Rockstar's new Grand Theft Auto V is so large that two discs are needed for the Xbox 360 version of the game. The PlayStation 3 version of the game which uses a BluRay disc that can hold more data only requires one disc.
The two discs on the Xbox 360 version each have their own roles. There is both a "play" disc and an "install" disc, and as the name suggests, players are required to install the install disc before they can play the game with the other disc.
Rockstar have warned Xbox 360 owners that there may be performance issues if you try to install the play disc as well. On Rockstar's support twitter account, a tweet was posted saying "For optimal performance, we recommend not installing that disc. We will have more info on our Support Site at launch." In regards to whether installing the play disc is a good idea or not.
This also means that those who want to play the game will need to ensure they have enough space on their hard drive (8GB) and if they don't they

Grand Theft Auto V has only just come out and players are already delving deep into the games roots to find out about any cheat codes that may be lying around. And unsurprisingly, cheat codes have been found.
Cheat codes have always been around since the origins of the Grand Theft Auto series and they have been here to stay all the way throughout so it makes sense that Grand Theft Auto V is no exception.
In GTA V, the cheats sound like a whole lot of fun, so whether you've got the game just to mess around, or you plan on having some fun after completing the game, make sure to check back to this post because there'll be down waiting for you.
GTA V uses the traditional method of using cheats instead of the phone system that was used in GTA IV, so you'll have to activate cheat codes by tapping buttons in-game. Here are five of the best cheats available in-game for both Xbox 360 and PS3.

Rockstar made a post on their website This week to announce that their new open world game, Grand Theft Auto V has finally gone gold. This means that the game is 100% finished and fully developer and Rockstar will now work on manufacturing and shipping out copies to ensure we can all get the game on it's release day, September 17.
Earlier in the year Rockstar delayed the release of Grand Theft Auto V so that they could work on the game more and fine tune the experience for the players of the game, however this time round, the stated September 17 release date will be the true final release date for the game.
Rockstar also mentioned that some gameplay leaks happened due to a glitch in the system of the PlayStation Network's digital pre-order system. Some PS3 owners managed to download the game as soon as they pre-ordered, and this caused some leaks around the web.
The footage included some in-game TV cut-scenes that will be viewable at some point in the game, and videos

A Japanese magazine, Famitsu, has published an issue that includes an interview with Rockstar. Within the interview, Famitsu goes on to giving details about some so far unspoken of features within the Grand Theft Auto V universe.
Like seen in the gameplay trailer, animals will play a part in Grand Theft Auto V. According to Famitsu, there will be more than 15 animals within the game. Some of which players will encounter in the wild, and will be available to hunt. Players will also be able to get a pet dog and give that dog new accessories. The dog can be lost, although we're not sure whether this means the dog can be killed or whether it can be 'misplaced' within the game, and whether you'll be able to get a new dog is currently unknown.
Players will also be able to play underwater for the first time, and Grand Theft Auto V even has an underwater story mission. This mission will be played out by Trevor and Michael with jet skis.
Famitsu also confirmed the Japanese release

Having multiple consoles in the market can be a pain sometimes - obnoxious fanboyism, the inability to play online with friends on a different console, and of course gameplay differences in games.
Luckily though, Rockstar's upcoming Grand Theft Auto 5 will be virtually the same game on both the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. The new GTA has been confirmed to be a very big game, so it's easy to assume there may be gameplay differences between the two consoles because of the lack of powerful hardware.
Rockstar has made the announcement, stating "Players can expect the same great gameplay experience on both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms as they have both been developed in tandem."
"Like all of our games, trust that we're committed to making sure Grand Theft Auto V looks and runs as great as possible regardless of whether you pick it up for PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360, and we are excited for fans on both platforms to experience Grand Theft Auto V this September.

GTA fans have been in for a treat this month. Firstly, Rockstar released three new GTA 5 trailers showing off the new characters you will be able to play as in the game. Rockstar has now shown off a new screenshot, depicting the moment two of the main characters meet head to head in the game, and it doesn't look like a friendly meetup.
The new image shows Chaos crazed Michael and Gangbanger Franklin getting geared up with two assault rifles.
The image was first posted in the comments section on Rockstar's website, and was then removed by a moderator. So perhaps the image shows a little more information about GTA 5's story than Rockstar wanted to reveal at this point.
We posted earlier this week about GTA 5's new protagonists, and the roles they fill in the storyline, and the storyline is already looking interesting.
GTA 5 will be released in September latest this year for both current gen PlayStation and Xbox 360.

We've already talked about Rockstar's reveal on GTA 5's multi-protagonist story line, and have also talked about missions that involve two or more of the three main characters where players may switch between each character to get different benefits. Rockstar has now revealed three new trailers to show the three characters and their unique traits.
We can learn from the trailers that the first character, Michael, is a man who is going through his midlife crisis with his own family, but has also been brought into an action packed life of chaos and crime. He's pushed himself so far into the chaos that he's found himself addicted to it, and despite his huge fortune, he says he’s miserable and I’m sure his story will follow his choices between chaos or his family.
The second trailer shows Franklin, a character that has become trapped in gang violence and crime. His story will focus around cop chases, helicopters and the street life we've come to know from many popular Hollywood

Rockstar Games has suggested to its fans via their official website that three new trailers will soon be revealed, giving players more details on the three playable characters in the new GTA V, currently known as Trevor, Franklin, and Michael.
GTA V will be the first game to include multiple protagonists to play as in the series, according to Rockstar, who first revealed the details about the three characters earlier last year. The details also stated that in some cases, players will be able to swap back and forth between the characters when they are involved within the same mission.
All three characters will have different skills and abilities, and I can imagine that the overall gameplay experience for all three characters will feel distinctly different from the other two, so it'll be interesting to see what these new trailers show us.
Previously, two trailers for GTA V have been released, but no real gameplay has been shown. The trailers scheduled for April 30th
