Looks like if we do indeed have single layer in the US, you UK'ers will have to import.

Actually it sucks that a game that was made in the UK was about a place that is in the US.

Rockstar Games, publisher of the hugely popular crime series Grand Theft Auto, has issued a statement in reaction to the embarrassing theft of the latest title in the series, GTA: San Andreas.
The publisher has stated that it is ‘aggressively pursuing’ the people responsible for the theft, while hoping to stop the game from filtering around hundreds of Internet file-sharing sites.
The statement reads: “The proper authorities are investigating the theft and are continuing to investigate all possible leads to ensure there is no further dissemination of our creative content. Downloading, possession and distribution of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, including making the game available on the Internet, is theft.
We take the theft of our intellectual property very seriously and we are and will continue to diligently and aggressively pursue this matter. If anyone finds information on websites with links to unauthorised downloads, information, scans or videos, please contact us at
[email protected]”
This is the latest game to be stolen and posted on the Internet in a year that has seen many highly anticipated titles, including Doom 3 and Halo 2, leaked onto the Internet before the official retail release. The theft will not affect the planned release dates of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, currently scheduled for October 26th in the US and October 29th in Europe.
warez has goten out of hand, also even rockstar have said the game is DL, ive also heard that the version on the net some of the sound have been downsampled
I'm getting excited now!!! :D:D:D:D:D
Roll on Next Friday (I've had this thing pre-ordered since June 26th) :)
i already downloaded it when it was leaked, ill be willing to send it to any1 in the uk for £15 . btw great game
:P
wont spoil it for ya all tho
If I were a mod, I'd ban you right here! :mad:
Who the hell do you think you are? What right do you have to sell something you shouldn't be selling, let alone shouldn't be downloading... :mad:

Yes it is the full version which you can download but the one in the store will come with a bonus dvd which includes intros to the game explaining what happened with his family and why he is back and various music and other bous items. This is where the confusion came from with the dual layer dvd, you can believe it or not i dont care but the fact is the downloaded version is full minus that bonus dvd and once that comes out i will have that too.

Do you think play.com will actually have it to my door step on the 29th?
I have the same question :D

I'll concede, just so this thread does not turn into a "The UK is better then the US" type thread. :)
Back to GTA, play.com better deliver on time damnit. The very first thing I Ordered from them was the Star Wars Trilogy Box Set, ended up getting it 3 days after release. Hopefully, I get this game this Friday. Also, they better drop the price of the Game. After ordering it last Thursday, I was just browsing other sites, when I relised that Amazon had it up for £29.99. I thought cool, I paid that. Only just relised that play.com have it up for £32.99. I could swear, they had it up for £29.99 VERY recently too. And before anyone calls me cheap, I can buy almost 2 pints with that price difference (and depending on the nights I go out. I can get 3 and at this one place, 6! :D)
Status is still says Preordered for the people that care.
So is the game DL or not?
Well Rockstar themselves have said that the game is DL, cant find the link at the moment, but I'm sure the relevant press release is on the Take 2 Corperate Site.
Concerning that bonus content newfnshow715 is chatting about. I thought that was just for people who reserved the game at some US Chain? (Cant remember the name)
Either way, I guess you Americans find out tomorrow (Tuesday), where as people from the UK/Europe find out Thursday/Friday. (I bet the game gets its street date broken anyway)
