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.

Why would someone wanna download this game? Rockstar has worked really hard on it, and idiots, still wanna ruin it, by getting it early, and playing it early, and what not.

Sinks If you just download the game and not buy it then you're a ***. rockstar actually deserves all of our money. I would understand if it was like CoD or some ish but its a $266,000,000 game. They deeserve every penny.
I agree, I wouldn't even want if for free, I'm paying for this game because it's epic.

TTG_CFORCEUSSLAPTTG_MAD Just gonna get banned good luck scumbags, its people like you that ruin it tbh.
they cant ban you if you play the game with your eathernet cable plugged in and if you use a usb stick untill release day
your just upset because you cant afford to get your xbox firmware flashed
if you had your xbox flashed you would not be moaning at how much you would be saving on games i get 8 games for the price of 1 so you sit there with just that 1 game you spent $60 on and i will sit there with my 8 games i spent $40 on for 8 brand new games
Wow you just dont shut up do you? Its not the fact that we cant afford to flash our consoles, does it make you feel superior to rant at people because they dont want a flashed console?
