GTA IV: Microsoft and Rockstar tracking Gamertags before April 29
April 22nd, 2008 @ 18:46
Rockstar sent out an email this evening to all those in the UK scheduled to receive their copies of GTA IV this week, asking them to provide information on which platform they’d prefer to play on and their online IDs.
Update: The email we published yesterday has been removed at Rockstar’s request.

Hmmm I’ve not had that email. Maybe we shouldn’t have given a score under 8 to the Xbox 360 version of Bully.

LOL at asking for which format gamers would prefer.

I’ve not had that email either. I’m starting to wonder whether I’ve done something to piss Rockstar off, too.

The PS3 is GTA’s new home.

It’s really sad to see VG247’s message boards go the way of Eurogamers’
Any chance the trolls can be moderated away?

If you think Eurogamers comments are bad you have lived a sheltered life. Now man up and give me some counter arguments.
April 22nd, 2008 at 8:48 pm
I think we’re not serious. At least, I hope Tonka’s not serious.

No I’m not. And I’ll stop it just for you Robo_1. I’m stuck with a boring project and overtime. Trying to vent my frustrations by faning the PS3 vs 360 GTA flames.

@Tonka
I just find it tiresome and petty. I grew out of this “mine is better than yours” shit years ago mate. I’m an educated gamer and I know what systems I own and the reasons I invest in them.
If the thread had been about the PS3 vs 360 then fair enough, it’s the fact that some gamers have to bring up the format war in every bloody comment section that I find boring.
You’re clearly busting to go 100 rounds with a PS3 fan of similar conviction, and hey, go right ahead, I actually find them entertaining as hell. All I’m saying is, it gets boring when a handful of individuals feel the need to turn every comments section into the same old thing.
Up to now I’ve seen the VG 247 comments as how Eurogamers’ were before they became a fanboy zoo, it’d be a shame to see this place go the same way.

But this “GTA has a new home” nonsense has to be a joke, shirley?
April 22nd, 2008 at 9:32 pm
Freaky - I’m watching Airplane now, and that gag has just been cracked

Didn’t Peter More say that “GTA has a new home” sound byte before he got fired? I know someone at MS said that they would own the GTA launch.
April 22nd, 2008 at 10:01 pm
I dunno, probably, he did come out with some shit. All that bollocks is what makes Moore, Hirai, etc. entertaining.
Sony can release the PS3, but THEY WILL WALK RIGHT IN TO HALO 3.
Or whatever.

Not long now
@Robo_1: thats what I’m worried about, to be honest I think we’ll have to enjoy it while it lasts (tonka’s just the first of MANY to come).
@Tonka: you just admitted your trolling, there’s a million other sites you can go pick a fight and spout your little catch phrases on…. your a child

Guys, guys, guys! You’re missing the most obvious:
VG247 is GTA’s new home.
Amiright?

There isn’t a VG247 banhammer. Board rules apply to comments too - you need to sort it out amongst yourselves. Picthforks at the ready.
