hey guys... i'm new to this forum... and i would like to tell u something about GTA... that v've got its versions pretty wrongly... if it named 'vice city', it is just vice city version. not GTA 3. Cuz GTA 4 is gonna release this year... i'm telling this because i went to a shop and asked that is there GTA 4 available. The shop keeper told me that he's got the latest version than GTA 4. i shocked and asked him to show that to me. he showed me the version of SAN ANDREAS. i came back... SAN ANDREAS is just only a version's name. It's not GTA 5...
