The much awaited and anticipated open world game from Rockstar arrives in MY, but only the Xbox360 version for now. Unfortunately, the PS3 versions have not arrive so there will be more waiting for PS3 users, and this means that I could not compare the two versions yet. Even as the game just arrives, the internet boards have lit up with several problems being mentioned.

The biggest problem so far are reports that GTAIV is locking up during or after the FIRST cutscene! This problem appears on both consoles, and Rockstar is working hard to find out the problem. The other problem mentioned is specifically for PS3 players only. It seems that the system is having some problem in connecting to the multiplayer portion of the game. If players try to connect the multiplayer by dialing the option on the phone, users will get the messages: “Cannot connect to game provider, please try again later”. This could simply be due to the massive amount of players trying to connect to the servers, but Rockstar is also looking into this issue.

There you have it, GTAIV finally arrives in MY(even if only the Xbox360 version, so PS3 owners sulk a few more days, like me!), but it seems that there are some bugs that have followed it too. Also note that the PS3 version requires a 3.4GB HDD install while not for the XBox360.

Let me know if the problems happens to you.

Sony’s PS3 camera accessory, PlayStation Eye, will hit the stores next month. The VGA (640X480 at 60Hz) with built in microphone is capable of capturing audio and video and saving them directly in the HDD using Sony’s propriety software, EyeCreate.


“The Eye of Judgement”, a card games using the PlayStation Eye included in the bundle, will hit US on October 23rd 2007 at US$69.90 (RM160) while Japan will get them on October 25th 2007 for Yen9,980 (RM300!). Australia will get them at the same time as Japan, while Europe will get them sometime in October.


However, there is no news of this peripheral nor “The Eye of Judgement” game bundle for Asian region. Its not fair that Sony CE HK have consistently neglected the Asian region.
