GRRR God dammit!!

Thank you for contacting Play-Asia.com.

We regret that we are unable to provide an estimate time frame when we can ship out 'GTA IV' at the moment as this is really depending on the stock level which our suppliers could provide us. Please no worry, we will make sure to ship out this order immediately once stocked. Thanks for your patience.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Best regards,

Bryan

Dont worry? Of course I know that you will ship it when it's stocked. WHEN THE f**k IS THAT!? :rofl:

On the play-asia site it says they will be recieving the pre-orders tomorrow and shipped out. So considering it takes time we should recieve it no earlier than late next week or the following week.

yeah? hmm I'll have to pay attention again, but I swear it said 720p.

Yeah its weird, call of duty does it aswell.

In the settings menu on the PS3 where you set the video settings (720,1080i,1080p), if you have all three selected it automatically plays on 720. However if you deselect 720, it will play on 1080p. I wonder why it does this :rofl:

Doing a burnout for a while blows your tyres!!! Fantastic :)

Yeah they're site says that, but this guys answer doesnt sound promising:

so the only thing to be cut was... an anal raping scene? lol

so, how cheap is play asia compared to buying it from a retailer her in Aus?

Theres a few other things.. Nipples censored, blood doesnt pool on the ground etc etc

Its not that much cheaper than BigW who had it for $78 or something. It's $70AUD on Playasia. The only reason that I ordered from playasia instead was that I didnt expect it to come out at such a low price in Oz! Most big PS3 games are $100+

Yeah I ended up paying $73.00 AUD including delivery. Kinda sucks now I hear BigW is selling it for $78.

Ohwell thats life.

For anyone who has not yet bought the game

in the o/s edition when you pick up hookers you can pick between 3 "services" which are then played out in front of you in full view! in the aus version you pick them up and jus see the bumper bounce up and down.

well this should explain my resolution question. and why mine defaults to 720p. pinched from another forum:

"There are 3 types of HD games on the PS3.

Games that are 720p native (will not run at higher resolutions).

Games that are 1080p native (will run at 720p, 1080i & 1080p).

And games that support 720p & 1080i.

You can't force or "trick" a game to run at 1080p if it doesn't support it. What you are doing is getting it to run at 1080i, then the PS3 is outputting the signal progressive. The reason games that support 720p and 1080i default to 720p is that 720p outputs at 60 frames-per-second, and 1080i is half that (30 fps). Visual detail on a moving image is about the same for both resolutions (1080i is twice as many pixels, half as fast) but the higher frame rate is better for gaming. So when you try and force a game to 1080p you are actually getting a lower frame rate, and no increase in quality.

The reason they put 1080i support in games is that some older HD sets do not have 720p (they are 1080i only for HD), and on those sets a 720 only game ends up running at 480p SD resolution (Sony never enabled full hardware scaling for HD games). The game knows the best resolution to run at, so don't waste your time trying to "trick" it because you can't get 1080p out of a game that doesn't support it. Games that have true 1080p support will run at 1080p. If the game picks something else then that is the best resolution for the game.

NOTE: COD4 is a special case because it does "support" 1080p output, but it is not rendered at 1080p. COD4 has software scaling built-in to the game engine. It is actually rendered at 600p and scaled to whatever resolution your TV requires, so the game is not really a 1080p game."

      To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear

      I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.

      No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.

      I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
