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.

OsbourneNRG-900SHEWOLF1119 This game is honestly going to be the game of the century and people that are torrenting it are stupid. GTA V is going to be worth every penny and so much more. All of those people that are pirating the game and are caught on XBL deserve whatever Microsoft throws at them.
I agree 100%. It's like come on get a job and just buy the damn game. Rockstar have been working on this for at least 5 years, why not support them?
Exactly. They are worth every penny they make, even if they will make A LOT, they are worth it, they are providing an exellent, amazing game.
Those who torrent the game FU! :D
at 2.5 million ordered and at 60 bucks a pop thats only 150,000,000 minus the cut the retAilers get.......just from preorders they are probably about 1/3rd of breaking even
