For one of the missions you do you gotta get something from AmmuNation then after that its unlocked i think

For those of us with video capture equipment we can all post the quality screenshots we have captured here, I should have mine properly set up in a few days time and I will take some good quality screens and videos. Hopefully more people can do this too.

its just a little bit of added interactivity, maybe someday we will find a better use for it

Gamespot have posted a lot of media and screenshots for you all to view, they probably contain spoilers for those of you who dont have the game yet. I received mine through the post today, 1 day before release date anyway here are the links: Grand Theft Auto San Andreas Media, Grand Theft Auto San Andreas Screens

Stores across America now have San Andreas in stock. Make sure you've got it and get playing. It's hard to believe that it was over 7 months ago (yes, that's right, 7 months!) that San Andreas was officially announced as the next game in the Grand Theft Auto series, and it was over a year ago that we first started realising how the next game would be titled. We've had our up's and down's along the way (web hosts were a problem) but you, the visitors, the regular forum members, we thank you for your loyal support for us throughout our (almost) 2 year existence. As a lot of fans are now furiously playing San Andreas there has been a nice drop in traffic and i'm guessing a lot of you will not be back on this site until you get stuck somewhere in the game and need some help from somewhere. A few staff members and myself will be writing our very own comprehensive guide to the game. We'll start it as soon as all of us have the game, that is on Friday. We will also be posting online guides with screenshots and possibly video guides if they are requested. So we wish everyone good luck with their game and hope to see you in the near future, remember the forums are always a good place to discuss the game and ask for help. I believe Cal will be holding a 'question and answer' topic later today as he picked up his copy last night. Also spare a thought for everyone else with their 3 agonizing, stress-filled, hair-pulling, American-cursing days.

Both Gamespot and IGN have placed their reviews of the game. Gamespot giving it a fantastic 9.6 whilst IGN gave it an outstanding 9.9. From Gamespot's 4 page review: From IGN's 6 page review: IGN have also posted a guide for the game which IGN Insider's can read here Also there are loads more screenshots on both websites showing off the HUD and other things, make sure to check them out too.

Thanks for all your comments, however with the Australia date I get so many different emails on what the date actually is so I have decided to remove it. It is most likely you will get it the same day as us

Many American's will be picking up their copy of San Andreas in a few hours time. The GTA Place will be staying spoiler free over the next few weeks in consideration for the people in other countries, no spoilers will be posted as news on this site. On the forums if you feel you really need to express something then you must give a clear disclaimer before your post. So for example you may write the word 'SPOILER' in capitals then leave a whole paragraph of blank lines to give viewers the chance to look away before unwillingly reading something to spoil their game. It may also be useful to write the word spoiler in the title of your thread. Those members like myself who live in the UK and also in the rest of Europe and Australia may want to stay off the forums throughout the entirety of this week to make sure you stay spoiler free. Thank you for your consideration and co-operation.

Take Two have confirmed in a press release today that Grand Theft Auto San Andreas has shipped to North American retailers for the official release of the game tomorrow. Some retailers have told gamers they will be able to pick up a copy late Monday evening if they've pre-ordered. Those of us living in Europe are still going to have to wait until Friday to get our hands on a copy. Those of you in America who still haven't ordered may want to think about buying from Amazon.com.

yeah but anyway i'll probably make or get someone to make a page with details of the gangs, hey C_N that could be your first job for TGP, make us a gang profile page

Gamespot have posted their weekend update with new information on the gangs in San Andreas, it tells us more about the research R* did on real gangs, the gangs wou will encounter and it also explains the importance of tatoos. There are also 7 screenshots that they added yesterday, here are the links if you are interested. Links: Thug Life, Screenshots

no i'm not allowed, breaches the copyright if I do, then I could get sued by R*

yeah he must have realised now, thanks for the good feedback

Inside Gamer Online are holding a contest where you can win a copy of San Andreas. You must be over 17 years old though and you must live in the USA or Canada to participate. Duplicate entries will be terminated. Head over to the Contest page for a chance to win San Andreas. If you don't live in North America then remember you can still buy the game from Amazon via our site. The links are on the left menu.

Im moving this topic to San Andreas discussion for the time being because Rockstar emailed me about something quite serious which we arent allowed to post or discuss, and this too is something they haven't yet said about but which is just as bad

Head over to the Official Site now and check out the flash radio player, they have 10 stations (listed below) with a short preview clip of each one. They are: * K-DST * SF-UR * CSR * Radio:X * Radio Los Santos * K-Jah Radio West * Bounce FM * K-Rose * Playback * Master Sounds IGN have posted an article on The Soundtracks of San Andreas, they have also updated their gallery with logos of the radio stations which you can see here. Rockstar also tell us that Gamespot should be posting an article later on.

yeah they aren't using the crappy 2d ones anymore

yeah its good but i'm moving it to graphics chat anyway

IGN and Gamespot each have posted a new screenshot on their sites. Gamespots shows a buggy whilst IGN's shows off some of the in game casino gambling. Links: IGN Screenshot, Gamespot Screenshot
