My friend has GTA IV already!

I found out yesterday that my friend has GTA IV already!!!:mad:
Lol so i was wondering if anyone knew where to get it from before its release.
I know that he has got it because it says on Xbox Live the name of the game!

I want to play it now! lmao

    One of my colleagues has a copy for his XBox 360 from such dodgy source.

    Another has a brother working for Rockstar so he has a copy but can't get any for anyone else.

    Unfortunately I have neither Xbox or PS3 so will be waiting for it to come out on PC (hopefully) in November time - when I shall purchase it!

    yes, it's available to download on a few torrent sites; about 7.13gb (has been for about a week now!)

    It will be a pirate version available through the usual sources such as torrents.

    It wont be as easy to get running as a retail copy I doubt, you are likely to have to have 3rd party software or mess about with the installation files. Be careful if you're thinking about going to find and load it.

    no need to mess with the files, the only thing you need is a chipped 360

    They're still chipping consoles? I'd of thought they'd have come up with a more cost effective way of pirating by now! Oh well, if it was just a software crack then the people in this thread might have had a chance of getting it to work before the actual release comes out, but based on their questions I doubt they are the sort of people to own chipped consoles ;)

    With the Xbox 360 the way pirated games are ran on it is to replace the firmware of the dvd drive. Microsoft do know this happens and frequently ban consoles from Xbox live that have had this done to them.
