Grand Theft Auto V Message Board older than one year ago

The phenomenally diverse soundtrack from Grand Theft Auto V has made the jump to iTunes, for all of your real-world heist planning needs.

The three-volume set currently available on Apple's digital music service is an abridged version of the GTA V soundtrack which includes a total of 59 tracks. The first and third volumes consist of selections from the game's radio stations, while the second features the game's score composed by Tangerine Dream.

Each of the songs can be purchased individually for 99 cents, but the best bargain to be had is for those who purchase the entire collection at once. All three volumes will set you back $25 - less than half the price of purchasing all this music piecemeal.

A file has been discovered within the code of Grand Theft Auto V which seems to hint at the presence of microtransactions within Grand Theft Auto Online.

Redditor "1800" noticed that when players attempt to open the "Xbox Store" option in Grand Theft Auto V, no results are produced, but the game searches for a specific XML file. This file contains references to cash cards worth up to $1.25 million in the game's currency, as well as the following text:

"Cash is king in this town. Solve your money problems and help get what you want across Los Santos and Blaine County with the purchase of cash packs for Grand Theft Auto Online. All purchased cash is automatically deposited into your character's bank account. Spend wisely, cash therapy is fleeting."

Rockstar has not publicly mentioned microtransactions in its plans for Grand Theft Auto Online, though it has also not mentioned how it plans to fund what has so far been described as 16-player open-world chaos. We've reached out to Rockstar for more, but answers to this question may have to wait until Grand Theft Auto Online debuts on October 1.

I have a good time picturing a Breaking Bad video game: Basically, nothing would go according to plan and you'd keep losing more, and more, and more. So how would a GTA-style game built around Breaking Bad work? Read more...

It's the best PS3 deal ever and it's not going to last. What you see in the header is what you get, so if you have any need of a first PS3, a replacement PS3, or a second or third PS3, this is the moment. Even if you already bought GTAV, you'll be able to offload this copy for more than you would any other bundled game. [eBay]Read more...

Normally, it takes a third party to blame a crime on a video game. Not in Zachary Burgess' case, the 20 year-old only too happy to blame his own actions on Grand Theft Auto V.Read more...

Rockstar is investigating a bug that causes cars in Grand Theft Auto 5 to disappear after being parked in a garage. The glitch can erase a car "if you drive another character's personal vehicle," and for now Rockstar suggests players avoid parking in a garage, driving a car found in a garage or driving a default vehicle, at least not "when playing as a character other than the one with your upgrades."

There's no fix for the bug now, but to receive automatic email notification when a patch comes through log into Rockstar's Support Site and subscribe to this page.

Grand Theft Auto 5 roped in more than $1 billion during its first three days at retail. Surely it'll post a fix for this car bug once it's done counting all of its cash.

Can I stab a shark in Grand Theft Auto 5? How do I survive a free-fall with no parachute? Can I hide from the cops in some bushes? What's the most hilarious way to take out a police chopper? Look no further for the answers to these and more in this "Mythbusters" episode.

This past weekend in GTA V, my buddy Franklin finally made some real money on a heist. The guy loves to drive, so I decided to buy him a nice new sports car. But when he got back to his house and checked the garage, the car was nowhere to be found. Had master car-thief Franklin himself been the victim of car theft? Read more...

What a time to be alive! Thanks, GTA V! Now let's wait till someone does this with a forklift—or puts it on a truck, tows it with the tow truck and lifts the whole thing with one of the larger cargo helicopters.Read more...

Some cheats for Grand Theft Auto V are about stuff like makin' money. They justifiably disable the ability for that save to rack up achievements. Others, though, just want you to be free.Read more...

Rohan Dawkins (on the left), from Delray Beach, Florida, is a student at a local ACCESS program for adults with intellectual disabilities. Having saved up money from his weekend job at a Home Depot he, like millions of other people around the world, was able to buy a copy of Grand Theft Auto V last week. Unlike millions of other people, though, he was robbed on his way home, punched and kicked while two people - a married couple, no less - stole his game.Read more...

It seems the launch week of a hotly anticipated game can't pass without a problem keeping some folks from playing. Several tips and complaints we've received, and a long forum thread backing them up, allude to a specific problem facing Grand Theft Auto V: the game appears to crash on older models of the Xbox 360.Read more...

Steal a military tank and cause massive destruction.

Beneath the waves off the northern coast of San Andreas, there lies what appears to be the wreckage of a crashed alien spacecraft. We've already found that there are multiple references to UFOs throughout the game... perhaps this crashed ship will resurface at some point in the future?

Can't do this with a next gen-only game in 2013 (probably not in 2014, either), because there just won't be enough next-gen consoles out there for quite some time...Read more...

Take-Two Interactive announced today that based on internal estimates it believes Grand Theft Auto 5 sales have surpassed $1 billion during its first three days at retail. According to the company, the game is the fastest product to achieve that milestone.

If the estimates by the Rockstar Games' parent company are correct, it will have beaten the already ridiculous achievement by Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 last year, which hit the billion milestone in 15 days.

Take-Two announced on Wednesday that Grand Theft Auto 5 had sales of $800 million in its first 24 hours (compared to CoD: Black Ops 2's $500 million).

Also, we're just using Call of Duty here for comparative purposes. Don't you worry. Call of Duty: Ghosts is still going to do plenty fine, with GameStop recently noting it as the "most pre-ordered" game of the year.

Team Coco? More like Team Loco. Late night talk show host Conan O'Brien can't put his differences aside with a Los Santos strip club and pays the price - repeatedly. Also, never ask him to drive for you on any intense operation. He's no cool as cucumber Ryan Gosling.

Because of course we all thought there was actual cocaine all over the counter at a GTA launch in Australia earlier this week, retailer EB Games has thoroughly investigated the matter, and come to what it feels is a satisfactory conclusion.Read more...
