Wouldn't surprise me if they threw in a tank. I'm surprised they haven't anyway. If there was one thing they could sell that'd be very popular I'd say a tank.
Wheres the information?

Same. I really glad Rockstar did this. They must be making alot of money from this because there game is so popular, and it really is good. I just like the way it all ties in to the original story. Very clever. But yeah, cannot wait for it.

I think its a shame that the new cars, guns, abilities like shotguns on a bike, the upcoming parachutes and nitrous for cars, cant be carried over into the main game. I would love Niko to be able to do some of that.

Can they actually not? You'd think they'd opt in a way for it to be done, makes absolutly no sense to me. Would be nice using a sawn off on the main story line.

Its a shame with the money as well, TLAD doesn't really give you as much as Niko's story.

Anyway, I'm actually quite looking forward to this. TLAD I nearly didn't buy, and only got it recently but I'm hell glad I did.

I don't know to be honest. Ever since I've had TLAD, thats all I've played. I'd think somewhere on the menu you can pick, ie on new game, TLAD new game or GTA new game, I do know you can load between each one. Each save on TLAD says TLAD: then lastm ission completed.

Looking forward to this. For anyone wanting some cheap points, follow this guide.

I saw a guy selling 2100 points info for £1 on eBay, googled it. Hence, I take no credit for this.

2100 points for £7 (only available once).

http://www.overclock.net/xbox/568777-2100-microsoft-points-7-a.html

Apparently, you need the full amount in your bank. It deducts this, then refunds £15 (haven't been able to do this until I get paid).

It looks so good. Have you seen the new activites you can on the side to the main missions? Theres drinking competitions, dancing, club patrol. It looks amazing, all the new trailers and stuff. I can't wait for this game now. 1 day till Sky on Xbox, 3 until this. I've had 2100 MP on my xbox since first word of this. Cannot wait.

I don't like the pointless things they include, like a lot of the stuff on San Andreas, (eating, going to the gym, buying clothes, hair cuts, collecting 3 different types of packages, etc).

Only saw my brother playing this for about 15 minutes last night (online) and it does look amazing. It's basically GTA IV but good (I already thought GTA IV was good but nobody else seemed to think so).

The new stuff I've seen so far is; military helicopters at airport (hopefully these will be there offline), the helicopter's rockets you can just shoot at cars, new weapons, some big military tank vehicle thing and this cool Police Stinger (police car) I saw :D.
yeah it is amazing. i got it yesterday and i love it. i loved GTA4 from the start anyway (my favourite GTA game - a view obviously not shared by everyone.) TBoGT is GTA4 but with the crazy sort of stuff you got in san andreas. missions like blowing stuff up with sticky bombs, running from gang members in a golf cart, NOOSE tanks, choppers with rockets. brilliant send off for GTA4.

Couldn't sum it up better myself.

I think these episodic releases are better for GTA, giving entirely new perspectives and mixing it up a bit more than it usually does. They should do this with all future releases, and then some.

I think BOGT is one of my favourite GTA experiences ever. Lost and the Damned was better than IV but the Ballad trumps all of that in just six hours.

Was bigfoot actually in SA?

Definitly going to have this by Saturday. Need £22 in my account to get it, with £15 returned. I'm just not sure how quickly the £15 will be returned, so I'll have to wait.

Think Rockstar left some of these features, such as parachutes and tanks in 100% deliberatly. If there had been no DLC, they probably would've been in from the start. Good business, but a little annoying.

I didn't know that, the bikes still seem **** to me. I just finished TBOGT story last night, some of the missions are pretty fun. After each one there's a short check-list of things you need to do to get 100% on that mission, and you can go back to finish them once you've completed the game.

As for actual new stuff, other than vehicles and weapons, I don't think there's much to talk about. Instead of pigeons there's 50 seagulls. I'm not sure whether these are easier to find or not because you hear them from much further away but then you can be searching for ages in that area before you find it :P.

I preferred how GTA III was in terms of weapons; you unlock better ones as you progress. On this though you can basically buy whatever you want from the beginning which makes missions too easy. I think it's an alright little game though!

I always watch the credits as a type of respect for the people that the built the game, but yeahm he was in a tazi, got out with a bag, and he walks into the doors, it fades out black, and then shows a small passenger plane taking off into the sunset, presumedly with Packie inside, taking us on our next adventure.

Also, according to these two articles, it could take place in San Andreas.
