I 'spose I could dig my old PS2 out and blow the dust off - the old PS hasn't had a look in since buying the Xbox

GTA:SA does look good tho

Did Play get back to you on that? I've had it preordred for 8 months and am not going to buy it from a shop (I preordered it when it was on Play for £26.99 so no way am I paying an extra £13 to get it from a shop - even if I have to wait an extra couple of days!) but would like to know if they're advance shipping.

The usually ship DVD's that are due to be released on a Monday, on the Friday before. I've had loads of DVD's arrive a couple of days before the shops start selling them.

Got it on Sunday from the local market, before anyone complains, i have it on pre order from Play

Well worth the wait, IMHO

The city is fecking massive with loads more detail in the scenery and cars. Language is colourful and very descriptive, not for the kiddies

Only done about a dozen or so missions but you know your onto a good thing when one of the characters in the opening sequence is voiced by Samuel L Jackson

One of the best aspects so far is the Talk Radio presenters

Agreed...

If you order with Play it will generally get shipped on the day of release..

Gameplay.com guarantee delivery on day of release. ( or in my past experience the day before release.. )

Think I'm gonna ignore the urge to buy on Day 1 for a change, and wait for the Xbox version

I'm going to get this one. I was a bit disturbed by watching people playing the first one, it certainly highlights personality traits. The playlist looks great and the map is huge.

Oooh the media are going to love this one when it hits the shelves
If they thought Vice City was violent, they ain't seen nothing yet !

Prepare for a wave of media hype blaming games for the rise in gang related crimes.

Dear Simon

Thank you for your email

Whilst we do endeavour to dispatch pre-orders so that they are received on the date of release, unfortunately we cannot avoid occasional delays passed on from our suppliers.

However, it is also very possible that we will receive stock early, in which case orders may be received by you ahead of the scheduled date of release.

You will not be charged for this item until the time of shipping. You still have the option to cancel the order by logging into your account and pressing the cancel button next to the item in your outstanding orders.

We hope that this information answers your query, please do not hesitate to contact us again if you have any further questions.

Kind regards

Play

That map looks fantastic

set my ps2 up today. Had to blow off the dust.

Connected it to my LCD tv. Unfortunately doesnt look very good. Not a nice crisp image when I tried using GTA vice city. Played a dvd though the ps2 and it looked great. not sure why vice city doesnt look any good.

Recaro - The DVD will play at max res of 1280x1040 through the PS2, but only at 320x240 for most games, sometimes 640x480. So the quality in not up to much on a high res screen.

Cheers DJ, Got a VGA adaptor somewhere that changes the res from 320x240 ro 640x480.

I'll give that a go.

That should bring out the best in it Switch the motion blur off too, but you've probably already done that Its not on in San Andreas, it only blurs when you get some real speed up, um, allegedly.
