  1. Yeah you can use your phone as a internet thing..i can with mine anyways (nokia 6280), but it'l cost heaps I think...I think the speed is around dialup speed..so only if ur desperate, you know..

    or you could go to a LAN cafe

  2. Thanks dudes, umm yeah I said at the start what TM was thinking...

    I think I will go ps3 especially considering 360 u have to pay for online, smaller hard disk, different control.. and blu-ray!

    plus i wanna get the next gran turismo whatever they are gonna call it cos i love those games..and ps3 control is basically the same as ps2

    so can you plug n play ipod, i never tried with ps3

    but 360, just plugged it in, and can browse just like on computer...i suppose it'd be the same

    I like Wii , its heaps fun (friend & cousin has one) but I want something thats powerful enough for all the new games, (instead of shelling out ~$1500 for a new pc)

  3. It is cheaper than PS3 (in Australia anyways)...I suppose a bigger hard drived 360 would cost more, but Im just using these prices for reference as I would be buying one of the two, although there are sometimes better deals by maybe $10...

    360 is cheaper by ~100 here (the 20gb bundle with 2 games)

  4. This looks good, and the right time to release with the success of the "save earth from aliens" genre (eg gears of war, resistance fall of man)

    I was about to post a youtube link of the video smallpancake already said...

    :rofl: i never get sick of that

  5. Which of these should I buy?? Vote, then post your reasons for the vote..edit: i see 1 for each...great

    FYI I dont want this to turn into a "360 SUX PS3 is the BEST" topic...just asking for opinion

    I have a PS2 already, but since I'm in Australia we got scammed (only ps2 emulation) on the ps3...

    The 40gb ps3 is $600AU i think now (with 1 control and a game I think)

    The 360 is $500 for a Pro pack with Forza 2, another game, 20gb hdd

    I was considering 360, but Im so used to PS2 control, it takes a bit to get used to. Also the fact I could plug my Ipod in and play all songs off the media browser thing..PS3 i have heard is really picky with external hard drives (my friend had to format his in like ~10gb partitions)

    But PS3 looks cool (and is less noisy I think, 360 is so noisy)

    The reason I have excluded Wii is that it is unable to play a lot of the more demanding games (GTA4 was a factor as well)

  6. Well...confirmed that the 'glitch island' works for PS2

    It was pretty insane, just run back then forward and theres like another 6 leaders...The only real problem I had (until I died) was running out of bullets

    But..I got hit with the M79 then fell, then got up to trigger blind rage, and befoer i was up i was hit with another 2 grenades..

    There goes ~1.4mil dirty cash & ~2000g :pissedred:

    I guess I wasnt close enough....

    Take 2

    Did ok this time, killed again @ ~750k though

    Take 3

    this time I was ready, I got around 800g and about 600k (after heat payed down) then quickly called floatplane cos I was surrounded with no health...made it back and laundered the cash

    :tongue: pirates u neva catch me :tongue:

    oh and im up another rep level after doing distribution twice (30kg once and 7kg another time) and gettin cars n stuff - got the first few investments, legal,finance,sports and defence(locked) still left to get

  7. Tell you the truth, exactly the same thing happened to me. Except i didnt put a stripper mod

    I had all my vehicle mods etc all working fine

    Then I stopped playing for a while, cos I was playing PS2

    Then i went to play it again, and it loaded to like 75% then crashed. I tried "new game" and it crashed as well

    I went to my backup directory (when i installed, i made a copy of the whole folder to another spot on my c drive) then tried to open that, and EXACTLY the same thing happened. So I dunno...I had some cool mods on that, Im sorta cut it stopped working..I hadnt done anything to it since it was last working..

  8. Theres already a formula one car...and thers a shanghai formula one circuit which can be added to san andreas. It appears near the ferris wheel near one of the beaches in Los Santos..i made a topic of it in the gta san andreas ->modding forum

  9. Get some modded cars from this site. Then use IMG tool to open gta3.img (in your san andreas\models directory then search for and rename the one you are replacing (eg savanna.txd) to something like savanna1.txd so you know that theres a backup in case you dont like the car. Then add your new savanna.txd. Do the same for the .dff file as well (rename original, add new) .

    There are some help topics in this forum you can look up as well to help you out.

    eg

    http://www.thegtaplace.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=9653 (making own mods)

  10. You use it to open the .img files, for example gta3.img

    Imagine this file as a big zip file. IMG tool lets you open the .img files, and add/replace/delete/rename files in the .img archive which is necessary if you want modded cars, boats, helicopters, and some others

  11. Oh BTW that map isnt mine. Someone put a link to it in the FAQ. I have Scarface on PS2..the map does not look like that-there is only one gang area.

    Downtown gangs..they are sorta more difficult. I was close to killing all. Then "kill the leader" He appeared next to me with a M79 (grenade launcher...) then boom. "You fucked up"..ohhh son of a b!tch. That was a nacho mercenaries however. I can wipe out the nacho gang's easy though

    I got the storehouse in downtown without too much trouble. The helicopter was so much easier to kill than I expected. Up to islands. Met sandman, then did the nacho mission in his tanker (not dock boss, the one b4). Far out that was annoying. Especially the snipers...The cut scene was sorta dumb..why didnt he just shoot nacho? Made no sense, but it was funny watching him swim. Then i shot him in the head :cigar:

    Up to the dock boss mission, but i decided to explore. Ended up on tranqulandia thinking it will be ok..nope..lol..swarms and swarms of gangs arrive. lucky my henchman was on the attack boat. That was like 5 minutes of fun. Gunning everyone down, actually was easier than I thought. Then got a bit further in the island, and had to swim, then they killed me while in the water. I did get to use blindrage like 4 times though.

  12. I think it isnt on reputation but on how much balls is in the balls meter. When you get femme upgrades some are balls, which makes the meter have a larger capacity. I suppose this could be it. Yeah I heard about the other one in the industrial area, also in the FAQ, but they gave a vague location and thought mentioning their description would cause everyone to whinge about it etc

    And Havana one was much closer. :tongue:

  13. Hey dont know if you guys know about this, but there is a sperm bank in Scarface. Looks similar to the blood bank, but is UNMARKED on the map. When you have a full rage meter (the white outline around where it shows your health) you can trade that in for $25000 cash..useful I suppose if you have like no money (not even enough for a small supplier) but also cool to know as well.

    this is a map of where one is

    _________________________________________________________

    It is near the Havana store house on the road there with the trees in the middle, on the right hand side. There is an alleyway. go down it and turn right. then you will see the trailer. Your balls meter must be maxed for this to work I think..a full meter gets $25000 (did for me anyway)

  14. Its probably your intel graphics card...

    it says you need a minimum geforce 3..i dunno how intel compares..i just know that they are never any good (on a laptop at school it struggled with project64)

    So thats probably the cause of your problem...does it lag a lot in game? I would imagine it would...

  15. heheh told

    Anyways this seems like a good idea.. I tried out one of these (vista inspirat) but then caused some problems eg when i click start-shutdown, nothing happens...so i got my original files back from another XP computer (explorer.exe;winlogon.exe).

    Its very good if you want the look of vista, and the compatibility of XP..I especially hate (now that i found out) the default setting. "You are opening ... are you sure" Gives a "are you sure" way more than needed

  16. Is it pirated copy??

    Do you have a firewall..are the ports needed blocked for some reason..

    IS your norton or whaetver program firewall you have set to allow connections for that program

    Zonealarm set to allow all stuff etc, windows firewall set to allow .exe file?

    Internet on & working :P

    R u using a NoCd patch?

    Got the latest patch (if applicable)

  17. Well I have all fronts in downtown..and all exotics of level 4 (except investments+unique)..just unlocked level 5 and now have the shotty attachment for the AK :D

    **big edit**

    Hmm...after weapon upgrades (mac10 stock + ak shotgun) back to ~10k in the bank...Well...back to small supplier deals..

    Although i got like 250k for killing Nacho Mercenaries...that was good. I then got a large supplier, put it in storehouse. Then got heaps of small supplier deals and ended up having ~4000g. I then sold it at fidel's records because I really couldnt be bothered going to 40 dealers...even to get the $100/gram. Then used that money + distribution money to buy babylon club..

    The mission for babylon club is frustrating sometimes...so close to escaping, then the retard VIP decides to not follow you and gets shot in the face by a shotgun..I see during blind rage "The VIP was killed.." Much cursing followed :pissed:

    Then I did it again, and beat it..so I was happy. I think I've killed 20/21 gangs in little havana, don't know where the last one is..might search a map. Although I heard killing all gangs apart from getting money (and progress towards 100%) is nearly totally pointless because they will still spawn etc..

    I remember on my other profile it would be fun to do the "GOBALLS" cheat - which made gang heat go up by 1000 each time. It was funny to do until its full, then some message about retaliation comes up..then I see my car I just called (the luxury old style one - Whiskey Ghost) get blown up by a rocket& then I quickly turned off the PS2 to avoid the millions in repairs. I then found I had lost about 10mil in distribution moneys. Another thing with that car was when my younger cousin was playing (big big mistake) he called the Whiskey Ghost then accidently drove it into the water. Then he got away from it (from Havana to downtown) and I didnt notice and then I saved..Then I noticed the fat repair bill...no good :(

  18. Hmm

    This seems to make sense...I remember asking about "If someone breaks into your house and then you beat them up so they don't steal your stuff or try and kill you etc, then why should you be put in jail or whatever - since you're just protecting your own stuff"

    @COBHC666

    Im sure that you can get life sentences in Australia...they would have to be able to give that..

    I also think that the death penalty is the easy way out...obviously they are dead..but..they don't have to suffer like their victim did (ie murder etc) and so they should have a life sentence - although then it comes up of "why should our taxes pay to feed/shelter heartless criminals etc"

  19. Nah...although GTA3 on pc was pretty fun...

    San andreas I think is better--heres why

    1.Bigger map = more area for customisation

    2. Clothes are customisable (not that i've done this yet)

    3. Planes / Helicopters - more of them, so more to mod

    4. Many more cars to modify
