Some questions for you guys:

1) How does it differ from the demo? I felt really blah about the demo and was kind of put off from it. Now, everyone is saying it's actually pretty fun. My interest is peaked.

2) Is the music in the game real (copyrighted?) music like in GTA, or is it muzak? :/

3) Is it true there are no other vehicles in the game to operated other than cars? (IE: No Motocycles, no airplanes, no bikes)

4) Are the environments as stale as they appeared in the demo?

5) When you walk into a building, is there a load screen like in GTA or can you just run in and out seamlessly. Also, Do you find the accessable buildings few and far between.

6) Is there random violent acts by NPCs to other NPCs like in GTA? I mean, does the world appear to be living around you?

kthnxbye!

this game rapes the hell outa GTA...
the demo was great.. but they did a great job on the final.. better frame rate. less bugs..
there are no vehciles but cars that is true..
NO load screens ANYWHERE... and more buildings than any other game you can walk into and rob.. or whatever..

real music... old rock from the 80s and 90s.. lots of rap... lots of classical..
I like it .. but then again im old..

the city is beautiful.. large and always alive.. cops chasing other people.. car wrecks and other things going on...

so many real thug like things to do.. no pizza deleiverys.. no stupid fire, taxi, police crap to do.. all real missions like street racing.. protecting hookers... insurance fraud.. etc etc..

great game..
best game out on the 360 hands down..

you cant be serious, i thought this game was horrible and im 24.
it has framerate issues big time! im running at 1080i, and it looks great, until you blow something up or watch cut scenes.

has anyone play enchanted arms?

That sucks, but you can still save 5 dollars.

Go to the gift card section. They have "Gamer Giftcards". It has a $5 off any game/game item $19.99 (or 29, I forget) or over. Go put some money on it (Since you will be buying the game anyways). Then go back, get the game, and use your gift card plus 5 dollars off. It sounds like a lot of work but it takes about 30 seconds.

$54.99 plus tax then

Product Update for SR
We are working on a Live product update for Saints Row. It will fix various problems found after release, in both single and multiplayer.

We are working hard on the update now. Here are a few (but not all) of the issues we expect it to address:

[*]Improvements to the way the game handles packet loss and bandwidth management between players. This will address the issues commonly cited as ?lag?, and general synchronization problems between the players? clients (vehicles/players warping around, etc).
[*]The system for rating a player?s quality-of-service has been improved, and made less conservative. This means you?ll see many more matches with 10-12 player limits.
[*]Fix for the ?clothes stealing? exploit in multiplayer
[*]Fix for widescreen formatting issues in certain resolutions
[*]Changes to Matchmaking phase, to get players in the game faster

Microsoft provides product updates to anyone with a Live connection, even without a paid membership.

Problems using Gang features, timeouts when using Gang menu
Gangs are managed by a dedicated set of servers. During peak hours on release night in North America (Tues 8/29) those servers hit an unforeseen limit. Yesterday (Wed) the server team increased that limit, and since then it appears to have addressed the problems with Gang features.

We?re monitoring this closely, in any case.

Problems joining Party Lobbies
This was actually due to the gang server problem, as described above. The fix for that also addressed the timeouts when joining a Lobby.

A related issue here is the Lobby connect dialog doesn?t allow the player to abort when the gang server is not responding. That particular aspect will be addressed in the SR product update, in case the servers have similar issues in the future.
