They weren't kidding about the amount of detail in the game. From moveable silverwear with it's own physics to watching tv with many (10?) different stations all with something different on and I haven't seen a loop yet.

I actually caught myself watching the tv in the game for around 5 or so mins before I realized that I was watching tv in a game. lol. Then I changed the channel to see a advertisement for a show called "72". Even had the countdown like 24 does (obviously making fun of the tv show 24)

There is quite a bit to do so far, and I haven't even left the apartment :p

The graphics are really good too. Alot better than I thought they would be, especially for a game this large.

If its like the others, than maybe months from now. Give u enough time to beef up the comp.

I would buy a copy, but my 360 is on its way to Microsoft.

I got mine. :p although like i mentioned before, i'm banned from XBL because i got a modded 360, fine by me i rarely ever went online to begin with and i'll wait for the PC MP version.

I just got an email account in the game, and getting jobs via email, and can surf the web that the internet cafe allows...limited sites, but i found a dating page and i clicked "date" to all 9 or 12 of them.

P.I.M.P.

Wonderful. There goes any hope of getting any work done for the next couple of weeks.

I had some guy driving past slowly, ogling a chick on the sidewalk. In doing so, he slowly cruised into another chick crossing the road. He then got out of the car and started apologising furiously, but the girl didn't want to hear it, hehe.

So the question is...

Who's betting this game will sell better than Gears of War or Halo 3?

From a headline I saw this morning, it's projected sales are apparently to put it as one of the biggest selling games of all time. I'm not sure I buy that (previous GTA titles have all sold around 2 million at the most).

I wouldn't be surprised if this one hits the double digits though.

I doubt that's all they sold.
The GTA series has sold over 65 million altogether. San Andreas alone sold over 20 million units.

I reckon GTA 4 will reach the double digits quite easily and very quick :)

If games like NFS:Carbon hit double figures then GTA will easily :D (even if it's released on fewer platforms)

I guess that makes an average of around 6 million a title. I can't find figures that high for San Andreas, but looking at it, Vice City has around 18 million, which would make up around a third of all sales :eek:

1. Pokémon Red, Blue, and Green (20.08 million approximately, 10.23 million in Japan, 9.85 million in US)[18]
2. Nintendogs (18.67 million)
3. Super Mario Bros. 3 18 million)
4. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (17.5 million)
5. Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec (14.87 million)
6. Pokémon Diamond and Pearl (14.77 million)
7. Pokémon Gold and Silver (14.51 million approximately, 7.6 million in US, 6.91 million in Japan)
8. Grand Theft Auto III (14.5 million)
9. New Super Mario Bros. (14.16 million)
10. Super Mario Land (14 million)
11. Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire (13 million)
12. Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day! (12.98 million)
13. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (12 million)
14. Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen (11.82 million)
15. Wii Play (11.51 million)
16. Super Mario 64 (11 million)
17. Gran Turismo (10.85 million)
18. Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day! (10.83 million)
19. Mario Kart DS (10.45 million)
20. Super Mario Bros. 2 (10 million)

Apparently GTA4 is so big that it may effect movie theater sales this weekend.

On my way to work they were talking about an article that said something like GTA4 is expected to sell so many copies that it might actually hinder movie ticket sales (Iron Man comes out this weekend)

If it does, that would just be crazy.
