Rockstar has a quick response to whether we should return our PS3 copy of the game for an Xbox 360 version

You noticed that part about it being the PS3 version, didn't you?

    Videogamer was also given some tips on how to combat the freezing experienced on the PS3 version of the game, including:
    • Completely remove the game from the system but leave saves behind. [Reinstall, reinstall, reinstall]
    • Turn the console off for 15 minutes without any cables plugged in, then turn it on and try again. [15 minutes, not 14]
    • Play without access to the Internet.
    • [multiplayer is overrated anyway]
    • Turn off the auto save function and the controller vibration setting. [Who needs that stuff anyway.]
    • Hold it upside down over your head and shake it well. [Ok, I made that one up but why not? It has as much chance of working as the other options.]

    According to Take 2 customer support, "a few cases have resolved themselves" by following these instructions. [...a few cases... ]

      When we asked whether we should return our PS3 copy of the game for an Xbox 360 version, we were advised: "That's a decision that's completely up to you."

Magic 8 ball says "Hell Yes!!!!" Return that PS3 copy for the version that works.

The problem is also affecting the Xbox version. Althought it seems to be more serious on the PS3.

If I can return my XBox 360 version and get a fun game instead ...

Unless you count falling out of helicopters and being run over by your "friends" as actually playing the game.

We seriously have to go online and play some team missions with people who actually know what the fuck they're doing in this game. And no, those times where our game unexpectedly filled up with strangers don't count either.
