A peek at Gamercard aggregator MyGamerCard.com reveals a long list of Xbox 360 users already racking up achievements on Grand Theft Auto IV since an illegal torrent of the game was leaked yesterday and early copies started showing up in people's homes.
Neither Rockstar nor Microsoft itself have yet responded to Kotaku's requests for comment. Neither has Sony commented on any action it might take regarding video of the game being played on its network — video that GameTrailers, for its part, has since pulled — so it's unclear yet how any of them plan to address the software pirates.
Xbox Live's Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb, did say, however, that he was unable to comment yet due to the "need to look into this further," so we can assume that Microsoft, at least, is investigating.

Intertoys doesn't exsist I did the smart thing of looking on Google Maps for the location and it doesn't exsist so this is a fake.
-
I will see tommorow at my local Game store to see if it has. But I bet this is fake because Take 2 won't be able to do this. Plus they would have said on their website

I am, plus I think this could actually have gone into my topic:

But the only thing is that Game is only open for people you have preorderd it, people who haven't they have to wait for the normal opening time.
So your saying if you pre - orderd it you get it the day before it comes out?
No. What im saying is this. If you have already preordered the game from Game, they are opening the store for one hour on Midnight Tuesday 29th 2008 at 12AM. And people who haven't preordered they will have to wait untill the shop opens in your area.
Plus the one hour opening is from Game only. GameStation and HMV are not doing it for some reason.

I already new it was happening, I think thats kinda gone old because, anyways for the UK it was confirmed ages ago

I have just called 'Game' and they said thay are opening their store in Carmarthen at Midnight (Tuesday 12AM) for 1 hour (and aswell for most 'Game' stores) for people who have preordered I will update this once I have contacted Gamestation and HMV.
-
Ye they should do what XBOX do with cheaters, instead of wiping your gamercard points, they will just make sure your account doesn't go up the ranks, for like 24hrs if you cheated
-
I know the manager of my local 'Game' store, and she said that at midnight on Tuesday 29th 12AM she will open the front door just for me so I can get it early, because I buy games from there every week since it opened 8 yrs ago.
(Joke) But I am going to try.
-
Now why can't they do that in the UK.
-
Aw the PS3 version for the Aussies. looks good
-
Im getting it from Game, not the online shop but the store, so I can make sure I get it and the postman won't nick it

Fears have grown that copies of Grand Theft Auto IV might be mistakenly sold ahead of its official release date, after its publishers announced that the game was being delivered to retailers.
Details of the game, which gets its global launch on April 29, have been kept a closely guarded secret by its maker, Rockstar Games. However, many fans fear that shops may unwittingly sell the game to customers early, and that information about the plot and the ending will be leaked on the internet.
"The game is in production and in trucks en route to retailers," Ben Feder, chief executive officer of Take Two, Rockstar's parent company, told shareholders at the company's annual meeting.
Such is the secrecy surrounding the highly anticipated game that only a handful of journalists have had the chance to play it, and most were only shown snippets rather than entire missions and levels.
Industry analysts expect fans to buy about six million copies of the game in the first week of sale alone, raking in around $400 million (£200 million) for Rockstar Games.
If so, it will smash the previous entertainment record, set last year by another video game, Halo 3, which sold five million copies in its first week when it was launched in September. Grand Theft Auto IV will be available on both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Halo 3 was exclusive to the Xbox 360 platform.
Fans are certainly entitled to worry about details of the game being leaked ahead of its release. Last year Argos sold copies of Halo 3 before it was officially released, blaming a "genuine administrative error" for the mistake.
Rockstar Games will hope that by imposing a global release date for Grand Theft Auto IV, it will avoid some of the issues that surrounded the Halo 3 launch. On that occasion, the game went on sale in the US and Australasia a full 24 hours before it was released in Europe, and lead to clips of the game and the ending being posted on the YouTube video-sharing site.
Grand Theft Auto IV, the latest instalment in the hugely successful, critically acclaimed and long-running franchise, follows the fortunes of Eastern European immigrant Niko as he turns to a life of crime in the US.
Take Two, the parent company of Rockstar Games, is currently locked in a takeover battle with another high profile video game publisher, Electronic Arts. On Friday, EA dropped its bid for the company from $26 per share to $25.74, and extended the deadline for the offer until May 16.
"EA continues to believe that the offer price is full and fair, and that a transaction between Take-Two and EA is the most compelling combination financially, strategically and operationally for all parties," said the company in a statement.
EA originally announced its acquisition plans in March, but Take Two branded the offer "inadequate" and rejected it a week and a half later. The bid then turned hostile as Electronic Arts directly approached Take Two's shareholders. It succeeded in securing about eight per cent of Take Two's shares, but needs to push that up to 50 per cent for its takeover offer to succeed.
Meanwhile, in the United States, a convicted criminal, Jonathan Lee Riches, has launched legal action against Take Two and Rockstar Games, blaming the "sex, drugs and violence" featured in their games for contributing towards his committing identity theft. Riches, currently in prison in South Carolina, also called for the companies to cease distribution of the "newest Grand Theft Auto games".
Riches is a serial litigator - in the past he has filed legal actions against Martha Stewart, Tiger Woods, gossip blogger Perez Hilton and President Bush, among others. According to Fox News, he has also accused Britney Spears of holding him at gunpoint, and alleged that Apple's chief executive, Steve Jobs, employs OJ Simpson as a hitman.

Rockstar Games announced on Friday that Grand Theft Auto IV, published by Take-Two Interactive, has gone into mass production, and it promises a week opener of more than 6 million copies in North America.
Grand Theft Auto IV is expected to be on store shelves on April 29 for the Microsoft Xbox 360 and the Sony PS3 videogame consoles.
Take-Two CEO Ben Feder said the game is "in production and in trucks en route to retailers." The company is predicting large numbers for GTA IV, as much as $400 million, during its first week of sales.
GTA IV begins with Niko Bellic, fresh off the boat from Europe, hopes to escape his past. His cousin, Roman, enters the scene as together they explore fortune in Liberty City.
They are soon dragged into a criminal underworld after they slip into debt by a series of shysters and thieves. The two soon discover that reality is very different from the dream in a city that worships money and status, and is heaven for those who have them and a living nightmare for those who don't.
The game is Rated "M" for Mature on both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
