Doesn't it get ruined by the folded creases?

Maybe frame it up?

Car customization looks better than Saints Row 3's.

Bumpers, wheels, intercoolers, hoods, exhaust, motor, brakes, everything!!

Once they get their phone app working flawlessly, you can also customize your cars on your phone/tablet and then have the mods show up in your game. Say goodbye to even more work productivity

That's exactly one of the reasons why GTA V is necessary. Either take your anger out, or just sit on the couch and watch the ridiculous satire cartoons in game, or even go watch a random wtf movie in the movie theater. Or, go to the strip club and see boobs and ass without spending actual money.

yeah, that seems logical - when you have the HD and the (relatively fast) disc drive you've got two streams coming in at the same time - can transfer more data simultaneously... load other sh*t while the other thing is doing other sh*t

'GTA 5': 'Grand Theft Auto 5' For PS4, PC Revealed? [PHOTOS]


By Konrad Krawczyk
on September 17 2013 3:12 PM

First, an official Sony Twitter account let it slip that "Grand Theft Auto 5" will be coming to the PS4. Now, some intrepid souls have discovered code within "GTA 5" that could be proof that "GTA 5" for PS4 is surely on the way, according to Gotta Be Mobile.

Check out an image of the alleged "GTA 5" for PS4 code below.
GTA 5 PS4 Code www.gottabemobile.com


Note the text that says "Orbis." Why is that significant? Well, Orbis is a code name for the PS4's operating system. Does that certainly mean that "GTA 5" is being made for the PS4? It certainly looks that one, though we must caution that the code could always be bogus, put together by someone who just wanted to make some news. However, the fact that Sony's official Twitter account publicly acknowledged a PS4 version of "GTA 5," only to retract the statement as a "typo" lends credence to this alleged code.
GTA 5 PS4 Sony Tweet www.twitter.com
Whether the code and the tweet let news of "GTA 5" for PS4 slip or not, it seems like a foregone conclusion that the game will one way or another find itself on PS4, Xbox One and PC eventually considering the sheer amount of dollars that releases on those platforms would generate for all parties involved. Regarding a "GTA 5" for PC release, we spotted this image and were told that it was snapped in a store in Australia recently. What's more, the German version of Amazon has a page up for the PC version of "GTA 5," though it lacks any references to Windows 8.
GTA 5 For PC Amazon Germany www.amazon.com
What do you think? Do you think that PC and PS4 versions of "GTA 5" are on the horizon? Do you think the "GTA 5" for PS4 Orbis code is legitimate? Why or why not? Sound off in the comments below.

'GTA 5': How To Make Fast, Easy Money In 'Grand Theft Auto 5'

By Konrad Krawczyk
on September 18 2013 4:07 PM

Some wise man once mused that "cash rules everything around me." While the true value of money depends on the person you talk to, having lots of green to throw around can only be a good thing when it comes to "GTA 5."

With that in mind, we've compiled 10 ways you can make fast, easy money in "GTA 5" so you can propel yourself to greater heights of criminality as you navigate through the seedy underbelly of Los Santos, the game's setting. These "GTA 5" money- making tips are courtesy of PSU.

How to Make Easy Money in "GTA 5"

1. Take Your Time and Complete Side Quests
This hint is near-universal and applies to other types of games as well, including shooters and RPGs. If you want to make extra cash, don't rush through the game and complete the main missions. Do as many side quests as you possibly can as well; be patient and explore your surroundings. It's like scrounging around for health/med packs; if you look hard enough, you're bound to find some. The same goes for money in "GTA 5."

2. Buy Up "GTA 5" Real Estate
It's simple; the more property you own in "GTA 5" the more side quests will become available to you. Side quests mean extra cash flow.

3. Manipulate the Stock Market
The radio stations in "GTA 5" will mention stock tips. Use them to your advantage. Lester also has trading tips that you can use. Franklin and Lester collaborate on assassination missions. You can buy a stock, assassinate the CEO and then sell off the shares of that company after the CEO is dead for a big payday. Character dialogue sometimes contains stock tips as well. Basically, if you hear a stock tip your ears should perk up, regardless of the source of information.

4. Listen to Dialogue Closely Before a Heist
Before a heist, pay attention to what parts of the heist are most important when Michael and Lester are bantering about the next job. The important parts are likely to offer the biggest payoffs. You can also hire crewmates who are less experienced. Why? Their cut of the loot will be smaller, which means more money for you.

5. Take Care of Yourself
Hospital bills and medical expenses can carry prohibitive costs. Take care to not kill yourself with car crashes and other careless mistakes, because you can end up paying dearly for them. You can use Franklin's special ability, which allows you to slow time, in order to navigate through tight traffic jams while driving. This should help you avoid car accidents and injury.

6. Participate in and Complete Races
Participating in races of any kind can help you win big cash prizes and also boost your driving skill. The better your driving skill, the more efficient you'll be at completing heists, which could be bigger cash payouts for you.

7. Safeguard Your Cars
Keep your top of the line, blinged-up cars in your garage. The more you use your expensive rides, the bigger the chance that something will happen to them. Los Santos isn't exactly a safe place, and you definitely don't want to see your pride and joy come to harm, which also translates into tons of wasted money for you.

8. Rob People Near ATMS
Talk about easy money: Just stick around an ATM, wait for someone to come by and withdraw, then rob them of their money.

9. Rob Gruppe 6 Vans
Gruppe 6 security fans usually contain lots of cash. You can handle these situations in a number of ways: shoot at the van's occupants to get them to come out. Run the van off the road. Blow up the doors in the back and you'll be greeted by a pile of cash.

10. Improve Your Driving and Stamina Skills
The better your driving and stamina skills are in "GTA 5" the more efficient and proficient you'll be at completing heists. The better you get at completing heists, the bigger your cash payouts from these heists will be.

11. Buy a Car Company, Destroy the Competition
If you invest in a car company, you can eliminate the competing companies by destroying their cars. The end result will be customers flocking to your company to buy up your cars.

12. Invest in Guns and Ammo Companies
Los Santos is a dangerous, violent place. Bullets fly around constantly and gun ownership is a way of life. Invest in companies that make guns and ammo and it shouldn't take long for you to see profits.

13. Trash a Company, Then Buy Their Stock Cheap
This is essentially Tip 11 but in reverse. You can destroy the cars of a car company, which will make their stock price sink fast. This lets you buy that stock on the cheap. Then, buy that stock cheap and destroy the cars of rival companies. Your stock prices should rise before long while the competition flounders.

No. Those are old disproven rumors stuff. The coding is true, but a line of code is not an actual product.

LOL I just realized that was from the ibtimes. 2 things..... you know games is a big deal when they are covered by publications like them, and (2), you can't trust them on speculation about the games.

Yes, it is in the box, along with the Blimp code and the "quick guide".

And that car is really supposed to be the Accord sport, but I figured it's the closest thing to an Acura in the game lol.

p.s. nice ILX av
