It's been leaked somewhere, and I've already noticed 1 friend on my friends list playing it. Can't view the achievements yet though.

I don't keep up with games per se, but does this leaking happen all the time? I used to remember when games only ever got pushed back by months, never finished early, what the fudge is going on ?

I think most big games get leaked now. Although there's usually attempts to stop it. Same with films really.

But by leaked is that the illegal way (which has always happened) or retailers selling early? Also if it is the illegal way i thought the xbox was a PITA and a big risk to chip/hack?

It's the illegal way. And they're easy enough to chip.

The risk comes from Xbox Live bannage. If they catch you (and they're pretty good at it by all accounts), your console is banned from Live, which is basically the heart and soul of the thing. Not worth it these days imo.

I know a fair few people who have seperate consoles for XBL and just playing the games though.
Depends if you're fussed about the achievements then, if you just want to play the game, might as well.

Agreed. I'll have a spare 360 when mine gets fixed, and though it'll be tempting to get it chipped. I'd value my account too much to risk doing anything which may mean it gets banned in the future.

I wonder how Rockstar will respond to the leak? Years ago they did a PR stunt whereby they stuck copies of GTA onto a billboard and say "Steal this." Now that people are stealing it its kinda funny.

Right I've managed to get the files online so here they are. The quality is pants and some aren't very long but it gives you an idea of gameplay.

Good video but it plays rather fast

Fun with the cops

Fun in a red jeep

We can watch TV!
