Opinion and Analysis

I guess those users that have already downloaded GTA IV and have publicly played in online have lots of money and can afford to buy a new Xbox 360, because they're likely to soon discover they are banned from the Xbox Live service.

People have also been uploading "amateur videos" of the fun they've been having in GTA IV to YouTube, but as you can imagine, Rockstar haven't taken kindly to that, and neither has the distributor, Take Two Interactive, who have contacted YouTube to demand the videos be taken down over a little thing called "copyright".

Fellow iTWire scibe, and gaming guru, Mike Bantick, has just pipped me to the post in posting a story on GTA IV, suggesting that the Xbox 360 version of the highly anticipated game is the one to go for, what with extra exclusive packs that Microsoft reportedly paid a motza for.

That said, the PS3 version is reportedly still ultra cool to play, and there is much speculation online that GTA IV will be the game to push the PS3 into the stratosphere... although that, most definitely, is yet to be seen.

So... the graphical murder and mayhem that is GTA IV is about to be officially unleashed onto the world. Strap yourselves in players, it’s going to be one heck of a ride!

And for goodness sakes... buy it. Don't pirate it. You know it's the right thing to do, even if seems pretty cool, too.
