Grand Theft Auto IV Leaked A Week Before Street Date

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

Sometimes i understand why companies are trying so hard to combat piracy.

GTA IV

Grand Theft Auto IV is probably the game of the year, everyone i know ,every mature gamers awaiting so badly this game by preordering their copies or waiting to grab one next week , but seems internet underground group iCON braked the ice earlier by releasing to the internet almost a week before worldwide retail date set for 29/04/2008.

They even decided to warn those wanting to play live.

Quote:

for playing this bitch early.
if u dont mind, well.. like we care.
and guys, seriously, go and buy this one!
R* deserves it…

——iCON – Passion for Videogames—– ”

Funny though they advised people to go buy it ,but if they care that much why released such anticipated game before retail date in first place ?

I really hope people will go buy this awesome game not because i am related to Rockstar games but because this going to be maybe the only game you really want to play and you can really enjoy it only if you hold a legal copy.

>> Now another point i really want to bring out is for the companies appointed to fight piracy.
The root of the piracy doesn’t lie much with the home user who managed to have 40mbit line at home just to download fast copyrighted materials but with the source of the first copy .

For instance this game , for sure either a menber of the group works in the retail industry,run a retail store,or is related to someone in the industry there is no possible way they can have access to it before retail date.

So rethink your strategy and start tracking through the retail industry itself instead of the bittorents or p2p channels, they are just the hands and feets of the big P (p for piracy), go after the head which is within the retail industry itself. <<

Notes:  If you want to read more about the release or the source web the info about it was posted on , you have to google it ,we didn’t included the website link because we don’t want to encourage people to visit it,sorry.

Wiiiplayer or BBC iPlayer for Wii

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

The video download and streaming service that lets people catch up with BBC programmes is now a channel on the hugely popular game console Nintendo Wii. Early versions of the service is available since 9 April but more polished software will be released as the service developed.

According to BBC they are working to produce a whole host of Iplayer versions for various other game consoles as well as handheld devices.
It is already accessible on Apple’s iPhone and the iPod Touch though.

If you ‘re tired of sitting in front of the pc to watch your missed episodes and you own a Wii then Wiiiplayer is definitely a winner.
