Yeah, you can't forget about all the talk about the game after it's released, but there most likely will be some dry spots when it is released because we'll be preoccupied with playing it. Once we get some free time from it the forum will be very active with talk about missions and random stuff we found out about the physics and what not.

Exactly my thoughts. If EA gets their hands on the Grand Theft Auto series, it would just die...Hmmm...maybe if EA screws up enough, assuming they buy out Take-Two, maybe they'll sell the rights to the Grand Theft Auto series to Rockstar Games, if they were to leave Take-Two before EA were to buy them out. Then that way the Grand Theft Auto series would be where it's supposed to be, with Rockstar Games.

Yeah, I saw this like a week ago...aren't they sort of copying GTA? That's what I heard.

As you all have heard, Electronic Arts has been attempting to buy out Take-Two Interactive, parent company of Rockstar Games who creates the series we all know and love, Grand Theft Auto. If Rockstar Games decides to go independent they’ll have to leave behind the Grand Theft Auto series, which is owned by Take-Two. So if EA successfully buys out Take-Two, which some say is inevitable, they will own the Grand Theft Auto series. Being that the Grand Theft Auto games from there on would be created by EA, would you still purchase the games or would you be less attracted to the title being that EA created it? I would most definitely be less attracted to the series and would most likely not purchase any more of the games. Rockstar Games are the owners of the RAGE engine, which is being used to create GTAIV, so if Rockstar Games wouldn’t be making the games anymore, EA would have to create their own engine to make it and most of the engines I’ve seen from EA aren’t that great.

Some of you may have already heard that Phil Harrison, current president of Sony's worldwide game studios, is resigning from his position February 29th. CEO, Kaz Hirai, will be taking Harrison's place as president as a result. Because of his resignation, PlayStation Home's completion may take longer than expected or might come sooner than some think. Although the same people are working on it, maybe Harrison had an impact on the delay. You never know. Please post any information you have on this and post your thoughts as well.

Wouldn't that there were two gun shots? There was only one. Anyways, I'm some what a conspiracy theorist, mostly with Area 51 and mainly extra terrestrials.

GTA Net It's considered GTA Network, but the URL is gtanet.

I think GTA Network is already being used and GTA Watch is sort of like Rockstar Watch.

Just use tape, that's what I did.

Yeah, I did that as well...but I have all 5 of them.

...Then why would you reply to it if it says not to? That doesn't make any sense. It's like telling someone not to call you on the phone because you're waiting for another call, but they call you anyways. You WOULDN'T reply to it. THAT'S why it says not to. No where in the email did it say to respond to it. It says to click the link((which I assume was a hyperlink to hide the real link)). And do you KNOW that there was a hidden link????

Well I decided to make my own wanted poster. I made one for Roman...check it out and be sure to let me know what you think.

Nah. It's just the music and a few ads(Epsilon ad, etc..) If you're talking about the stickers, I got them with some things I ordered off of Rockstar Warehouse and in the thing I sent into VRock. Those are almost all of the different branches of Rockstar Games.

Well then copy and paste these suckers into a folder and place them in a word document or something...it's a little tougher to do because you have to center it and stretch it a little in there...at least I had to... ALSO, here's an unofficial/official poster that Rockstar didn't put on their site. Happy posting. Everyone should litter the streets with these. Sort of like how Tommy had those fliers of Candy Suxxx's video scattered everywhere.

Pretty good. Do you think it'll look like that in game? I think they might just go with a black and white map or one that looks like the GPS ones.

Well I don't know about any of you people, but I downloaded the posters available on the official Grand Theft Auto IV site and I printed them out...well the one that I needed. Anyways, if you want your own wanted posters then I suggest you get the PDF files from the site because they print out nicely. If the amount of ink needed to print these doesn't bother you, print some extras out and post them around your town to support GTAIV. Post pictures of where you posted them too if you feel like it. I'm still thinking about whether or not I'm going to do it. Anyways, discuss the posters here if you'd like. EDIT: If you're having trouble getting the posters from the official Grand Theft Auto IV site then copy and paste the pictures below into a folder on you computer. ENJOY!!! ALSO, here's an unofficial/official poster that Rockstar didn't put on their site.

I would totally buy that free stuff that you got if Rockstar sold them on Rockstar Warehouse. Here's a little update of my collection. I also updated my GTAIV Corner.

I thought Gerard suggested 1250... EDIT: I took another shot at it. Might be a bit too plain.

Did you notice where it says "Please do not 'Reply' to this Alert."??? If they're trying to scam you...then why would they say that?

Not only is the idea of the topic retarded, but they keep saying "pwned"...which is actually a typo of "owned", but some how that turned into a new version of it... Sort of like how people say "W00t"...which is also a typo.

I just got the Vice City soundtrack in the mail...a lot smaller than I thought. I'm still deciding whether or not I should open it. I'll take a new picture of my collection once I get the Grand Theft Auto: The Classics Collection in the mail. EDIT: I recieved the Grand Theft Auto: The Classics Collection in the mail about an hour or two after I posted this and when I grabbed it from outside my door I was off to work. So I didn't get a chance to open it until a few moments ago. Anyways, I'll update my picture tomorrow some time.

Yeah, the in game soundtrack is most likely going to be amazing, but if the above is the soundtrack they're giving with the Special Edition then it's shit.
