That being said, it certainly gets bonus points in our book for showing what the game actually looks like (unlike some ads). GTA IV releases April 29 ... yeah, 'cause you didn't know that already.

I am wondering why Microsoft is spending so much money on advertising this for their console and the DLC. Are they fearing the PS3?
If the PS3 is so crappy compared to the 360, Microsoft should have no fear am I right? Unless they are scared of the PS3 and have to spend a crapload of money to assure a win.

also M$ have a cannon filled with money and like to shoot it at tv spots.
lol
There's nothing wrong with your comment. Its the obvious truth. THis is almost a pure 360 fanclub site. And when there's nothing to reply about to state otherwise, the last resort is the click of dislove.
Its MS's typical sign of desperation.
:p
In Direct response to the IGN Beyond podcast were they celebrated their victory in the format war.

"159.99" sounded like an extremely appealing 360 price, but then I remembered that it was in British pounds.

In any case, we can assume that minus the HUD, we've already seen a lot of in-game footage right here. :P
We have no reason to suspect that that is not his walking animation, that the simple facial animation when he hung up the phone was not an in-game animation, that storms don't look that awesome, or that his window smashing and hotwiring isn't how it happens in the game itself. It's pretty likely they didn't go to the trouble of making special animations for these actions when they've finished making a game that features all these things regularly. :P
