It has SecurROM!!!!!111one

Bought it. 32 person multi-play.

Going to install it and see how she plays.

Frigging 18GB of the harddrive.

18GB of HD Space!!!! Are you cereal?   

Yes Sir. But hey it has unlimited installs. It is a pain to install in the beginning.

1. Must make a Rockstar Social Account.
2. Download the latest Windows Live.
3. Sign in to your Account with Rockstar.

And that is about it. I will discuss the performance expects a bit later. Kudos to the 150ml registration.

I believe you meant Aspects. 

Well if you already have it for the 360 then I probably wouldn't get it. That is if you want the 32 person multiplay, and the video editing function. And the 4 person co-op, but I think that is in the 360 version.

I would wait a few weeks until someone creates a workaround. But I love it, it is taking some time to get used to but I am sure it will grow on me. And there is an interesting thing. Now my rig as seen on my signature is more then enough to run this game. But the thing is; is that GTA4 will only let me run it at 1680X1050 on medium graphics. The kicker is the view distance you can only have it up to a certain point and it informs you that it is unstable. Basically it is your graphics memory, so if you have 512MB of video ram like I do. It will only see the 512MB of ram. Regardless if you run Crossfire or SLI. I run Crossfire in this instance. I mean it looks pretty good and all just pisses me off I can't push it to its limits.

I didn't think using two 512mb cards in crossfire or SLI would double the usable video memory.  I may be mistaken.

No you are correct.  Basically crossfire allows the game to send each frame to a different card to speed the rendering.  Each card does half of the work to show each frame.

Another thing I noticed is that it uses about 3gb of ram while playing. I have 8GB in my system. And I have the G15 to only display CPU and RAM usage. So I look down at a glance and see that the system RAM is alittle more then halfway up.
