Yeah man, last week I was previewing the station that Jimmy Gestapo (of Murphys Law) hosts. Nothin but NYHC... pretty awesome if you ask me.

for those of us who are now one week away from pure bliss, IGN is feeding the frenzy even more with a whole bunch of in-depth coverage this week about the upcoming game-of-the-year:

I wish I could get a look at the map.

Here we have GTAIV being indirectly blamed for a recent spout of unrelated shootings in Chicago:

That's dumb. The woman with the sun glasses hit the nail right on the head. How the f*ck does an ADVERTISEMENT make people act violently, anyway? If clips from the game were playing in Times Square, I could understand, but these are pictured ads with no violence/sex/drugs/etc....

Those people are absolute morons. How about blaming the absolute ease with which to get a gun, you can't kill someone with a videogame, unless you spend absolutely ages chucking the box at their noggin'...

As for GTA, aside from all the spoodge talk, man alive time is passing really f*ckin' slowly all of a sudden just waiting for this game. Now that I've completed BioShock, I don't have any games to really play, so all the focus is now on GTA4's arrival ... ahhhh mate.

I was searching around about it last night on Google, there's a load of people fretting over their pre-orders in terms of when they will arrive, which stores can only ship it on the 28th, what that means in concern to online stores, etc and so on.

There was an online store as well that has said they've currently run out of their first batch of stock - so those with pre-orders should be fine up until about a week ago - and they were also saying that they've never seen sales like it on the PS3.

With all this fuss going on, I'm glad I pre-ordered mine a year ago!

Apparently some stores have broken release date and have already sold copies, I've seen a few places with imbedded videos claiming to show people playing it, but I don't wanna click play to find out because of spoilers.

Which stores?? any idea?

I'm very close to stealing a car to buy it...that'd be ironic eh?

List of known songs appearing in GTAIV (I've put spoiler tags on in case folks want to be surprised).

As you can see, it's not quite the full tracklisting but damn is it impressive. Francois Kevorkian hosting his own show? Holy f**kbeans! A Tuff Gong radio station playing the best of Bob Marley? Holy f**kbeans! All this and I've not even mentioned the talk shows...

If you own both the PS3 and the 369 which version of GTA 4 would buy? And why?
