    This is excellent news. The GTA games have been my favourite since day one when it was a top down view affair. And they have just got better and better all the time, lets hope this lives upto my and every other GTA fans expectations. As long as they have kept/improved the same large free roaming enviroments and added even more vehicles to use this game will be awesome

    Cool. I preordered this at Target to get the collectible card and console skin. Anybody know of other places offering up different type of swag for preordering?
