It will definitely be more sexy on the PS3 or 360 though.

reason?

Generally speaking: bigger screen capabilities, better soundsystem accompaniment, controllers feel at home in these games, online will be just as easy to get into as if it was on the PC.

My personal PC setup: 19" LCD screen, Altec Lansing speakers, mouse and keyboard, desk chair

My TV setup: 30" Samsung HDTV, Onkyo 5.1 Surround sound system (110 Watts/channel, 230 watt 10" subwoofer), PS3 controller, couch for relaxation purposes.

As you can see, for me anyway, I'm going to get a fucking sexy experience with my TV, vs playing it on my PC. Of course, it's different for everybody, but the sky's the limit when it comes to having a home theater setup for gaming, vs just sitting at a PC. You could do all that with a PC, sure, but it's more accessible to do it with a console.

Yes, but i don't have the money or the space for a home theater setup like that. My TV is smaller than my monitor. It has mono sound for fuck's sake. My pc is infinitely better. If I owned a 460 or ps3 I'd hook it up to my pc monitor.

How would you get sound? Unless your monitor has HDMI and inbuilt speakers.

Otherwise, you'd need to ...ah its long even explaining it.

Lid, not lurd.

On April 29th Rockstar Games will release the most anticipated game of 2008, Grand Theft Auto IV. In addition to the game, the company is launching the Rockstar Social Club, a new website that will extend your experience of Grand Theft Auto IV and all future Rockstar Games titles.

The Rockstar Social Club is more than just a standard gaming site. It features all of the statistical leaderboards that gamers have come to expect, and combines them with performance-based competitions and awards.

Registration for the Rockstar Social Club begins on April 15th and anyone can sign up with their Xbox Gamertag and/or a PlayStation Network ID.

GTA IV, the first game featured on the Rockstar Social Club, has exciting features beyond multiplayer leaderboards, including:

* LCPD Police Blotter — A virtual map and tracker of single-player criminal activity logged in Liberty City from the aggregated data of millions of connected players - showing the most dangerous areas of town, most commonly used weapons and more.

* The Story Gang — This special single-player leaderboard recognizes players who complete Niko Bellic's main story arc of Grand Theft Auto IV - The leaderboard ranks players according to the total amount of playing time it's taken to complete the story, as well as a historical rank by who has completed it first. Members of this club will receive special online widgets and merit badges marking all of their in-game accomplishments.

* The 100% Club — Watch to see who will be the first to complete 100% of the game. The first ten people to be identified on the Social Club as reaching 100% will be sent an ultra-rare commemorative 'key to the city' to mark their accomplishment. In the future, the 100% Club will then carry a historical leaderboard showing rankings of who has completed 100% of a game in the shortest span of playing hours.

* The Hall of Fame — This area will dynamically recognize those singularly elite players who have reached the top of the hill on various statistical leaderboards, and will also contain a personal awards display of special in-game landmarks and successes in Social Club competitions.

* The Liberty City Marathon — A ranking of special physical milestones achieved in the game - from the amount of miles walked, driven, or swam - to the number of bullets fired and stunt-jumps jumped. There will be additional special marathon-based competitions in the future from this area as well.

The Rockstar Social Club doesn't stop there. With special competitions, leaderboards and challenges rolling out regularly in the weeks and months following the game's release, this is just the beginning of an on-going Liberty City experience and is a small taste of what's to come from Rockstar Games for GTAIV and beyond..
