First review from the Euro OXM - http://kotaku.com/379302/yes-yes-the-first-grand-theft-auto-iv-print-review

Now, I won't link directly to where you can view the scans... but you can find a link rather easily in the comments at the above URL. Just sayin'.

Attention Australians

It seems as though you'll be unable to get the uncut version of GTA4 even if you order from New Zealand. Someone from the SA forums received this email:
Hi Brett,

We have been informed today that New Zealand will be receiving the same version of Grand Theft Auto IV as Australia.

As you have placed your order after Rockstar announced that the Australian version was edited, we are assuming that you will no longer require the game to be shipped from us, as we can't supply you with an uncut version.

The last thing we want to do is supply you with a product that does not meet your needs and we've therefore taken the liberty of removing your GTA4 order from our web site.

We certainly hope we can be more helpful to you in the future!

Kind Regards,

Katey

So unless you have a 360 that is not of that territory, you're pretty much SOL when it comes to the censored content. :(

What a load of garbage, I am despairing now :(

The UK is PAL, if I bought a UK version would it work on an Aussie Xbox (including online)?

Get it for the PS3. If I'm not mistaken, it doesn't have the gay territories problem.

Hahaha good find! I smell something fishy.

Actually that quote was from the SA forums. I had just copy and pasted it from a post there that was sent to a member. So the smilie was my bad, all thanks to the WYSIWYG editor automatically adding it.

In the email itself it was probably just a textual " :) " but the SA forums converted that to the smile, and the editor here when I pasted it, kept the SA graphic.

The email is legit, a number of persons claim to have gotten the same thing that have pre-ordered from that retailer.

I miss having hour long standoffs with the cops/FBI/army ontop of the cop station on Portland, there were never any good spots to do that on Vice or SA. I miss having enough free time to do that.

glad to know I"m not the only person this ammused to no end.

Steps to do

1: Find tall building that you get get on top of
2: Get on top of it
3: Start shooting some people, or if you aren't in the mood, molitoves make festive gifts
4: Watch those stars start
5: whip out gun of choice and enjoy for the longhaul

LMAO been shooting litterally thousands of cartridges during half an hour the other day at the cop/FBI just crouching still under the porche of my safehouse in the countryside in SA. (Montgomery IIRC)
