As we reported earlier, GTA: San Andreas is now rated adults only in the United States. Since then Take 2 Interactive shares have dropped, production of the game has been put to a stop, Developers Strikes Back and Hilary Clinton still think "M for Mature" is a rating meant for little children.Since yesterday stores such as Walmart, EBGames, Target and Circuit City have removed all GTA San Andreas copies from their shelves. Even though Take 2 Interactive said they will be releasing a new version in the fourth quarter ,which will not contain any of the sex scenes, retailers including Wal-Mart and Best Buy said yesterday that they were not certain they would carry a cleaned-up version of the game. EBgames, who have about 1500 stores around the US, is only removing it from their shelves for about a week. The company said it will give them enough time to put "Adults Only" stickers on each game. Over all, about 55 percent of retailers who sells the game took the game off their shelves. When IGN interviewed Rockstar Games this is what they had to say about the "Hot Coffee" mod: A patch for the current PC version of GTA: San Andreas is also expected to be released soon. Not only will it have some bug fixes, but it will also remove the sex scenes from the game.

Yesterday, June 21, Sony held a meeting in Japan discussing the Playstation 3 and of course the Sony PSP. In the meeting they revealed the ""Ceramic White" Sony PSP, which will be released on September 15th. There was also a playable Playstation 3 demo which shows that it's coming along pretty well. Speaking of the PS3, Ken Kutaragi said that the Sony Playstation 3 is gonna be rather expensive. Sony hasn't announced any details on the price yet, but a price tag of $400 is expected. Also a PDF document(Japanese) was released shortly after with all the details of the v2.00 Firmware. This update will be up for download from June 27th. Below is the list of features:

well do any of us need those sex scenes? I mean realy... do you realy like go and play SA just to take your girlfriend for some "hot coffee".

well I'm sure if he knew this was gonna happen he wouldn't have done this. Damn I still can't believe a Grand Theft Auto is rated "Adults Only" !!

yeah its great! I can't wait for them Gamespot and IGN previews. Not so long though...

It would be totaly unneccasary. I sense a lazynes....

now there's something you don't see everyday

yeah its certainly a article to show your parents if they say you should stop playing games

Yeah basicly I can do anything with the site I want, but that would be lame as mister MVI said.

In the book "Everything Bad is Good For You" by Steven Johnson he writes about how movies, tv shows and especialy video games are actualy making you smarter. He says this kind of education you get is not coming from classrooms or museums, but it's happening in living rooms and basements, on PCs and television screens. Further research also shows that children who play video games have more confidence in themselves and will easily participate in classrooms, ask questions and can stand up more for themselves, as they learned inside the video game world. If you are interested in this book you can buy it from Amazon for around $16.

Look at that!" said former President of the United States Bill Clinton when he played GTA San Andreas with the hot coffee mod installed. Now that’s what I’m talking about!” said Clinton, as he deftly manipulated the joystick. “Woo-hooo! How’d you like a little cream with that?” Clinton ended the game shortly thereafter. “That’s the most bad-ass game I’ve ever played. No wonder Hillary is all up-in-arms. That’s the most fun I’ve had since…well…since a week or two at least. That game is sick! I give it my thumbs up-way up.” To read the full article and more spoof visit the ever so popular TheSpoof! Also something great that some of you may have seen on the web in the past few hours is that a kid posted a few images of him playing with the Xbox 360 over at the Gamespot Forums. He claims that his dad just started working at Microsoft as a "Regulatory Compliance Manager"..... what he doesn’t know is that he most likely costed his father's job! The kid literaly begged the forum moderators to delete the topic, but the images can still be found over here.

why thankyou

no never have seen it. Could you tell us more what happened?

well maybe cause I have written alot of the content pages and Im a Admin at the site, so yeah I do have FTP acces.

dont say that, they cant bomb him, rather the lives of innocent people.

<img src="http://thegtaplace.com/images/news/lvs.jpg" width="200" height="150" border="1" align="left">For a few weeks now a great team over at LVS was busy implementing Liberty City and Vice City into the map of San Andreas. Currently they are finished with GTA 3's Liberty City around about 50% and have released 2 screenshots so far. They promise to be releasing alot more info and screenshots in the coming days so we'll keep you posted on that. For now visit the official site by click here.

Hilary Clinton just wants to show what she can do in the country. She want to stand up so that people regonize her, when the next Election comes she will probably be President.

I recently spoke to my good friend Lil Jay from YoungMaylay.net and when I asked him what does Young himself say about these sex animations, he claimed that Young Maylay never even did those scenes. That the game was hacked. So this could mean the folks at Rockstargames could have used someone elses body to do the motion capturing for the animations seen when unlocked using the Hot Coffee mod or using the Armax codes.

shit that is amazing! the stats. Oh and USA should have put a law a long time ago so that retailers cant sell M rater games to minors. Lol imagine a 8 year old walking into a store and saying "whadup G, give me San Andreas biath!"

Just want to say happy b-day to staff member muad'dib/MVI. Also if you havent seen the new skin then click here

SA-MP so far looks the best and has the best sync. Which will be released in a few weeks time. http://sananarchy.com/ is coming along well and I believe http://sa-2p.com also. We will have all of the latest on Multiplayer mods on this site as time goes by.

Yeah if it says in America it will probally go down to South America like Brazil or Mexico.

yeah you needed to start a new game, you cant use your old save files. You will start as the game normally starts but all girlfriends will be availible at their houses.

yeah I know, the horror....

Here is a teaser shot from "TGP horror". PLease kids dont look now!
