    Anyone with the PS3 version...

    How does the game play online? Is it comparable to Xbox Live as far as gameplay performance (lag)?

    I want to get this for PS3 to build up my game library, but the 360 version has some extras. I'll base my decision off of the online performance of the PS3. If it's just about as good as far as lagging, number of players, etc., I'll get it for PS3.

    I've also heard that the only extras the 360 has is 2 missions.

    Anyone else not too thrilled with how difficult it seems to take a corner in a vehicle? Probaly just me and Im used to Saints Row's tight steering controls...

    I did. It freezes up my PS3. Haven't even made it up the hill after getting off the boat.

    Have you guys heard of the freezing problem? On one forum this guy says he's had to go back and get a new disc 5 times now.

    Is the freezing problem on both systems? Or PS3 only?

    WTF?

    I have a 60 Gig PS3 I bought in March 07

    20 and 60 Launch systems appear to have the most problems on Playstation.

    I have read that there are XBOX problems, but I have been following Playstation forums, because that is where my problem is. Can't tell you anymore about that.

    Sounds like no one really knows what is causing it yet.

    Launch systems, overheating, dualshocks, media servers, poor installs have all been blamed so far.

    I'll be trading out my disc in a few minutes, but I get the feeling, that's not going to help.

    This is from another forum, but basically more 360 games are freezing than PS3, and for every 7 PS3 that work, 18 freeze. Also It's about the system and not the console.

    Holy crap that sucks...talk about dropping the ball.

    Uhhh...I was also reading some complaints about how the graphics are disappointing. Any merit to that?

    Picking up my copy after school tonight, Im getting a little worried about the situation.

    I hear it is only the special edition discs that have problems with freezing/locking up? Is that true?

    Hmm, Ive had no problems. Played it for about two hours and even the loading time was fast. Im on the 360, by the way.

    I dont have a problem with the graphics. I have a problem with the control while in vehicles and the fighting system is kinda crappy. Way too slow!

    Just my opinions, before some fan boy flames me. I still think it has all the makings of a legendary game. Just a few complaints that would merit me not giving it a perfect score like IGN did.
