GTA: SA Xbox Impressions?
So the game has been "officialy" leaked by Wal*Mart and Gamestop (goddamn why didnt i preorder from GS?) so i was wondering if any of you got it yet, what do you think? Yay or nay? Just a port or better than the PS2 version?

I have this game pre-ordered and they called me yesterday saying it was in for pickup (it was an EBGames) but unfortunately i need to wait till friday. Nothing like potentially getting the game early then having to wait

I pre ordered at GameRush, went in today to pick it up and they said they wouldn't have it till Friday I kinda stared blankly at thew kid for awhile and finally asked him why since it comes out today. He gave me a story about how they don't get their shipment till the end of the week. I have never had this happen with any of my other pre orders there.

my local gamestop has a bunch in now. I'll pick it up after work. I've never played a GTA before, by the way. The load times (as compared to PS2 version) are supposed to be much shorter.

My Wal-Mart had plenty in stock, and this was the Wal-Mart in the bumpkin town near where I work.

I think I'm gonna go pick it up at Best Buy today. According to Bestbuy.com, it's available at my local Best Buy. However, I really expect to get one of two canned Best Buy employee responses:
"Bestbuy.com is wrong, the totals are never correct"
or my favorite
"We have the game, but can't sell it until Thursday since the ad says so"

EDIT: The guy that posted the rumor says he'll get an ad (he apparently works there) and said MOH: European Assault and Batman Begins will be $29.99 for all systems.

Oh, I went to Best Buy and sure enough I got the old "We have the game but our street date clearly says we can't sell it until Thursday."
So I walked out of Best Buy and across the street to Gamestop and picked it up no problem.

About 3.6 GB if you dont store all the soundtracks on the DVD or 4.7GB for the complete FULL installation. Nice that the PC version came on 1 DVD rather than 7 CD's.

The Xbox one has 480p support, but when enabled, the aliasing is out of control. Portions of the environment look so unbelievably jaggy that you'll wonder if your eyesight is failing you. At times it looks like you're playing a 3D game without putting on the glasses.

I have gone there a few times, and gotten a game on a Tuesday when it said available Thurs/Fri, but it's rare.
