Hasta La Gadget!

Just the other day, we reported on a rumor Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto 5 could possibly be jumping onto the microtransaction bandwagon in the near future. The rumor originated from someone on Reddit who happened to stumble onto the game requesting an XML file hosted on Rockstar’s site when attempting to access the store section in the game’s pause menu. It looks like if Rockstar Games is planning on offering microtransaction within Grand Theft Auto 5, it’ll be doing so once Grand Theft Auto Online launches.

The images Reddit user 1880 found look to offer in-game credit that range from $100,000 all the way up to $1.25 million in-game cash. In addition to those images, the following description was also found in the XML file:

“Cash is king in this town. Solve your money problems and help get what you want across Los Santos and Blaine County with the purchase of cash packs for Grand Theft Auto Online. All purchased cash is automatically deposited into your character’s bank account. Spend wisely, cash therapy is fleeting.”

At this point, Rockstar isn’t commenting on this recent discovery, although if Rockstar plans on making microtransactions possible in Grand Theft Auto Online, we’re sure they’ll make their announcement closer to its launch, which will take place on October 1.

Grand Theft Auto V is an incredibly detailed game. How detailed? Well, it features three protagonists: Three men with different lives, different outlooks, different incomes… and different cell phones.

Amazon could find itself struck off Rockstar Games’ Christmas card list after it delivered Grand Theft Auto V preorders to customers in the UK in advance of its September 17th release. Some customers reported receiving shipping notifications over the weekend, with additional reports suggesting the game had made it to some doorsteps as early as Saturday. Games Industry says that the company is already investigating these early sales, although we wouldn’t put it past some silent, rogue type like Claude from GTA 3. Microsoft is reportedly banning Xbox Live accounts belonging to those that shared early footage of the game, so if you did receive an early copy, make sure to refrain from sharing your impressive bank heists on social media and video sites until release day.

Heads up, boys and girls! I am quite sure that many of you are extremely excited with what Grand Theft Auto V will deliver when it finally hits store shelves. Well, you have been waiting for quite some time already, and here we are with word that Grand Theft Auto V PSN avatars can now be downloaded over at the PlayStation Store. These will cost $0.49 a pop, and you can choose from a range that will also include the three playable lead characters of Grand Theft Auto V.

Michael happens to be a professional ex-con whose retirement is a lot less rosy than he hoped it would be, while Franklin is a street hustler looking for real opportunities and serious money, with Trevor being a maniac with violent tendencies, who is driven by the chance of a cheap high and the next big score.

Much has been said and talked about Grand Theft Auto V in the past, where we did check out the gameplay trailer which was released earlier this month which delivered actual in-game footage, in addition to the possibility of the title breaking UK games sales records. Not only that, there has also been special hardware and bundles lined up to commemorate the Grand Theft Auto V launch.
