1) Disconnect your internet when you play the game.

2) They won't ban you. I doubt there will be servers or multiplayer enabled on that date.

Omg. Dont Go for this e-Popularity sh*t. Get it on Friday. And bask in it. YOURSELF. more people would rather just Wait. And if you did post it on Youtube and Rockstar found it they will probably Come down on you. And people wouldnt belive its real because of all thsi RickRoll/Fake sh*t going around. they wil just say its Saints Row/GTA:SA

Not sure, but if the PS3's online system is anything like the Xbox 360's, unplugging yourself from the internet isn't that simple, or that's the case with the Xbox 360 at least.

Question: Does anyone know more detail of what Sony / Mico may do if you play early? how would they know?

I've had plenty of 360 games early (up to 4 days before release) and never had any problems, even with playing online. I think MS just accepts that people are going to get games a little early, and it doesn't necessarily make them pirates or thieves.

 

As for Sony... no idea, but I'd assume it's the same. What if a store was selling a game before release and it was bought by a customer who didn't even know when the release date was? It'd be pointless banning him for an honest purchase.

If you have a legaly bought version of the game then Sony cannot and will not try and ban or persecute you.

 

They can only take action against stores for selling the game early or people downloading the game ilegaly.

They may not care with smaller titles but with Halo 3 they banned people and with as big of a title as GTA they will deffinitely ban anyone. And as for hiding your online they will still get you because it shows up. I don't see why they don't just let people have games when they are finished. But you might as well wait instead of getting banned its only like what 2-3 days.

Halo 3 was one of the games I got early, so was Gears of War. I played both online before release date and I've never heard so much as a cough from MS.

In the Halo 3 thing, they actually banned people for using an exploit in the beta that allowed them to keep playing the beta even after the beta had ended, if I remember correctly. I also remember that a retailer in Europe sold a few copies of the game early, and I don't recall reports of the customers getting banned on XBL, only the store getting fined/sued.

Likewise...

 

I've known this guy for 8 years.

 

He's sold me almost every game early, he puts them on the shelves on Wednesday's (Typical Friday releases)

 

He even sold me Transformers 2 weeks early!

Dairej, or anybody else for that matter, if you plan on getting GTA4 early and posting videos on youtube, could you please show us a clip of the new Climbing system (Niko running and climbing up buildings). I suppose this will be mixed with some shooting and that anyway.

I was originally planning to get my camera out and do an un-box and the first 10 minutes of gameplay...

 

But judging on the recent thread where people keep pointing out that videos are being "mysteriously" taken down from sites like Youtube etc, I'm not expecting much success!

 

I'll try my best though! biggrin.gif
