    How is it a shock? All the others were on pc, there was no doubting this one would be although no official announcement, still I played it on the 360 and it was pritty good, Can't wait to see what the pc version offers now :)

    Perhaps it was supposed to be teh ironing?
    I've completed it on the 360 already and doubt I'll bother with it on the pc, unless the DLC is available for that as well...

    There's multiplayer games already in the console versions - will MTA be necessary?

    Rockstar have done a fairly decent job at porting the GTA series from console to PC and dont forget that GTA all started on the PC ;)

    If I recall correctly, I had to turn off graphics acceleration/effects on the PC version of San Andreas whenever doing one of those ****ing car dance offs because there was a bug where the link between the "Hit this direction now!" graphic and the actual time it should show up was broken. Basically I was getting murdered at those challenges. Did some research, discovered issue, turned off graphics to basic, direction hints came on time, murdered opposition

    But nope - console to PC ports are rarely plain sailing. At best, theyre faithful converts from a limited system ignoring the advantages of the PC. At worst they tell you to hit the red triangle button or some such bull.
