Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Plus the bold statement of "We see it all, we
know it all." Oh, and that five star wanted rating of course.
The Sun reports that one fan accessed the site while playing the game
as his daughter is called Lacey and the web address was given as littlelacysurprisepageant.com. Outside of the game this just takes
you to the official Rockstar GTA IV site, in case you wondered. Inside
it's a different matter, and Lacey's dad says "This crosses the line.
It’s disgusting. It could lead people to indulge in things like that.
It is totally sick. I won’t play it again.”
Rockstar have yet to comment on the matter, but I doubt they will be
too fussed. After all, it is publicity like this that has helped propel
GTA IV to break all entertainment sales records by selling more than
3.6 million units on the first day of release and earn USD 500 million
(AUD 526 million) in the first week.
To put that in some perspective, it is more than Halo 3 achieved and
more than the biggest blockbusting Hollywood movie can hope for.
Indeed, GTA IV was blamed for dampening consumer enthusiasm for the
Iron Man movie which opened the same weekend.
