QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 07:12 PM) there are widespread reports of the 360 failure too, just not as bad as the launch 60GBs, which I have. I'm sorry to hear that. Supposedly Rockstar promises a patch by the weekend. Having played it for a few hours since I got home, I can tell you you will be pleasantly surprised by its greatness.

My 360 version works. It looks glorious. When you are driving on the streets, it pretty much looks real.

Thankfully, I have a 360.

Basically, if you get through the first cutscene you are golden, if not, you are f***ed.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 03:47 PM) PS3 or 360? AH, I read that the 60gb PS3 is the most often culprit.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 02:57 PM) Well, great. I got one of the apparently millions of faulty GTAs out there. Hopefully you guys are luckier than I. PS3 or 360?

I think 30 needs to start getting some hits.

QUOTE (RME JICO @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 03:07 PM) CQ will probably get on the Final Vote ballot. ... if he keeps this up.

It's a complete joke that balloting is already open for the All-Star game not even a month into the season.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 02:49 PM) OK, so I have a question then. It has been much discussed that he is an above average fielder and has a cannon arm. So why is he in LF and Swish in RF with Dye out, I would think if he is as good as has been reported they would flip flop. Is it because they want to protect his shoulder after the injury or something else? Because it's temporary. JD is the RF right now, and he's not going to be out much longer. Swish is already moving all over the field, so the Sox might as well keep f***ing with his head. Quentin is locked in at LF for 2008, might as well keep him there.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 01:54 PM) what the f***'s a newspaper? It's funny how true this statement is... I can get anything I want online, for free, why would I ever pay to have ink come off on my fingers?

QUOTE (Felix @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 01:53 PM) Not necessarily. Unless I'm wrong (which is possible I suppose, but I haven't seen anything), they haven't confirmed or denied a PC version yet. I suspect one will be out, and thats what I'll be waiting for since the GTA games have always been much, much better for PC than for any consoles. That was before consoles passed PCs. I'd think like 6% of the population could run a scaled down version of GTA IV on PC. It's just too loaded. You'd need to be rocking Alienware to do it. Now, I'm not saying it's impossible, but I don't think there'd be enough folks who could actually run it to merit such a feat.

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 12:54 PM) Coop'll hex 'em! I think the only pitcher that is even nipping at Kenny is Jon Rauch, but that is so far removed now, it probably doesn't even register. And we got our DH for a World Champ for him, so there really shouldn't be any worries regardless.

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 01:34 AM) yes, i have a delorian. Those come in handy from time to time.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 01:38 PM) I know they are probably playing it, but no one here has IV yet??? I picked it up on my lunch break. However, being a working professional I have to wait until this evening to put it in... Heh. That's what SHE said.

That sucker was long... but done.

QUOTE (rangercal @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 12:16 PM) I mean, I am deciding between a ps3 and a xbox as a second console. I may lean towards the ps3 for it's blu ray capabilities. I realize GTA4 will only be available for ps3 and xbox. Oh sorry, I misunderstood. I'm a 360 guy through and through. The Halo series and the online play make it a no brainer for me, but everyone's different. XBOX Live is the far superior online community, so if you plan on doing online stuff, that might be the route. However, blu-ray works, I'm just totally unconcerned with that aspect or I'm sure I'd have been disappointed with the HD-DVD death. However, I don't use my system for movies.

QUOTE (WCSox @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 11:47 AM) I find it interesting how Uribe is trashed here because he can't hit, yet Anderson is supposedly a better option at CF because of his defense. The guy whiffed on a freaking bunt yesterday. Anderson is essentially the OF incarnation of Uribe. Owens has hit reasonably well at the ML level and stole 32 bases in just 93 games last year. If he can get his OBP up to .340 or so (a modest 0.016 increase over last year), he's a legitimate leadoff hitter. And the Sox could really use a proficient base-stealer. Anderson had better start hitting soon, because Owens can bring a heck of a lot more to the table than him at this point. I think the big difference is Anderson is a backup and we don't have to suffer through it for as many at bats.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 11:47 AM) What is needed is some comprehensive policy, including tax inducements, grants and loans, and a stronger push towards competition for energy provision (utilities). ding ding ding

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 10:44 AM) Anyone ever see "Waiting"? I caught the tail end of it, and with the cast it looked like it might be funny. That movie is hilarious. I've seen it like 5 times. Just go buy it.

QUOTE (rangercal @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 10:22 AM) I decided to purchase a wii instead of a xbox way back when so no GTA4 for me(yet). Ever. There's no chance in hell the Wii could handle GTA IV. Seriously. I obviously loved the original Super Mario Kart as a kid, but never got into the second wave. Now THAT'S the real deal!

QUOTE (Al Lopez's Ghost @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 09:41 AM) Today's NY Daily News quotes the girl as saying she cannot refute the allegations. Clemens hasn't been hit this hard since JD took him deep in the Fall Classic. How do we nominate for quote of the month?
