PS3 Users Experience GTA 4 Online Woes
by Chris Faylor, Apr 30, 2008 8:17am PDTFollowing yesterday's launch of Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3, X360), the Shacknews staff and many are finding it difficult to play the online multiplayer of the PlayStation 3 version.
Following reports from many readers that PS3 multiplayer access was sporadic, Shacknews attempted to play online and was presented with an error message that read "Cannot connect to game provider."
Shacknews can confirm that the PS3 edition was playable online in the hours following the game's midnight launch. It is believed that the servers are struggling due to high demand, similar to the problems that afflicted Xbox Live this past winter.
In Shacknews' experience, the connectivity difficulties do not affect the Xbox 360 iteration, which continues to have a functioning multiplayer component. As with the freezing issues that surfaced yesterday, developer and publisher Rockstar has yet to make any official comment.

Xbox360 FTW!
Until I get a RROD....seriously though, I could give two shits. Back to GTAIV.

I would have bought the 360 version had I still owned a 360. I even recommended that version to other people who were undecided because of DLC and Xbox Live. If people with both consoles bought the PS3 version over the 360 one either were retarded, didn't have Live or friends on Live, or had their own strange reason like not wanting to put up with the DVD drive noise.
