"The GTA San Andreas Thread"

Thought it would be worth posting this as the game has been leaked and the official version is only a week away so its likely to be a common topic on this forum.

So I ask try keep all the SA talk in here, questions, views etc. Saves spamming the forum up with the same stuff and making it harder to find other topics.

On the matter of the game being leaked - "Rockstar Games has reacted to the "theft" of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas by promising to "diligently and aggressively pursue this matter," as the hugely anticipated PS2 title spread across newsgroups and websites offering illegal downloads, but says that the game's launch has not been affected."
From Eurogamer

I doubt it. I'll get it online, just depends which place tempts me, as it's very unlikely they'll sell out.

If you want it on release day you better preorder it, by the looks of things its nto gonna be arounsd for long. Games Xs (crummy game shop in my town) is getting 50 copies all of which are already pre ordered.

This game looks hoooooooge.


I believe I shall be ordering it very soon.

Just sold my VC for a tenner, so that can go towards the SA fund.

If any of you go to the Gtagaming.com forums you may already know about this. Apparently some European stores are release early, I'll quote you seom replies from the thread.

I am NOT joking.

After speaking with my mates there in Spain, apparently R* has already finished shipping the game out to the stores and the game will be available to buy Monday 25th.

The game release has been pulled back due to the leak, as now the game is available on the net.

Well, that's.... *beep* great!

I usually don't believe things like this, but I see no reason for it not to be released earlier seeing as it is gold and has been shipped and ready to sell in England.

It's probably false, but you never know,
Could Gameplay be doing the same thing?
I sure as hell hope so cause thats where i've ordered it from.

I've pre-ordered San Andreas from here, I'm hoping to get the game on the Saturday after it's release, if not before. Are you SR peeps reading this?

Technically, I didn't actually review it, I just made a typical smart ass comment. Anyway, this is the only game I'm going to buy for the PS2 this year, looks fantastic and it has an approximate lifespan of 150 hours, and that's just the main story. This is gonna be massive.

GRAND THEFT AUTO: SAN ANDREAS
PS2 ONLY £31.99 OUT: OCT 22

Only Special Reserve could goof up like that! lol

Looks like the ending to a mission to me, still looks cool though.

quite funny how the game has an average score of 10 out of 10 on the reviews when it isnt even out yet, and 80 people have reviewed it. (Yes I am one of those people)

If you want loads of info, look at this link Stridman posted:

There's just about everything there - look at the air vehicles. Private jet. Yummu.

My complete cynacism has been lately replaced with something resembling slight anticipation.
