IGN just reviewed it, and it sounds like a real monster.

Perfect 10 all around, their first perfect 10 score in 9 years.

They also claim that it is the best game since Ocarina of Time.

Multiplayer sounds fun as hell too.

In other words: I have put it off long enough. Time to get a 360.

I agree with you about GTA IV, but I'm still torn on if I want to plonk down the W for a 360 or instead buy a PS3.
Not too sure if I will play anything else on 360, whereas I have a load of PS2 games I can play on the PS3.

Decisions decisions.

I'm pretty sure the new cheaper PS3's are not backwards compatible. Still, with the BluRay player included, the PS3 is still the better deal IMO.

Really? Damn. I haven't heard that yet. If it isn't backwards compatible, then that makes the decision easier for me, as having a BlueRay player isn't a real selling point for me just now anyway.

Can't wait. Anyone know if this one is going to be region locked for the 360?

I'm putting my vote for the 360 version..

'While i don't have, and have never played a ps3..i still think 360 is the way to go. It's been revealed that the 360 version will have downloadable additional content (possibly extra maps). The graphics are only marginally better for ps3, however ps3 has long load times between events and the 360 has no loading time.

I'm getting mine tuesday.

So hopefully I will be in Korea this august. I do not have a 360 yet and am thinking about buying one once I get there. I figure it will be a cool way to keep in touch with my brother.

My question is: Are all the games in Korean? Or can you buy english language games that play on a Korean 360?

And the new GTA looks pretty rad.

360's are all region locked unless you chip them..

microsoft will have etrxa dl's in about 6 months

in fact there are torrents up for the 360 already, but you cant use them for multiplayer

I pre-ordered the NTSC-J Asia edition, which is supposed to be in English. They've recently started to come out with Korean language versions of games, but if they say "Korean language version" then they will probably be in Korean.

Anyway, they are supposed to be shipped today or tomorrow from Play-Asia.

What about in computer game shops. DO you know if they have them in stock today? I know I could just go down and find out but I work until 10pm so don't really want to rush to find out that the shops won't have them yet

Highly, highly doubt it. Xbox's Korea site says that it's not coming out til May here. (That's all it said- just "May 2008")... Play-asia's probably the best bet, because a lot of stores may take their sweet-ass time with it.

I've had it since Sunday and it's fucking amazing. Agreed? Agreed. Our 360 is modded though, so it's obviously not a legit copy. I don't care. Over and out.
