Less than a week till the whole world stops for Grand Theft Auto IV and the marketing train has commenced here at the U.S. We seen the European ads and even hear about reported leaks at various spots of the world (Australia and some spots in Europe), and the billboards have started to rollout. These sets of billboards are nearby my neck of the woods at Downtown Los Angeles while other billboards have surfaced at other spots. What's interesting about these billboards is that they are not advertising both PS3 and 360 versions (I think this Downtown LA one is for the 360 while I have seen other ones promoting the PS3 version). Then again, these ads have somewhat in question with Fox News trying to ban them at Chicago. I'm still curious how much baggage this will carry with the government being how controversial it is in the past, but I think it won't cause any problems unless something questionable is seen and noted to make them pissed off. It is only a matter of time when the leakage of footage spreads among the interwebs, and Rockstar has been on tight lockdown on anyone who uploads some of it as well as playing it early to be recognized in PSN and XBL servers. To me, it's still amazing that we are a week away for gaming nirvana with GTA IV.
