Grand Theft Auto IV launches in NYC (Channel 9)

We've all been waiting for RockStar Games latest edition of the GTA series...but some of us waited longer than others. I went to Liberty City (aka NYC) to meet and hang with the hardcore fans as they stood in line for hours in the cold hard rain to be the first to get their hands on the game. It's no Halo 3 launch...but it's awfully darn close. Check it out.

the first time you asked - Xbox live is not a platform...it's a service. The correct answer would have been Xbox 360, unless you asked them what online service they would be playing GTA4 on. I'm accustomed to GTA on the Playstation, so I'll probably get the PS3 version to play through the story and the 360 version for online play. Enough said.

Ah, nothing is more fun then waiting in line for a major game release. It is always an interesting group of people all with a similar passion though for great games. I did the midnight release at my local Gamestop as well, and was lucky enough to be the seventh person to get the game that night. And kudos to Johnnynutsack for having such a great gamertag...lol! Game on everyone and enjoy Liberty City.

I am sure the Gamestop people just love an obviously young kid saying they will buy an M-rated game at their store Great segment though, and of course I will be waiting for the PC Release
I was going to get in line at the Nintendo World store (yeah, so sue me) when the guy who invented the DS or Zelda or some such was there a couple of years ago, but when I saw the line, I decided to grab a Starbuck's instead and hop back on the PATH. I am just not that hard-core to be waiting in line for anything or anyone.
