Alright, so who's got their review copies already but not allowed to tell, raise your hands please. Nobody? Unless you're on Rockstar's Super Special Secret Friend's List (or you're a scum-of-the-Earth pirate) you're not supposed to have these in hand until next week Monday. And you're certainly not supposed to be videotaping the introduction of the game and posting it a week in advance just to get hits on YouTube.
Well who am I to deny some random account its fifteen minutes of forgotten-forever-by-next-week fame? Watch if you will (it's harmless enough -- it's just the intro plus a bit of sloppy driving). Warning, click play below and spoilers (plus some really crappy video capture) abound.
[Video removed from YouTube. If you want to track the appearance/disappearance/reappearance of the video, you can follow it here.]
By the way, did you catch the part in 1UP's blowout interview with Rockstar's Sam Houser where he suggests future GTAs could be too big for the Xbox 360? How fast you want to bet Microsoft hitches up to the Blu-ray bandwagon if Rockstar makes GTA V Blu-ray exclusive? Assuming the latter's no more than two or three years away, what makes anyone think they (Rockstar) won't?
Update: Looks like the video's gone into permanent whack-a-mole mode, meaning you'll probably find it popping up intermittently then disappearing again for the next several days. Those of you who absolutely can't stand not to be in the know probably know how to find it if you want it.

Fearless or feckless? Have your say below or pelt me with emails here.
7 mins down (though i cant see the video because its blocked by my workplace).... 700,000 mins left to go until someone beats the game 100%
Found a couple clips on youtube and it's classic GTA madness! I can't wait till next week!
