Best products from r/GrandTheftAutoV

The quality in my opinion is great. I don't notice any lag at all. If you're into competitive gaming, you might notice something.

I have this projector. I got it when it was at $1200, but it has apparently gone down a lot since then. Jerks...

The main thing is light control. If you can't make your room dark enough, you won't be able to use it during the day. With this projector, I can use it in moderate light, but it's obviously better at night.

I don't even use a screen, just some 2" wide black felt tape stuck on the wall as a border. For all my purposes, it is fantastic.

I hope you've got some sweet surround sound to go with it!

I have THIS one and it is pretty awesome. Full HD, 3D ready, great picture. It has multiple inputs as well, so I can hook my PC through the HDMI and the PS3 through the a/v jacks, with more hook ups to spare. On sale at $349, it is a bargain for a projector.

well im using I am using an older version of this http://www.astrogaming.com/mixamps/mixamp-pro-2013-edition

Its pretty great because you can hook it up to any console or pc and just any headphones you like. If you want to get a nicer pair i suggest these.

with this mic http://www.amazon.com/Zalman-Zm-Mic1-Sensitivity-Headphone-Microphone/dp/B00029MTMQ

This says it is 12', but even if you sit 10' from your tv, i don't think only having 2' of slack will be comfortable or doable. If you are that far you will probably need a wireless. My friend has the px5 from TurtleBeach and he swears by them. He said he spent $150 for refurbished a year or so ago, but will still probably run you $100-$150 for refurbished. Good thing about those is it is both xbox and ps3, digital sound and dual channel bluetooth voice (for game or answering your phone).

This is a pretty good one, you could probably go cheaper just make sure it has dedicated graphics

EDIT- ALL ON PLAYSTATION 3

EDIT 2: Watch the following video before San Andreas is started http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-wLIAISF9I&feature=kp

Honestly if you want something cheap that works just fine, I recently got this and I love it:
http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-PlayStation-Wired-Headset-Officially-Licensed/dp/B0050SXMNE/

It's very cheap, sound quality isn't bad, and it works great.

What? On the page for it on Amazon UK it clearly says in hyper linked italicized text "with $1,000,000 In-Game Currency"

Look

Then clicking the link takes you to this page, on the page it clearly states "Incentive received:

Pre-order Grand Theft Auto V on Xbox One, PS4 or PC and receive $1,000,000 in-game currency."

And they also provide a nice picture to further prove their claims.

Then last, but not least, the most important part of them all, the disclaimer. "Offer strictly subject to availability. Your code will be included in the game box received when the item is released."

Buy this. Or, I'm sure if you google it, you can probably find a PDF of it. For that matter, you can find a PDF of the game's manual, too.

Try having the kids read pages from the Wiki. Like, this page concerning the Stinger GT, or any car, would be a good start..

I have a Hori silicon cover and bought some Xbox One thumbsticks off ebay, cut the thumbstick tops off them and glued them to the top of some Bluecell thumbstick covers. The Xbox Thumbstick glued to the Bluecell one will look like this. You're going to want to dremel out a little under the XB1 thumbstick so the plastic Bluecell cover fits more flush in there and doesn't make the joysticks on the vita too tall because otherwise it'll interfere with the d-pad and buttons. Once you're done you snap the new covers on top of the Vita's joysticks and you're done! The end result looks like this.

The total "mod" took me about 15 minutes.

I own 5 games and its half full. So 500Gb gives you room for about 10 games. Another Tb gives you room for 20 more. That is $1800 worth in games. If you can drop $1800 in games the SSD prices seem extremely reasonable. And also, hard drives can be external...

Edit: if you REALLY need space too, not all games need to be on an SSD. A lot of games wont benefit too much from the SSD and I'm sure some games you will play less frequently. For those gams you can buy a 4Tb HDD that is 7200Rpm instead of 5400rpm that is in the new consoles I believe and get a minor speed boost for only $250. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00FJRS5BA/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/185-0456694-3433360?keywords=WD4003FZEX&qid=1402080801&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1#productDescription_secondary_view_pageState_1416430633818

And for another point, the internal HDD (on xbox one atleast) uses 138 Gb for OS and stuff like that, you will not lose that on a external drive. Thats an extra of 2-3 games for every 500Gb! If you total it all up a 4tb + 1tb SSD + internal HDD you have 5,326 GB which is enough room for 106 50Gb games! That equals out to be ~$6k in games. Im sure that is plenty, no?

Thanks for your help, btw.

It says gaming, but I don't know enough to be confident.

I just bought one of these http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00CFHHFTK/ref=redir_mdp_mobile?redirect=true
And it works great with the Xbox, I installed Assassin's Creed 3 to it and it works fine, haven't had any problems so far. Only thing is, I guess Xbox only supports up to 32gb at a time? So I have another 32gb on that flash drive just being "wasted". That's probably my only complaint

It was amazing for its time. The level of customization was no where near Forza level but good enough for this kind of game. Basic performance, car height, rims, etc. Its def worth picking up for $15.77 depending on the console you have.

Not sure who told you it's not available for launch day delivery, it says so right on the site in grreen text for me:
http://www.amazon.com/Grand-Theft-Auto-V-Playstation-3/dp/B0050SXKU4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1372824193&sr=8-1&keywords=grand+theft+auto+5

Do you have Amazon Prime?

If you have Amazon Prime you can get Release Date Delivery for free, and if you pre-ordered before it was listed on site you will still get it on release day.

if you are not prime I think you have to go back into you order and select the right shipping speed.

To answer your question, yes, you need to pick it up at the Walmart you pre-ordered it at. Why don't you order it online at Amazon? You can get it the day it comes out if you choose 2 day shipping and get it delivered straight to your door.

If you ever get a chance to, I suggest reading Jacked: The Outlaw Story of Grand Theft Auto, in the book they talk about how they use marketing tactics from Def Jam Records and put stickers around all around New York to get the logo and name known.

Long after you realized what a ripoff any collector's edition is/long after you realized that having a "V" logo on the side of your pulse elite is not worth the extra fifty dollars, the first DLC will come out and you will wish that you still had those credits.

PDF.

Amazon

I also highly recommend this book.

[This] (http://www.amazon.com/Edition-Wireless-Headset-PlayStation-3-63089006306200/dp/B0087OZ5FG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1370924771&sr=8-1&keywords=pulse+headset) is the one without the GTA styling (US Amazon store though, sorry). The only reason I want it, is for the styling though. Just look on Amazon or your preference store for Sony Pulse Headset Elite.

I use the Sony Pulse elite edition headset, its not so cheap off the shelf, but i picked a new one off ebay for ~$50. HQ sound, and HQ mic. plus they're wireless. here they are on amazon.
