It wasn't meant to happen -- not now -- but it did! The much awaited "Grand Theft Auto IV" (GTA 4) for Xbox 360 has hit the Internet already. Although there's still a week left for the game to release officially, the pirated version for it is now available on the World Wide Web. But as of now, we cannot verify whether the game is fully playable.

Courtesy a group called "iCON", GTA 4's pirated copy of 6.32GB file size was uploaded to be available on several torrents. However, only the PAL version of the title is floating around the Internet for now; rumors suggest that the NTSC version might also be up for grabs before the official release of the game.

According to reports, this isn't the first time a GTA title has made its way into the hands of fans before the scheduled release. Nevertheless, reactions to this breaking news indicate that gamers are quite surprised that the game has been leaked.

Incidentally, the pirates of "iCON" warn that it shouldn't be played on Xbox Live because it could be detected by Microsoft and Rockstar. And they sum it up with, "guys, seriously, go and buy this one." Ironically, "iCON" recommends buying this title when it hits the stores. Perhaps they should have added a "pun intended" note at the bottom as well.

I hate iCON, they tried to steal my cheeseburgers but instead actually took my muffins (no homo). Sometimes, late at night, I like to sit out in my front porch eating cheeseburgers, but, this time, I was enjoying some tasty muffins (no homo) but they took it...:sadface: Can you help me find my muffins? In turn, I'll scrub your epidermis (no homo) (no pedo).

It makes me sick think it took Rockstar 3 and a half years to make this game and people are going to download it for free after all their hard work.

What about us PC gamers? Stupid Rockstar give first preference to Consoles why not release it on all platforms X360/PS3/PC at once? Ok If MS pays them royalty fine release PC version with PS3. They think PC version will get pirated & no one will buy? Well what now Rockstar? Morons. I suppose us PC gamers will never get this game even if we do it will be 1 or 2 years after. This is just plain stupid we PC Gamers put in our hard earned moneyto buy Hardware parts/Original Software...what's the use if game devs won't release games on PC!? Hell they make games on the PC then why just keep it tied to Consoles? In a way I'm happy that this Game is leaked it I suppose Rockstar deserves it for ripping of us PC Gamers by not offering us the game with the PS3 release.

aww come on guys rockstar spent a lot of time and money to make this game absolutely perfect so the least you can do is go out and buy it

For a game that advocates violence and crime, it would be funny for Rockstar to complain about this piracy problems. Judge: ?Defendant A, why did you pirate GTA IV?? Defendant A: ?I got this cool awesome pirating idea from playing GTA III?

I pre-ordered this game! I'll download it anyway :P

The pirate works for one of the mass dvd duplicators or one of the companys stuffing the dvd boxes.

Temptation is powerful. In a sense, R* should be honored their game was desired so much, that it was leaked early just like other great hits such as Halo 3, COD4. There are only X amount of pirates, it won't hurt sales much, they are surely the minority.

The shops don't have the games weeks beforehand. Where did you hear that? The shops get the game three or four days before its actual release.

Its not about being careless, its about having stupid people working for you, the only way this has managed to leak is because someone who worked for the game as uploaded a copy to a bittorrent, the game isnt even available yet, and i doubt people have gotten their pre-ordered copies yet, Rockstar arent careless its just naivity.

no its not! its obviously a retailer, once the games shipped off to all the stores and places its out of their control!

Dont be dumb, its not R*s fault, we have nobody actually inside R*, just people with jobs in shops. Dont forget all shops that sell it on the release date have the game weeks before. Use your brains, dont be dumb! iCON
