  1. Same paint job as mine lol. Didn't notice during the Double Parking grind
  2. Street races only appear between 20:00 and 5:00. After each one you'll get a text from Hao which will unlock the next one
  3. Sweet should be free all of Sunday evening
  4. Is there a garage given to you for joining the Social Club like in Story Mode? Where can you pick up the cars that come with the Collectors Edition?
  5. Another point, why is our crew colour blue? Shouldn't it be black and green like the theme of the website?
  6. Got in. My character and car are sorted and got a small go at Last Team Standing. Anybody know where the ATMs are though? Half my money is in cash
  7. So I know they said they're not sure at the moment which time of the day they're gonna release GTAO but do you think they'll tell us before it comes out? It kinda matters since we're all over vastly different timezones
  8. OK I've been trying the stock market but even when I buy stocks at their lowest I still just seem to make a small loss no matter how long I wait. I've finished the story and only did 2 Lester missions so I'll use the remaining ones to make a bit of extra coin. That won't be enough to buy all the theatres and the golf club though so is there any other way to make a good amount of money after that? I'm happy for anything I can grind for about a million a time. I'm just sick of trying my luck with the markets
  9. grove_nz Haven't played an online game in ages. Looking forward to it
  10. I don't have a UV light either but if you hold the back of the map under direct light at an angle you can see that there's writing there
  11. Everything else about Melbourne is awesome. I love the climate and the wages plus the general dynamic of the city. I can put up with the AFL for all that. I've found a bar that'll plays rugby union in the weekend as well which makes things better
  12. I think it works like this: First you get matchmaked with people in your country, then if their are not any or another problem arises you will be matchmaked with people in the continent etc etc. Right, hopefully there will be enough people playing in this region I won't have to worry about lag... The way I understand it is that if you join a crew on the Rockstar Social Club then you'll automatically be joined with them first. There is a few basic crews with massive numbers so it might pay to join one of them
  13. Well it turns out that the JB HI-FI I pre-ordered from is the only one in Victoria that isn't doing a midnight release. So I guess I'll be waiting till after work on Tuesday
  14. AFL is the worst thing about living in Melbourne, it's all they ever talk about. It's such a scrappy game as well. Whenever the players get close together it's like they're playing hot potato so they don't get stuck with the ball. Luckily the seasons nearly over
  15. Well I was keen but I've just worked it out properly and it turns out that it's Monday morning for me not Sunday so I'll be working. I've just got my PS3 sent over from home ready for V but would've been good to have a spin at IV first. Oh well no doubt the same crowd will be around when GTAO goes live
  16. So there should be a good chance that Rockstar release a digital version of the official map today. They released the radio details after they were leaked and I'm sure they are more prepared for this one considering they knew when the strategy guides were sent to retailers.
  17. I've been on the sites since 2004 but I feel like the only time I bother posting is when there's free stuff up for grabs
  18. Over 3 hours to go and I'm so tired... I'll persevere but work is gonna be awful tomorrow
  19. I tried EB Games in Melbourne the day after they announced it but they had already sold out. I managed to get a copy from JB HIFI though. I imagine there's a decent online game retailer (like Mighty Ape in NZ) in Australia as well that might have copies still
  20. After going to 3 stores that were sold out I got the last one available at JB HIFI. Phew...
  21. Bro, better get in quick - they only have 2 per store. EB Games gave me a call because I already had a fitty down on the game so they gave me first dibs. I'm living in Melbourne so I should have better luck than you back home. I always used Mighty Ape in NZ and they never failed
  22. Thanks. Couldn't see anything about the Collectors Edition on the EB Games website but will go into the store tomorrow to check it out
  23. Can someone please explain the difference between the Collecters Edition and the Special Edition?
  24. 7 Days is one of the main reasons I miss living in NZ. Best comedy show ever. I've seen Ben Hurley and Steve Wrigley a heap live and Jeremy Elwood is pretty awesome
