Thieves steal a march on Grand Theft Auto IV

[admin]

First it was music, movies and books but now not even video games can make it to their planned launch dates without being leaked online.

The latest instalment in the controversial but exceedingly popular Grand Theft Auto franchise, which ironically features theft as a central tenet of gameplay, has popped up on various file sharing websites and spread like wildfire over the weekend.

While I suspect most of the people downloading it probably already have the game on pre-order and are only doing it so they can play the game early, I think for a monumental game such as this, it's worth spending the 50 bucks or so for the original.

My order was just shipped via express, and I should get it tomorrow, if not on then on Wednesday (but this is the SE version that I plan to sell off, so the uncensored version I intend to play won't get here until later this week or early next week).

Video game piracy has been around for years... I saw Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire ROMs an entire week before the game came out... not like I was searching for them or anything

I know a few people who are playing the downloaded copy and are not up for buying the game.. We can always hope people will do the right thing, but hope is hardly reality! lol

I have been playing my ps3 copy of GTA4 and its awesome... the only problem I can find is that the game crashes! mine has crashed once! and lets it wont happen often!


BTW I posted a comment mentioning the game being online a while ago! im surprised its taken you so long to post it!
