Off-hand, I wouldn't think so. Is your ps3 not hooked up online, making you unable to play a game even offline because of updates? When it try's to sign you in press O to go back. My friend does that and it seems to work.
I am able to play offline, but I never had the time to get my net hooked up for my PS3. I was wondering also, do the updates that Rockstar release make graphics better or what do they do exactly?
