GTA IV sets sales records with 6 million unit / $500 million first week

Amazingly, prerelease estimates of a $400 million first week for the latest edition of Grand Theft Auto turned out to be low, with publisher Take-Two trumpeting a 6 million unit, $500 million debut. GTA in HD isn't without controversy however, with reports of overscan issues on older HDTVs (we've experienced it, with the last number or letter in mission descriptions sometimes running off the screen), and the PlayStation 3 version of the game not quite meeting our 720p expectations (although some say differences in textures and lighting more than make up for it). Being "only" 640p didn't stop previous record holder Halo 3, and looking at the numbers it appears Rockstar has made the right moves as well, although we're sure some will wait for the inevitable PC version to run the game in as high a resolution as possible.

GTA (Guam, not Liberty City) preps first HDTV service

Yeah we know, with only a couple weeks to go until Grand Theft Auto IV those three letters make heartbeats stutter, but we can't help noting GTA TeLeGuam has officially announced plans to bring HDTV to the island this summer. Part of the company's quadruple play of cell/telephone/TV/internet package, we don't know what channels it's planning to offer or how much it might cost, but we'll keep checking in advance of the always-necessary EngadgetHD "fact finding" vacation mission later this year.

GTA update provides HDTV support


GTAIf you're a "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" player on the PC, you might want to hook that PC up to your HDTV if you can. A new GTA patch was announced last night that addresses some of the sexually-explicit scenes of the "Hot Coffee" update. More importantly, support for 720p and 1080i is included in the 11.2 MB patch.
