Got any change to spare? If you have, you may want to boot up your Xbox 360 and head to the Xbox Games Store. Want to know why? Right now you will be able to find GTA: San Andreas for just a few bucks.
The game has debuted on the Xbox 360 this week, and it comes with a range of improvements to make the game slightly better than the original.
Firstly, the new GTA San Andreas HD has had a resolution increase, and the game now plays at 720P. Whilst it seems that Rockstar have simply upscaled the original textures, it's nice to see that the game will run smoothly on the Xbox 360 at a 720P HD resolution.
On top of upscaling the resolution, Rockstar have also increased the in-game draw distances, which will allow players to see more area of the map at once whilst playing.
Finally, with the debut to Xbox 360, Rockstar have added a bunch of achievements for the game that can be unlocked by playing through the story.

We've talked a little bit in the past about large game install sizes, but today we have some crazy news to share with you. It has been rumored that Grand Theft Auto V for the PlayStation 4 could take exactly 50GB of storage space from your beloved PS4's hard drive.
That is a huge 10% of the default hard drive that comes with the PS4, and that is only for one game - this does not include any content patches or DLC that Rockstar may plan to release in the future.
50GB may not seem like much, but it's starting to reach the point where many games require between 30GB and 50GB free for install space, and over the next few years that size may keep going up.
For those with slow connections, this is a very large issue, and it makes paying for digital games almost impossible. It's great to see that Sony and Microsoft are now offering digital downloads for their games, but it is not a very viable option, considering that it would only take around 10 games to fill up an entire

We've already talked a little bit about the new upcoming features of Grand Theft Auto V for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, but new rumors suggest that there may be even more features planned for the game that Rockstar are yet to reveal.
One such rumor makes the proposal that Rockstar may have been working on a first person mode for Grand Theft Auto 5, and it may make it's way into the game for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One release.
Whilst there's no way to confidently confirm or deny these rumors, the source comes from a Rockstar blog reader who supposedly found a 'cached' version of the new gen announcement blog within the Rockstar website's code.
On the cached version of the website, the first person mode was described as 'A brand new first person mode for vehicles that shows the interior of the vehicle, including working speedometers, tachometers, dash lights, and more.'
The cached blog post also went on to describe a new first person mode whilst on foot

It's finally happened, Rockstar have released all there is to know about the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Grand Theft Auto V, including the release date of the next gen version of the game.
Retailers around the world have now started to put up pre-orders for GTA V next gen for both the PS4 and the Xbox One, in anticipation for the release date, which has been set for November 18th this year.
GTA V for Xbox One and PS4 will come with a wide range of changes that couldn't make it into the original game due to hardware limitations of the previous generation of consoles. Some of the new changes include new weapons, new vehicles and new activities, as well as increased wildlife and a new and improved foliage and terrain system.
There will also be denser traffic in GTA V for PS4 and Xbox One, making car chases in the city even more intense, and players will notice changes to the weather and vehicle damage systems in-game.
There will also be an extra 100 songs

According to new rumors, the upcoming Grand Theft Auto V rework will come packed with a set of new in-game music tracks for the various radio stations available via radio from a car or a player's home.
One of the radio stations in Grand Theft Auto V is called Non Stop Pop FM, and according to Cara Delevingne, a model who has been the host of the in-game radio station, players will be able to experience a set of new tracks when the rework is released, along with new content in between songs.
This update isn't exactly massive, but it's one of the added details that will make the new Grand Theft Auto rework for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and the PC worth buying. Even if you already own GTA V on a previous gen console, the range of new changes to the game should even make purchasing GTA for your new console quite tempting.
Rockstar could have easily just put the same game onto new consoles with a slightly better resolution and frame rate, but instead they are really embracing

The GTA Online content creator has done itself proud. Ever since it's launch, players have been creating their very own content to keep themselves entertained within the world of GTA Online. Occasionally, we'll see some super great jobs from the content creator, and these often end up becoming Rockstar verified, meaning that they get thrown into the pool of jobs Rockstar have created themselves.
This week, 10 new jobs have been added to the Rockstar verified section, including a bunch of missions related to the recent Hipster content update. Below, details of the various new jobs can be seen.
1. Dubsta Warz - created by Darteyld: Put the climbing ability of your new Dubsta to the test in this point-to-point Race where roads are for the weak. Starting out on Chumash Beach, get to the edge of the Grand Senora Desert as the crow flies, crossing mountains and scaling vertiginous slopes under twilight.

It seems a lot of developers are currently very happy to team up with Sony to offer various PlayStation 4 exclusives, including Bungie, the creators of Destiny, and now it even looks like Rockstar may be doing the same.
Whilst the details are unclear, PlayStation's North American marketing vice president, John Koller. revealed to Kotaku that there would be some sort of PlayStation 4 exclusive GTA V content or 'perk' that no other platform would receive. When asked by Kotaku about PS4 exclusive content, Koller replied with "I don't think we announced anything publicly on that, but there will be." This is a pretty detail-void response, but it does tell us that something will be different about the PS4 GTA V experience.
As far as Koller is concerned, Grand Theft Auto has also been a PlayStation based franchise, and Sony's relationship with Rockstar has always been strong. Whether or not we'll see some kind of content in-game exclusive to the PlayStation 4 is unclear at this point,

GTA Online had a rocky start, but after all of the bugs and server issues were ironed out, it has been clean sailing for a lot of player since then. However, that all changed over the Christmas period when a huge surge of exploits, hacks, cheats and glitches came in that completely ruined the economy and made getting a shiny new Adder as easy as buying your first new pair of pants.
The newest title update for Grand Theft Auto V, update 1.09, has been release to try and combat all of the recent going-ons and happenings, and with no real content released in the latest update, it's clear that these problems have slowed down content production just a little bit.
The biggest change for any wannabe cheater is that Rockstar have now improved and bolstered up their anti-cheat system. It's so far unknown how effective it will be, but hopefully it will be able to do a good job at catching the culprits, and won't bring up any false negatives.
A lot of the glitches and exploits

A new Grand Theft Auto 5 patch has been released, and it has what might just be the biggest glitch of all-time. Whilst early on in the release of GTA Online, the game was filled with hackers, money was a pretty abundant thing.
Many hackers would infinitely increase their payroll, go into servers and just payout cash to other players in the lobby. This ended up with thousands of players owning the best houses, cars and weapons within a few days.
Fortunately, Rockstar solved this issue, and largely removed everybody's excess cash from their in-game bank accounts, but it looks like we may see another influx of highly valuable items because patch 1.22 has an interesting flaw in it that allows players to receive infinite amounts of money.
To pull off this glitch, you will need two players. One player will need to head to the tuner shop and mod up a car to be as expensive as possible. Once the car has been modded, players can then leave the garage.
Now that your car

The Grand Theft Auto V storyline was one of the most enjoyable single player experience I've had this year, and despite there being some great releases this year such as the Last of Us, Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinite and so many more, there's nothing out there that could replace the GTA experience.
If you've enjoyed Grand Theft Auto V but have run the bloodstream dry out of the current single player offering, you may be happy to hear that Rockstar have some great things planned for the story line in 2014.
Just like with Grand Theft Auto IV, GTA V will have some extended storyline content added through DLC packs. Rockstar has confirmed that the DLC content will be released in 2014 and will continue the story's of Michael, Franklin and Trevor.
On top of this, a lot of work is going into the GTA Online experience, and 2014 will be a great year for the multiplayer portion of the game. In 2014, Rockstar will fully release the content creator, introduce new missions and mission
