Anyone else have a problem with the patch turning GTA4 into crap?

It used to run nice and smoothly. Now I get occasional choppiness or the game will freeze for up to 5 seconds. 10 seconds sometimes. It's enough to make it pretty damned annoying.

I saw a special edition (silver and black w/ big ass GH logo) DS + GH bundle @ Target for $180. DS is $130 by itself.

Yeah, those bundles usually are not any cheaper than buying the items seperately.

I just wanted to do an update. I inspected the disc. I don't know what happened to it, but it had a smudge on it. I never took the disc out of the console though. How on earth did it get sudged? It went in brand new and came out with what looked like a circular water mark on it?

No scratches though so I cleaned it and put it back it. All the freeze ups appear to have stopped.
