GTA IV and Your Platform

i am getting it on both consoles but getting the special edition on ps3

Why?
Have you got too much money?

This is a stupid poll.

Only people whose response I trust are the "have no effect on me at all."

Maybe, just maybe, some of the 360 responses are legit. Possibly the "Buy a PS3".

But this is a stupid poll, it screams at fanboys and partisans to give untruthful responses.

For one thing, what about GTA IV would make you "Stick with" the PS3? I could see maybe someone who was thinking about jumping the 360's ship might change their minds what with the DLC, but wheres the justification for the PS3?

I can see reasons for "sticking with the PS3", but none of them have anything to do with GTA IV. I can see people buying a PS3 to play GTA IV...but those people are acting on Pavlovian instincts. (GTA=bell ----> PS=drool)

Assuming this fatally flawed poll had to be, there should have been one more choice...Buy GTA IV. No more, no less.

I chose the most honest answer for me (and more people than chose it, I suspect) because while I will be "Sticking with my 360", GTA IV doesn't enter into that descision making process at all.

I have to think that those who chose "Stick with my PS3." are motivated to choose thusly by loyalty, and that while they may, in fact, have chosen to "Stick with my PS3." those descisions were motivated by factors other, and more important than a multiplatform title they are getting the slightly shorter stick on. Like say, the advent to the DualShock and MGS...and more to come, and brand loyalty.

Okaaay... that's aside from the option/responses you would trust.


All (bar one) polls of this web-based, public nature enable slewed results. To think otherwise is naive at best... at very best.

Taking a less fanboy-centric view of the world for one second: some people do not currently own either PS3 or Xbox 360 - the only formats available for the game in question. These people, having seen advertisements, previews, reviews for the game - or having heard word of mouth - will (or won't, hence the last option) be making decisions. So, possibly, just possibly, these people have responded as well.


All (bar one) polls are flawed. There is nothing 'fatal' about this one.

Aside from the fact that 'Buy GTA IV' is implicit in this poll - the explicit "I will be buying GTA IV or I won't be buying GTA IV" poll is due for the week prior to launch.

Or it was... I might just forget the whole thing and run this perfect poll instead.

'Do you take part in Polls?
Option 1: Yes.'

Yeah, I might do that instead! Yeah!

but your perfect poll could be flawed what if someone is dyslexic and reads it as do you pull in parts but that person doesnt so as only one choice - doesnt select yes although they are a poll par-taker surly your figures would be incorrect as those people who do take part in polls are not polling!

The poll remains pure. Pure!!

What you are referring to is a Wetware error.

Ah yes, a flaw in the chair-keyboard interface...

I have both systems, but ill be sticking with the 30 version.
