Yeah it is pretty cool. I'm not that far in. But I dunno, for me it wasn't everything I thought it would be. But then I think I am getting over video games. I just turned 22. I used to love them. I don't know whats wrong with me.
Well if any of the previous GTA games are any clue, then about 2 to 3 months after the console release. But I don't understand why Microsoft would release it for 360 and not for windows. Actually I do, but it's still annoying.
The movie industry releases items in a similar way. They have regional codes so that a film released on DVD in one region of the world won't play on a machine made for another region. They maximize their profit by releasing a film sequentially one region at a time. .
