Grand Theft Auto IV leaked online

Internet Watermark image
sAt approximately 1:45AM EST the Xbox 360 version of Grand Theft Auto IV was leaked onto the internet. According to our X3F tipsters, who better plan on actually buying the game, thousands of users are leeching the 6.36 GB potential game of the year candidate. The release is a rip of the PAL version, specifically from the Asian market, and comes a mere six days before retailers place the game on store shelves.We don't want to get on our soapbox here but we hope our readers would shy away from downloading a full version of the game, especially considering the team at Rockstar North have garnered near-perfect review scores for the release. Why? Well, it's illegal kids ... actually come to think of it, this leak is deliciously ironic. Isn't it?

I was fortunate enough to get a copy of a game from my employer a few months back, and I got it about a week before it shipped in the states. When I took it online, there were two people here playing it, and wh0ring for points. I asked how they got their hands on it early (as I knew it hadn't shipped to retailers yet), and they both said, 'We downloaded it from a torrent site and burned copies.' I said, 'Oh, okay,' and then I quit out of the room, and then I reported them to Microsoft. Hope they got banninated. It makes no difference if it's my company or not ... don't be a dick.

If you can't support the good games and the companies that make them, you're hurting the industry. Look at what happened (and is still happening) to the music business....

 I always thought that video games, especially for consoles, were untouchable to this kind of piracy... but unfortunately I am proved wrong by some ignorant people.

The people that download this are not the same ones that will be making the purchase.  Keep in mind you can not just download it and burn it and play.  You have to modify your dvd firmware which Microsoft can detect.  This will get you banned from live.
