LOL.. Its more because the fact that we should be past having to have multiple disks for a game at this point. And the PS3 version from what I've read is the superior version.. I have both consoles, and I usually want to buy the better version of the game that comes out on those consoles. Which is why I bought GTA4 on 360 instead of the PS3.
got this last night and played for a couple hours.
I was a little worried I would want it to be more like GTA and would get bored and try to run off on my own and have the urge to kill random people but the game keeps you busy and interested enough to not even think about it. I like this game, a lot different from everything else and I find enjoyment in solving cases looking for clues, interrogating, etc.

Update 2: Sony and Rockstar Games have issued the following joint statement.
"We have received a very small number of customer support questions about PS3s overheating or shutting down while playing L.A. Noire. At this time, Rockstar Games and Sony can confirm that neither L.A. Noire or firmware update 3.61 are causing the PS3 hardware to overheat. We are both committed to working hard to find solutions to this and any issues that may arise. If you are experiencing any issues with L.A. Noire or your PS3 hardware, please contact technical support using any of the means provided below:
Rockstar Support
Rockstar Support on Twitter
PlayStation 3 Support"
Update 1: A Sony spokesperson has told EDGE that the firmware 3.61 is not responsible for L.A. Noire overheating issues. Sony also went on to say that "Rockstar have now updated their FAQ on the matter, have admitted that it is a fault with their latest title LA Noire and have offered a work around. It should also be noted that the issue with this title is not PS3 specific and is also affecting other consoles."
Rockstar Support is advising affected users to delete their game data (not their save data) from their PS3 or clear their cache on Xbox 360. Rockstar are currently describing such incidents as "isolated crashes."
Original Story: Sony's 3.61 firmware patch for the PS3, which attempted to secure consoles after the PSN breach, could be making older machines freeze or switch off.
This claim originated on an official Rockstar support page. However, this page has since been taken down, and Rockstar have stressed that this was not an official statement. The information was sourced by a member of their customer support team from the European PlayStation boards.
When the page was active, Rockstar support detailed "reports of PS3s overheating while playing L.A. Noire or beeping three times before shutting down/turning themselves off, mostly on older 60GB and 80GB fat models."
And that it was "confirmed locally that multiple games (Rockstar and non-Rockstar) overheat or freeze only when 3.61 is installed."
Again, Rockstar have stressed that this was not an official statement. When contacted for comment, Sony said, "We don't comment on rumours or speculation about our products."

I like the game, its a nice change of pace. After gaming for 20+ years the same old shoot em up games get boring after awhile. I think the interrogations are dope and they did a damn good job with the face motion capture. My only real gripe with the game is it seems like it came out too early because the framerate is terrible, especially when there are a lot of trees on the screen. The game is pretty choppy for such a big release.
