Should be adequate. Tests on previous games with pop-in/texture streaming problems such as Rage, Skyrim, Mass Effect, etc (this is a very common thing and GTAV is far from the first game with this issue) showed that agood7200rpm drive was a significant improvement in game performance and generally eliminated issues that a stock drive would have. SSDs were only very minor improvements over the good 7200 drives due to the various limitations of the systems, though they do have the added bonus of 0 noise.
No way, I took the plunge and went for the $400 full 15,000 RPM drive for my PS3 console that I bought for $300 that is going to be obsolete in a couple months when the PS4 comes out. You should too if you want to continue posting in this thread, you fucking bad.

You're such a filthy casual compared to Sean. Do you know how many world firsts he had by 2005?

I still don't know why I cared as much as I did about that stupid fucking game.
I blame the fact that I was always really really into D&D as a kid, but never had anyone to play it with. So once I was able to raid a dungeon with 40 other people, that was like my D&D addiction finally got fed times 1000000000.
Really stupid decision to quit my job to play that stupid game though. It really was.
That liquor store I worked at was the shit.

I missed the EQ boat
Really wish I'd missed the WoW boat.
I can still remember the day WoW came out. I hadn't been paying attention AT ALL. I think I signed up for beta at one point, and even got in, but never actually played it or anything.
Pretty much I just ignored it. Then I went out one day to buy a gameboy or something. I can't even remember now. Went to a gamestop, the place was literally packed, it was right after they opened and I guess everyone was picking up their release date WoW copy.
I hopped over to Best Buy so I wouldn't wait in line, and sure enough there was a WoW collector's edition on the shelf. I think I tried warlock first, and didn't understand why when I hit the attack button, I would stop attacking. That's how noob I was to MMOs. In fact I think I meleed all the way to like 17 with the warlock before I rerolled a rogue. Something just clicked. I got hooked. It was literally like a drug addiction. The closest thing I've ever come. I even smoked cigarettes for years, but hated them, and when I quit, just put them down and never had an urge to smoke one again. but something...just something about that game clicked and my whole life reprioiritized around playing it as much as possible.
It took a long time to move past that. I regret it but I can't change it, so I tried to learn from it. Now I play MMOs for like a week or two, and then just stop. I dunno why. I try to find time and try to play them, but can't bring myself to.
Its funny how when we're being short sighted, we can miss the bigger picture, and lose the thread on our life for years if we allow it.

Be careful, I had a someone rage on me and try to neg me for even suggesting such a thing.
Not sure if this was posted before, here's the details on GTA Online's microtransactions:http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...rices-revealed
Little bit of pay to win there.

What's the limitation with the PS3 where SSDs are only minor improvements over 7200RPM drives? Does it have shitty SATA or is there some other bottleneck? I was thinking about throwing one in, but if the upgrade is negligible probably not.
