    Hopefully gonna be picking this up today. I love the GTA games (Yes, all of 4 of them and the several expansions) and i've no doubt this one will pwn my pance off.

    I was wondering around computer games shops today looking for something else (I too don't own a PS2) the 1st two shops I went in had sold out of GTA:SA already (2pmish) and the third one was only just getting the delivery and had hordes of people hanging around waiting for it to arrive.

    Scary stuff.

    If you were a REAL fan, you would have whipped out a baseball bat and uzi and then worked your way through the crowd.

    Incidentally, I'm told there's no chance in hell of an Xbox version of San Andreas. GTA3 and Vice City were released on Xbox in essence because of a loophole in Rockstar's contract with Sony. After Rockstar exploited said loophole, you'd better believe Sony renegotiated the contract to be iron-clad exclusive rights.

    Pre-ordered mine and got it at 1pm

    It's an awesome game.. i've never heard so much cussing in my life <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I got the game yesterday, it kicks absolute booty! (lots of .. cursing though, but hey, thats cool)

    My favorite things are riding the bikes. My bike skill is so high I can bunny hop two cars in a row (long ways) if I have enough speed.. I can outrun a freakin' train for god sakes, I rock! Plus, the power to make your guy a fast skinny puny man, beefed up muscle guy, or the biggest lard arse you'd ever seen ride a BMX so good, its just awsome. The new aiming system is sweet, no more bad lockons, and you can enter free aim mode, which is a big plus for all you shooter fans. Now GTA3:SA is the firefighter's heaven! You can crouch down, move while crouched, and if your locked onto the person while crouched, you can preform a roll, perfect for rolling out of cover, etc...

    Also, you can hop fences!! :D

    The only funny bit is..... in 3 months in the UK we'll have some kid stealing cars, then the Mirror will run 'Computer Games taught my son to steal cars!' and then we'll have it banned.

    *Sigh*

    I wonder how many of those kids who got it yesterday were 18+, like it's required by the BBFC?

    None of the ones I saw were anywhere near 18, one of them couldn't have been much more than 10 ¬_¬

    Man, this game is nigh on persuading me to stop waiting for my flatmate to try and get his PS2 back off his brother and just buy one myself >_<

    Then you're in for a looooooooooong wait. If I recall correctly, Rockstar said something about a PC version around May. I'm also waiting for it.

    GTA:SA will remain PS2 exclusive as long as Sony pays to keep it exclusive.

    But god knows how long that is... It took them a long time before they let GTA3 and Vice loose.

    /me anxiously awaits PC version.

    P.S. - PC Version + Gamepad for driving = TOTAL WIN.

    You can play two player in some instances, such as killing sprees. I'm sure its possible to mod it online with some work.

    "exclusives" are not forever. console companies couldnt pay developers enough to keep their game single-console. If you think Microsoft wont pay a rediculous amount of money to port SA over to the xbox, then you are very much mistaken
