Take XBL and remove all the easy-to-use functionality and then let the features it does have be governed by the developers who made the game you're playing and that'll be a good idea of what PSN is like.

umm wat? I get requests for invites to games I dont even own. since when do you have to be 'in the game' to get an invite? any message you get reguardless of game, can be displayed in the upper right hand corner. Just like when a friend logging in notification.

its far from perfect but in no way is it as limited as you say

PS3 is huge in europe, not so much in North America.

Seems like Blu-Ray is getting very popular over there. I went over there during the Christmas holiday and did not see one HD-DVD for rental, but I did see plenty of Blu-Ray discs.

Also, does anyone know if the Special Edition is getting a different cover than the regular?

I've been trying to find pictures online, but I heard that the covers are identical except the SE one has possibly raised silver border around the Grand Theft Auto logo on the front.

I was sold when I saw him run over someone and they rolled over the car realistically - (am I going to this place called hell?!?)

pretty sure he's stopped playing and it's just showing clips or some shit.

Yeah, this is on newsgroups already and confirmed working. Unfortunately I never bothered modding my XBOX. I already preodered anyway, and I've bought all the GTA games in the past, but if I had a modded XBOX I'd download it just to play early, heh.

And, of course, there are people stupid enough to try and play online:

PSHome wont be out until GTA4's DLC, also PSHome wont have much to do with GTA4's multiplayer besides meeting your friends in Home to launch a game from there if you so feel like. As far as Home's connection to GTA4 it'll be more like a place where you store your achievements/accomplishments/trophies and show them off. Rockstar also might make their own Home space for you to visit like other devs are doing, we'll see though. As far as IN GAME MP, I don't think there is really any differences at all, or at least none of the previewers have said so. We'll see about that too. In game XMB comes out in the next firmware update, which will allow PSN users to see their friends list and communicate while in game.
