My slim PS2 works fine with SA, and all games load quicker.
Im still going to do Zero's missions before i continue however, i just hate having mission icons on my radar. Damn big Z.
I think you can turn it off in options, but what the hell.

YAY ! i just did all of Zero's missions.
I decided to bite the bullet and keep trying. The first mission i did easy, but, 5 seconds after winning the mission the final transmitter got destroyed. I was like WTF ! 
So i tried again, and again, and again, and after my 5-6th attempt did it quite easily.
Mission 2 & 3 are a little tricky too, but easy after 1 or 2 attempts.

It doesnt need reviving.. 
Oh boy. I bought the GTA:SA official guide book the other day. Im not too bothered, it didnt cost me a penny ( thanks to xmas money from relatives ).
However, im a little annoyed at some of the inaccuracies. For example, i was looking for the 50 horseshoes today in Las Venturas. In the guidebook, one of them is said to be in the back garden of a house. They show you a screenshot, and pinpoint it on the included map.
When you go to the exact place in in the game ( by matching the book's map to the game map, and the radar on screen to the one in the screenshot ), the house doesnt exist. In its place is a large building. There is no back garden, and to make matters worse, the pinpoint on the map in the book telling you where it is, is in the wrong place. Usually a good 1-2 inch away on the page to where the horseshoe actually lies !
Its the same with the Photo opportunities in San Fiero. You go to where one is said to be in the book. When you get there, a wall or building will be different and the photo icon you have to take a picture of is usually a good 50m away from the screenshots in the book. To make matters worse, in the book they're all pretty much at CJ's level. In the actual game, many are about 100m in the air !
So, im right now. Ive had official guides like this before, where the guide does not even come close to the real game. I can remember in the official Tomb Raider 3 guide, which claimed to show you the location of all secrets at the front of the book missed quite a few out, the author saying ' we couldnt find them '. Not exactly official then is it !
So, the only comforting thought is that i got the guide for SA for free.
But it'll be the last official guide i ever buy, whether its my own money or not !

You have to complete the driving school by passing the tests in any certificate (gold, silver or bronze). Then, after you complete the Yay Ka-Boom Boom mission ( just complete all missions on your radar ) the car showrooms becomes available to buy.
