The Grand Theft Auto IV Launch party

GTA IV LogoI guess I am gonna have to finally breakdown and finally get a Playstation 3 (PS3) because Grand Theft Auto IV has just been released. I have put it off buying a next gen system because I really wanted a PS3. Plus when the system came out last year the games pretty much sucked and the console was 700 bucks. Since then there have been a number of solid games released for the PS3 and Sony dropped the price of the console down to 400 bucks. With the release of GTA IV, my bank account may have to take another hit.

Game StopThe kids have been pestering me to geta Wii but I really been waiting for GTA IV to drop before buying anything. I was out late last night and happened to walk past a Game Stop store on the way back to the subway when I noticed a line of people going around the block. The line literally went around the block. It was pouring outside and people were standing in the rain waiting to get a copy of GTA 4. Now I like video games as much as the next emotionally immature man but there is a limit to what I will do for gaming. And standing out in the rain for a few hours to buy a game is it. I think I will wait until the weekend.
