Xbox 360 GTA V leaked onto torrent sites for illegal download
The game, with an open-world larger than the title’s last three entries combined, is the most highly anticipated release of the year and the second most expensive piece of media content ever costing £170m - coming second to Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End’s £300m budget.
In response to the leak, Microsoft is banning the Xbox 360 accounts of individuals who are leaking video and picture content or playing the game early on Xbox Live.
Rockstar’s policy on the publication of copyrighted material from its games is: “No pre-release leaked footage of any kind: Any posting of in-game footage from leaked copies of the game prior to its official release date will be taken down, regardless of how the game was obtained. This includes ‘early unboxing’ videos.”
Social media site Vine has been a safe haven for leaked footage as the 6-second clips can be uploaded en mass and can be shared quickly.
The game file, entitled “Grand.Theft.Auto.V.XBOX360-QUACK”, contains two DVD image files which can be burned and played on flashed Xbox 360 consoles. The file was uploaded on the Pirate Bay torrent website this morning; several hours after exclusive torrent sites received it.
GTA V has received 2.5 million pre-orders ahead of the 17 September launch on PS3 and Xbox 360.

JPEG Well f*ck... I though people would be generous enough to buy this awesome game..
There will always be those people that don't want to purchase an awesome game but would rather steal it because they don't care about the companies who spent 100s of hours developing the game. It will always be like this :/

I don't understand why people risk getting console banned for downloading a free $60 game,
DawPosted:
Lightyear-Amp I would much rather actually buy the game rather than download it illegally.
Same, they spent 5 years making that game and people just download it illegally, it shows no respect.
Exactly. It's not that hard to wait a little for the game to come out.

Destroyed I'd rather wait 2 days than get a console ban.
Same, I'm just going to buy the game on release date, I prefer having a disc version anyways.
