Posted: March 12, 2010 7:00PM | Author: R* Y
Update: The event has ended. Thanks to everyone we got a chance to play with today, and check the events page for upcoming Multiplayer Events.
Today, get ready for another explosive evening of Grand Theft Auto IV online action in the Social Club Multiplayer Events series, this time on PlayStation 3 via PlayStation Network. As with all these events, you can watch the live video stream and chat with us at the events page for all Social Club members.
Here’s all the details you need to know for tomorrow’s PS3 event.
SPECTATE AND CHAT
Stuck at work or can't reach a PlayStation 3 during our play time? No worries. Come follow all the action at the Social Club Multiplayer Events page with a live streaming broadcast of the entire event. We'll also have a chatbox up and running on game day for those that want to discuss the action as it unfolds.
Look below for specific directions you can follow to get online, grab a partner, and jump into the fray!
HOW TO FIND US
Grab a multiplayer friend and start up Team Deathmatch via Party Mode using the in-game cellphone. We're playing doubles again so make sure your team size is two. By starting up Team Deathmatch from Party Mode, you will be automatically placed in special lobbies together with us and other event participants. More info on using Party Mode is listed below.
NEED A PARTNER?
Hit up the chatbox during the event or just post your PSN ID in the Comments section below.

ABOUT PARTY MODE
Party Mode is an easy way to get your group together and find matches. Here are the 3 quick and easy steps to get you up and running:
- Save your current game. To get started, fire up the in-game mobile phone by pressing "Up" on the D-pad. Select Multiplayer > Party Mode > Yes.
- From here, open up your phone again and select the Friends option to invite your friends (you need at least one friend to play with Rockstar).
- Once your team is ready to roll, open up the in-game phone again and select Games > Team Deathmatch for this event.
Again, please be sure that you enter the lobby in a group of two if you plan to get matched up against us and other players for the event.

@Shlomi dead right brother, there were far too many keyboard-tards blocking it up for real people.
@R* Y If R* could implement a sign up system it would a) help to get rid of random spammer fools b) let you know how many GTA'ers you have to deal with in that paticular session. However I understand ideology is sometimes limited by techological reality, in other words I'm no programmer/developer so the feasabilty aspect is not something I can have any insight on
Hope to see you both in my sights diving behind a wall soon
Peace

@abstractbymark gotcha – we’ll look out for you in the next PSN event – tough to guarantee anyone a play since things move so quickly during the event, but we do our best to get as many as possible. Hopefully see ya then

My PSN ID is "Green_Hat" and my bro who sat waiting with me is "Migwel13"
We are massive fans and felt gutted when the event ended. Hopefully we can play in the future and I'll kick yo asses. All fun aside I do think you should make people sign up in the week before to guarantee a game. I mean you think this is busy wait until the release of TLATD and TBOGT, your servers will melt with happy ps3ers base jumping and what-not
