With the way rockstar has been treating its customers lately I won't expect anything but another full purchase price.

 

What do you expect? It has "enhanced draw dinstace", it's like a full new game already :rofl:

Bought it earlier. Think that's roughly how much I paid for the GonD version years ago anyway. Makes this my 4th purchase :laugh:

 

Would have been nice to offer current owners a free upgrade but I guess those type of facilities aren't in place on 360. Now to finally finish the game :P

 

Still dreaming of an Ultimate 1080p remaster GTA collection one day :wub:

As far as I can determine, this game won't be released in Aus. Additionally, you can't use a US account because this is games on demand no XBLA.

 

Weak.

Pretty disappointed to learn it was just a lazy iOS/Android port. 2 minutes in and I was already experiencing audio problems during cut scenes :/.

 

Also, for those that care, these songs were removed, pressumably due to licenses expiring:

Strong possibility that Rockstar will upgrade the Steam version too, as it has been removed from sale and lots of activity on the database on the replacement. Really hope I get to keep the classic version and they don't auto-upgrade for once :(

So they've taken the mobile port and then ported that to the 360?  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:

 

Wacky times we live in.
