what do you mean by midnight release?
i am a some-what a fan of GTA, but i really didn't like GTA4. i think GTA 5 will be mush better.
I played a great deal of san andreas on the PS2. great game.
Yes I have also played that a lot on PS2, I have also played GTA 3, Liberty City Stories on PS2 and Vice City Stories on PC. I could play for hours, I love driving around sensibly and recklessly and going on rampages in rhinos(tanks)..
