The BBC have covered the launch of GTA IV on the 6 o’clock news. True, they covered the launch of Halo 3 as well but it’s pretty unusual to find any form of games coverage at all on the BBC these days. As is usual for mainstream media, the report mainly focuses on the fact it’s rated 18 and not for kids, although their is a business angle to it as well saying how much money is now involved in the industry. Of interest to most though will be where the guy shown playing the game was apparently able to buy a copy from before release date???
