or some sort in gta online? I can't find a way to buy property, so maybe I should do more missions?
There is a story, as you level up more, you'll get more people calling you and having you do missions for them. As for buying property, you can either buy through the in-game internet or go to the properties themselves with the Dynasty8 sign out the front and buy them. You do need a considerable amount of money though.
I think that it's about time to have a Crew session. Saturday at 12PM.
Also, Subscribe to this topic on the forum so you get email updates.
I'd rather not start a completely new thread for this so I'm just gonna res this one…
Is there an OzB crew for GTA V on PC? Or at least, are any of the crew members on the PC platform as well?
Need to find some people to play with because I actually want to do proper heist when I unlock them… and I've been told by my friend on console that most randoms that tend to screw people over by doing stupid stuff.
I have moved from PS3 to PC. I'm on pretty regularly. I've seen a few other crew members too. Yeah Randoms suck, probably 70% suck, 25% are okay and 5% are really good. Have you got a mic?
Also check out reddit.com/r/heistteams
Yeah, got myself a roccat kave xtd so great sound and mic =)
-edit-
Actually, just joined up… found it on the "find a crew" section.
I'm trying to find other Aussie players with mics (PC version too) for hiests and shenanigans. Add me guys, massivegoat.
How funny, I literally just got home from buying a Mic. I have added you as a friend too
SMG?
Hey mate, couldn't seem to find ya. i'm sinr_88 on Rockstar social club, add me =)
Yesssss, I was considering posting a similar thread. Sick of being matched with people who don't speak English and don't work together.
The randoms are really bad. I thought it was bad on console but it is worse on PC (for now) because there are so many new players to GTA V completely they haven't learnt the ropes yet.
Well there is at least three of us =)
Need one more and we can do a heist… properly for once…
I've got a couple of aussie friends that play too. Just got my heist room and want to get the million dollar bonus for using the same crew for all missions if you're in.
@fanuch: Yeah that's what I was hoping for as well… needed a crew that could at least communicate and work together properly.
@fanuch:
I'm down for it next weekend if you guys are.
I'm lv 50+ and have done every role in every heist at least once.
@ChillBro: Hell I'm in, only lvl 20ish and only a few roles under my belt but I'm quick on the uptake.
@ChillBro: I'm level 21 but dont find any of the heist too tough (if you have a good crew). Name your time and date. Be sure to send an invite my way guys.
@fanuch: Whats the names for you guys anyway? I tried to add fanuch (massivegoat) but couldn't find him…
Need more aussie players who are willing to cooperate to play with… solo is boring and playing with randoms is way too hard…
@fanuch: I'm in. S.M.G. if you haven't already added me, I'm usually on from 6PM Melbourne time onwards every day
@The Land of Smeg: So, what time are we gonna do this thing? Are we gonna do some trial runs first or do we go straight in no lube required?
I just recently started playing MP3 single player. What's the idea of a crew?
I'm looking at getting GTAV too, but need to get off my ass and finish 4 still lol
