Just bought it :)

I have the 360 version and I was seriously considering getting the PC version after someone finally found a way to get custom real-life cars into the game, i.e. Lamborghinis and Porsches, but I was held back by the Rockstar social crap and of course the terrible performance.

The only disappointment though is that the expansions aren't free but as long as they aren't too expensive I don't mind paying for them, since they're real long meaningful levels added to the game and not simply a bunch of multiplayer maps that could be easily user-created.

Too bad the performance blows

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

The performance is better!
I've caught myself with about 50 fps avg, with 120fps at times! :D

Still a waste of money though, the performance blows donkey nuts.
