    That's the same with me. My 360 was hardly touched for the last couple months. I was playing Wii constantly up until here recently.

    I was in the store the other day buying it and there was a kid (maybe fifteen?) and his mom in front of me in line.

    The EBGames staffer told them that it was a mature game, and when asked went into detail about being able to hire/kill prostitutes and such. At the end of his speech the mom bought it for the kid anyways.

    This is why the ratings system is retarded. Parents only care when they want something to blame. Otherwise they don't give a sweet damn.

    I didn't know PS3 has it's own memory card, that saves me alot of trouble of having to buy one. while I'm saving up, I guess I could get the strategy guide.

    It's most likely your TV, increase the brightness on the game (Start->Display->Brightness) or change the brightness on your TV it self.

    Yeah, the PS3 has a hard drive. The strategy guide is well worth it, I never buy them, this is the 1st one I've bought but it gives a lot of hits you wouldn't know about if you didn't have it.

    I always pre-order at gamestop and I've never had a problem with them. (so far)

    The game's missions are still too closely related to the previous games, but the way everything plays in the technical side is great. BTW, I don't shop at Best Buy anymore because too many people have problems with that store. Plus that Rewards Zone thing is full of shit. I had that for years. You get 15 dollars for spending like 750 dollars. Screw that BS.

    Joker, this is why I NEVER order anything online. I preordered mine at GameStop and got it at the midnight opening no problem. I'd rather not rely on our mail system here in the US.

    Pre-order is gay. Just go the day that it is available and pick it up.

    I disagree. I prefer preordering games. Especially if you consider that I rarely go to stores like Best Buy or Walmart to buy games anymore. 95% of the time I go to Gamestop. Doing this allows me to trade in shit that I don't play anymore and throw that towards the price of the game. And the thing with going there is they usually will only get enough to cover preorders and then a little more. And based on the fact that I'm usually busy throughout the day and wouldn't really have time to get it until getting off work that night, preorder is actually the logical way for me to go, especially with a game this big.

    Still, pre-order isn't worth it unless they give you some cool free perks.

    I do think trading in is cool, however, I sell most my games on E-bay. I get more value.

    The only reason I ordered online is because all the gaming stores are far away from me, and it being a school week, it's annoying heading over to one of them.
