You guys are all lucky. I was so excited when I saw the ntsc version. So I got it in a couple hours... excitedly turned on my 360, which up to right now had no problems only to find out I now have an e74 error(Number 4 red light). SO yeah, before I could even put in my new aquired game, i was screwed. I know its a lil off topic,but have any of you had any ways you have fixed an e74 error? Its not the av cables cause I tried a second one with same error. SO that leaves the "encoder chip" which I have no clue about. If I cant fix it I might just go buy a new one and switch out the good insides and return the good casing with the screwed up shit in it.(I Know im cheap,oh well,kill me)

Amazing game!..
Rockstar is asking the gametags of user for early play.
So don't get your ass online. OR be safe with the memory stick trick.
For me...? Fuck MP! LOL SP is simply amazing enough for me FUCK!

You could also use your hdd if you dont want to buy a memorycard and then format it , reset your console to factory settings and then recover your profile.

Quick Question for you guys.

I know you absolutely should not go on live or have the ethernet connected but is it absolutely necessary to create a seperate profile all together?

The idea of going through the SP missions then having to start again when I use my real gamertag kinda blows.

Can you get by with playing with your regular profile and staying offline?

well dude,

there is nobody here from Rockstar or M$ who might be able to answer your question..

so unless you got a magic crystal ball no one will be able to predict that for sure.

dunno what's with all this bitching about unable to install crap



agree, but still, the dvd is pushing the console to limits... I heard anyway that if u own a premium, its much better than a core. Is there no install option ?




Can someone answer the question ???

It's going to get tagged by a profile either way. If you create a profile and you don't use it on live then the profile will never connect to live when you use it. The only drawback to this is, your acheivment points are now stored in a seperate profile and not in your main one you normally use.

I'm using my main live profile, I just don't have any reason to connect until after Tuesday when the game goes on sale. Then when Tuesday hits it won't matter as everyone will be playing on-line.

If thats the case I'll just use my regular profile and keep the ethernet disconnected until tuesday.

Hell I could play this game all weekend Smile

You could also use your hdd if you dont want to buy a memorycard and then format it , reset your console to factory settings and then recover your profile.


care to write or link to a short how-to for formating and recovering your profile?
and do you lose the savegames, or do they get recovered too with your profile?

If you go to the settings blade, there is an option to format, and also to reset to factory settings. To recover your profile, just press the guide button and there should be an option for that there.

Just burned the NTSC ver. This game is amazing!!! The only thing that threw me off a bit is the characters seemingly sloppy control and the same for the first couple of junk cars you get to drive. (Roman's taxi).

To be safe, i unplugged my wireless and advanced the month to may. Not going online until it's released.

I was playing Multiplayer for a while today, and it is really smooth.. When more people have the game, it will be loads better... The free Roam is fun if you have friendly fire turned ON.

just to give you guys an update (although you didn't seem to be affected with the problem that much anyway):

buying the HDD did the trick for me.

that's the story:
Installed the 20gb HDD loaded the game: Still popups, graphical glitches...frustrating.

then i kept on driving for a bit to test it some more until some time later I notice that the problem is entirely gone! No popups or glitches whatsoever anymore Smile
Loading times are considerably shorter now too!
turned the box off and on a couple of times bc. i couldn't believe it myself but was so far not able to reproduce the problem anymore (with HDD installed)

then i unplugged the HDD just now to be sure and the graphical issues returned instantly.




game is just awesome and to anyone who's experiencing the popup issue on a benq drive i can only recommend to try and play it with a HDD installed.. did the trick for me; been playing for hours straight now with no problems at all Very Happy

on Tuesday the game is out here.. since I'll buy it anyway I'll report if the problems reappear with the original disc and HDD unplugged.. until then: well you know where to find me Smile
