if you trade in games at gamestop you get an extra 20 percent if you put it towards GTA4

I turned in Mass Effect, God of War 1 and 2 and got $41 towards the game.

I've delayed my purchase of Mario Kart Wii because of GTA. Nothing keeping me away from GTA

I might get this. I still haven't beat San Andreas because it was so long, but I admit it was fun. I played for a few minutes last night on my 360 and I couldn't believe how bad the graphics look now.

I think i'm going to buy a system for this game....Its either PS3 or X360...Leaning more towards PS3 due to GT5 and MGS. Are the two versions any different? I heard the 360 has extra content...but as far as graphics/sound goes they're pretty similar right?

Yea, both versions are about equal. Only difference is the extra content for the 360.

I was not interested on getting it since I've never been a huge fan of the GTA series, but 10/10 from IGN is pretty insane. I'm thinking about picking it up now.

Yummy, I didn't know that you got a 360 Welcome aboard to the brotherhood. When would you like to be owned in either Halo or Gears?
