I wanted to make this thread so we can put all our GTA V info into it. What you find, cars, easter eggs, easy ways to make money etc. Any sort of useful info, or when we do get to play online we can use this thread to plan to play. Pretty much anything GTA V goes here.

Great review here: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-08-29-diablo-3-console-review Another really in-depth article on the difference in graphics between versions: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-diablo-3-face-off My thoughts: I can be silent no longer. I almost did not post this because I figured not many around here play consoles anymore so why would anyone care? Then, I figure there might be someone. I picked this up the other day and it is way better than the PC version. Why you ask? Gone is the real money auction house and in place of that is an increased chance to find items in the game itself as it should of been all along. Sure, there …

Rapper Daz Dillinger has sent Rockstar a cease and desist letter, after accusing the developer of using his music in Grand Theft Auto V without paying him. TMZ reports that Dillinger's tracks "C-Walk" and "Nothin' But the Cavi Hit" are included in the game, despite Daz having turned down Rockstar's "offensively low offer of $4,271.00 for both songs."

Take a trip down memory lane. Microsoft is giving away Halo 3 this October if you still have gold.

I love this digital foundry. Such a cool site and super in-depth analysis of the different versions of a given game on how they perform across the different consoles or PC. They really test a game to its limits. If you can only buy one version use this to make your decision. The results here will surprise you. This one is a PS3 vs. 360 Faceoff of GTA V http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-grand-theft-auto-5-face-off My little summary if you don't want to read the article:

Wow 9 days away till its finally in are hands..... Everyone is excited but what is everyone looking to do with it first??? Online game play, missions, freeplay, explore, gang fight, raise wanted level, make custom car and guns, hunt, or just hit it extreme with offroad, big jumps and skydiving......... I really want to see the wildlife in hunting and exploring.... hoping the online can be more controlled than in red dead.....sucked you couldnt spawned in with out their being that one asshole that wouldnt even let you play the game and killing you every step of the way....but any ways what do you all think??

While the Xbox 360 dashboard allows users to install any game disc they choose, Rockstar advises against installing the play disc. "For optimal performance, we recommend not installing the play disc," it said via Twitter. No specific reason is given, but we suspect it is related to the way the game likely streams data from both the hard drive and Play disc simultaneously to achieve the fastest possible load speeds.

Did anyone get this game? The last couple splintercell games were poo, but at least the last one had a really good co-op mode. I'm more excited for the return of spies vs. mercs. It was my favorite multiplayer game before they changed it in Double Agent. The excitment of being a spy who is so weak against the other playes. And the paranoia of creeping through dark rooms with only a flashlight hunting for shadows. It really was just perfect. And then they took out all the cool gadgets and dumbed it down. If anyone has it you have the duty of posting a review for me. And if not, guess I'll have to get it payday.

Alright i know its long but thought it was put together pretty well lot of fun facts about Gta growth over the years.......And for you PC guys i think what they said at the end of the video sounds True to me......Around 58 or 59 minute mark if you dont want to watch the whole video

Xbox has finally gotten rid of microsoft points and has now put a dollar amount out for purchases...... If you had a blance of Microsoft points they replaced with a dollar amount equal to what you had left on your account......Thank god no more having to think how many point packs do i need to buy something...

Any one know any info about xbox family pack gettting canceled??? I'm guessing its for the release of the new xbox one so they can switch ppl one by one maybe??? And any one know how they plan on paying back or crediting my account..... i have my cuzzins on my account and we all pitch in and just paid another year like two monthes ago.. And info or links to this info would be greatly appecated

I took the plunge on it. My daughter was begging for the game since it is one of her favorite series. I have spend a good 4-5hrs with the game and I gotta say I am really liking it. I had some doubts but I am not bothered by the map being the same like I thought I would. The absence of the day/night cycle has not even come to mind yet. The missions have been fun and the super powers breath new life into the game so far. I can't think of a whole lot of other games where you can fully customize your character that has super powers in a open world with fun addictive missions. Cool thing is you can still do all the things you could before. I am happy so far.

I would love to play this online with you guys!!

12 minute Pre-Alpha Footage http://www.ign.com/videos/2013/08/15/12-minutes-of-dying-light-gameplay

Too funny!!! They have back peddled on nearly every single policy they have made since announcing the xbone. http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/08/12/xbox-one-no-longer-requires-kinect-to-function They are still shipping Kinect with the system but I bet there is one more final 180. The one where they make a version that does not come with Kinect at all for $100 cheaper to put themselves in-line with the PS4 pricing. 180 marketing at its finest!

An Xbox rep reportedly told One Hit Pixel, "I can confirm that Game DVR features will be available to Xbox Live Gold members only." The Game DVR feature allows the new console to record gameplay clips at 720p and 30 frames per second, and share them with others via Xbox Live. According to chief Xbox One platform architect Marc Whitten, the DVR function - which records in-game footage straight to the Xbox One cloud - will feature a fixed resolution and frame rate irrespective of the game's native settings. Xbox One will automatically record the last five minutes of a user's gameplay, and gameplay footage can also be streamed live to Twitch TV. http://www.computerandv…

Wow I had my doubts cause as you know I did not like GTAIV too much. In fact I hated it for many reasons lol. This game however looks pretty good from this new gameplay vid. I didn't really care for the three characters they announced and still don't but they could grow on me. This game looks like it has so much cool stuff to do it could be hard to pass up. We will see. If it wasn't for the open world and all the stuff to do I would not be interested so much. This video at the link below looks brighter and cleaner than the Youtube one for some reason: http://www.gamespot.com/grand-theft-auto-v/videos/grand-theft-auto-v-first-official-gameplay-6411190/?tag=Topslot%…

It was fine as a mobile game for .99 cents but the greed of this franchise knows no bounds. http://youtu.be/x0VulZxp_60 Article: http://www.gamespot.com/news/angry-birds-star-wars-coming-to-consoles-6411637
