Only 19 days are left before everybody’s next must have title arrives at your favorite local game store. While I am sure the majority of you have already reserved your launch copy, is your console appropriately decked out to celebrate its impending arrival? If you don’t have this accessory, then the answer is no. This Xbox 360 faceplate screams Grand Theft Auto in every way possible. Between the distinctive font, the classy black background, and the blinged IV logo, there is no doubt it is the epitome of being pimped out.

I never reservate, all new games are automatically reserved for me so I can test them.
Neither do I think this truly screams Grand Theft Auto, It is pretty cool but the only Grand Theft Auto that was a bit about the bling was GTA: San Andreas the rest was more of the italian mobsters than of the Gangsta Rappers and GTA IV will again be less involved with this kind of gangsters so if this was for GTA: San Andreas I would agree it fits great but now GTA goes more hardcore again It is very cool but not screaming GTA IV in all possible ways

I don’t play those games so you would certainly know more than I would. You know me, I’m just distracted by the bling. ;)

I think I’ve made my feelings known on GTA 4

Wow. Lotta hate for GTA in here. Or hate for the plate. *shrug* I played two minutes of GTA III and have had no interest in the series since. I LOVE the idea of the gameplay mechanic. I’m not not a fan of the context of the mechanic. Stick it in a Star Wars or Mass Effect or Oblivion universe and I’d be all over it. It’s partly the violence, but mostly it’s the spirit. GTA is… mean, I guess, for lack of a better word. There was violence in Crackdown, but there wasn’t a “meanness” to it, if that makes sense. Anyway, all I tried to do with the plate was capture the feeling of all the marketing they’ve done for the game with a simple white, letterman’s jacket-styled “IV” on plain black background. And my mom is crystallizing EVERYTHING these days, lol. Honestly, I have an un-crystaled version sitting right here, and the crystalized version is just simply more interesting.

Since I was the only one critisising the actual plate I like to say I don’t hate it, I said it looked cool but that it does not truly emphatize GTA as bs angel claimed it did
