Having recently been given a chance to try GTA5 on the xbox 360 I am sadly dissapointed, both the 360 and ps3 fail to run the game with decent graphics or frame rates and are only at 720p, I understand its 10 year old hardware but it just shouldn't of been released in the first place.

This is why I love dell's, They are really well laid out and easy to maintain unlike most acers and advents.

Minor update to what I've been up to, after realising thier fan wasnt working I was given what should be a simple job of finding out why, I stripped the laptop which took about half an hour, took off the cooling assembly, meticulously cleaned the fan, reapplied thermal paste, put it all back together and thankfull it was just gunk clogging up the fan, its now working like a champ, but took about an hour, laptops suck to work on..
