    I bought mine at Software ETC. for about $50. I checked Best Buy first, but they didn't have it.

    For those of you who have it:

    What kind of system specs are you running it on? I'm running it on a pretty damn good computer that far exceeds the "recommended" (not minimum) requirements, and it still runs like crap.

    It brings warmth to my heart to see DUM with his old screen name.

    It's a hilarous game for sure. I love picking up street corner girls to regain health. Has anyone hijacked the tank yet? My friend and I did one afternoon

    I've got two tanks outside of my garage on Staunton Island (I use it as my operations base, rather than the projects by the airport, because there are just so many opportunities for mayhem right downtown). I mean, you can also go crazy out by the dam area, but if you go into either that internet café or that loft with the stairs, you can stand the cops off forever and a day...although mine's the PS2 version, and I don't know if this is the same on the PC.

    Favorite trick, though, is using the Dodo plane to go to the hidden floating city.

    Turn down the resolution a bit. That happened to my friend. If that doesn't work, get the newest drivers from nvidia.com.

    It's not what you're asking for, but at least I can give you some form of a response: Sorry, Finney, I don't have anything for GTA III on the PC.

    For those of you who have the PC version, put the 'play' CD-ROM. Open up the Audio folder, and open up the 'LIPS' wav file. Fast Forward the file to the 15th minute, and then speed the play mode to x2. The original GTA soundtrack will sound like Dr. Who.
