PC here, the GTA4 port was iffy at first, but Rockstar have actively kept it up to date and it runs so much better now. Pretty much if your videocard has GDDR5 memory, GTA4 runs flawless. Modable, full pc-settings, I consider it a proper port.
My local Gamestop (a very small one) is doing a midnight launch. Any other console buyers check at your stores. Since I'm always up at that time I'll probably go pick it up.

Since Diablo 3 is releasing on the same day, basically every store will be doing a midnight launch.
I keep forgetting Diablo 3 is coming out this week! Hopefully that doesn't bite too hard into MP3 sales, and there's people playing it online over the next weekend.

I think it'll be fine, since it's the console launch and consoles have a fairly big audience that basically just plays console games. I imagine it will be a little less populated than it normally would be, though.
Are you the magic man?

Well, since the PC version for MP3 isn't out until the end of the month, and since they are two completely different genres, I don't think Diablo 3 is going to hurt Max Payne 3 sales TOO much.
Edit: Putting together a Crew and need name suggestions. Thinking about '82nd St Baseball Bat Boys', but I'm open to suggestions.
It was a pain in the ass to finally be able to request an invite, but I did it. Can't wait to get my Max Payne 3 on!
Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.

It's also a pain in the ass to actually accept new recruits. C'mon, Rockstar, no 'Accept'/'Deny' button? I actually have to go to their profile and Recruit them when they've already made the request to join?

Hopefully my recruiting worked, Skull.

It worked, how exciting! Accepting the invite was pretty painless, at least :rotate:

@BritishDavid I just put a recruitment thing in your Rockstar notifications
ASsdjfasdlkfjasdklfjsdf, a week and a half until I get to play this. God damniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.
EDIT: Oh wait, duh, I can just leave my laptop at my gf's house and have it download everything on Tuesday and pick it back up Wednesday. BRILLIANT! At least I can play the SP then.

I thought the PC version wasn't releasing until the 29th...
Can we get a link to the Crew page? I had made one for some friends and found making an Emblem was a little crazy. You have to go through all these options to create then use that emblem.
Social Club Crew registration has only been open for a few short days and already we’re seeing rivalries fostering between storied internet communities, very ill original Emblem Editor creations, and allegiances being forged amongst our longtime Social Club members, #MaxPayne3 Twitter cast members and more. We promise to keep you updated on a regular basis at the Newswire in the weeks and months ahead on the latest news from the Crew frontlines – highlighting those that are dominating the Max Payne 3 Leaderboards and unlocking accomplishments, and those that have managed to catch our eye out there in the community. For now, check out a first roundup of some noteworthy first Founder Crews.
911 NYC, PCC Crew, and Bring on the Payne – these guys have been actively recruiting at the Newswire and on Facebook since well before the New Social Club launched – and we know many of you in Comments have already pledged your allegiance to one (or a potentially treasonous multiple). We’re looking forward to an epic Feud between these warring factions online once Max Payne 3 drops next week.
Enlistment support drive – these guys may be short as yet on members, but big on fun names, emblems and mottos that have caught our attention – have a look: Raging Wookiees (“Don’t anger the Wookiees”), GameTimeAgainNinjas (“There’s only two ways this can end & in both of them, you die), War Kitties (“I am the devil, and I am here to do the devil’s work”), Jimmy Rustlers (“Your Jimmies just got rustled”), Cthulu Catz (“Crew for having a good time. Open to all!”), Los Santos Kings (“Oooosh bang tidy!!!”) and Pattern Baldness (“We’re not ready to let it go… Share your despair. Tear the hair from your enemies.”).
Reddit versus The Vidya (4Chan) – we are not taking sides in this one, but these two communities have planted their Founder Crew flags down and it looks like the beef is on. The Vidya has inadvertently broken the Crew cap of 250 members and soared to over 300 deep – the biggest Crew yet. With that, we've officially lifted the member cap for all private Crews to 300, and are working on lifting it even higher in the coming weeks – in the meantime, the gauntlet has been thrown in Reddit’s direction as Vidya Crew member ThuhPickle states on their Crew page, “Reddit doesn’t stand a chance”…
GTAForums and iGrandTheftAuto – two of the longest-running GTA fan communities Crewing up. Shout to Crew leaders Meta_Pathos and Psyware respectively. But will it be a GTA fan alliance between these two – or a Rampage?
Ready for action – these Crews are growing in numbers and appear to be pretty damn serious about making a mark in Multiplayer: Russian Bears Team (“Turn yourself into a best, get rid of the pain of being a man. Recruiting new members and NOT only Russians. Join and together we will build a mighty and powerful crew”), UK Crew (“Anarchy from the UK, is all about the GMT… We’ll be Bringing the Payne from all UK consoles to everyone else.”), NYC Bloodpack (“Fighting for Peace, Killing for Fun”), Riot Hounds (“Play Hard or Play Chill. Most of all – Play for Fun.”), SFO-Wolf (“Mortis Nostrum Hostilis… Welcome to the den! Home of the tier-one Special Force Operative WOLF!”) and Guerilla Gaming (“Looking for the Best of the Best of the Best to Dominate the Competition.”).
SODMG Gamers – we’ve seen these guys from the SODMG community on Twitter for weeks now getting amped for Payne, even making original songs like “Strapped Up Like Max Payne”. Ready to see all of SODMG flood in to that Crew.
Two gaming community Crews worth noting - WetheGamerz of WetheGamerz.com with an awesome emblem – and of course, NeoGANG – The Official NeoGAF Crew founded by DGSimo. Also everyone can check out the NeoGAF Max Payne 3 OT now up and rocking.
Broken Whiskey Bottles – Finally, a special shout to this Crew for its constituency of faithful Social Club members like ChicagoEnigma, FugetSudo_Jr, emmi18176860, German Scientist, Marney-1, IWIHooligan, and others – as well as for recruiting several of the #MaxPayne3 Twitter cast members like JaclynJimenez, silenthamish, Twisted_AZ, ElvisMarques and Louzer. We’re sure this squad will be a fixture in the daily play sessions with Rockstar and official Max Payne 3 live streaming Social Club events.
I've requested an invite, I'll be on 360 but not until Friday as I suffer from the disability of being British. Fortunately it also leads to a 160% inherent classiness buff (as I'm not a football fan)

Also maybe 'PAX Payne'

Looks like the Crew name and tag are the things you can't edit later.
