Default GTA: San Andreas - Well it was bound to happen . . . .

Seems GTA:San Andreas is now available for download all over the net, just like Halo2 was last week . . .

Well done to the publishers

Only a DVD5 and alledgedly real.

I will be paying for the game, probably through amazon.

Rockstar have done a great job with the last two GTA3 games and I am quite happy to part with my cash for this.

Just my 2p worth.... ok, £29.99 worth

First Doom3, then Halo2 now GTA: San Andreas

Surely its not that hard to protect the master copy ?!!

Personally GTA games bore me - I start them, then get bored pretty quickly.

It's usually the Publisher with the master copy that leaks the game though...

Wonder how much they lose when something like this happens.

Probably a drop in the ocean to a publisher (who gets the lion's share of the profits) but still I bet it runs into 5 or 6 figures.

The Halo 2 leak was apparently down to someone in the manufacturing plant nicking a CD.

Now, does anyone else think it's ironic that it's GTA that's been 'stolen' as it were? I'm not doubting it's out there, but it's not a bad publicity stunt either, a game about stealing being stolen?

halo 2 has not lost much, soo many people pre ordered it, it's unreal

Just about every game appears on the net before the shops !!

I'm gonna wait for the PC release, as playing it on the ps2 won't be as good as pc
