GTA4: Social Club & MP3s

Yesterday Rockstar Games published a press release about a new project. I am not talking about a new game, but about the website Social Club. But what does this has to do with GTA? Read the press release to find out what the Social Club is.

GTA IV, the first game featured on the Rockstar Social Club, has exciting features beyond multiplayer leaderboards, including:

# LCPD Police Blotter -- A virtual map and tracker of single-player criminal activity logged in Liberty City from the aggregated data of millions of connected players - showing the most dangerous areas of town, most commonly used weapons and more.

# The Story Gang -- This special single-player leaderboard recognizes players who complete Niko Bellic’s main story arc of Grand Theft Auto IV - The leaderboard ranks players according to the total amount of playing time it's taken to complete the story, as well as a historical rank by who has completed it first. Members of this club will receive special online widgets and merit badges marking all of their in-game accomplishments.

# The 100% Club -- Watch to see who will be the first to complete 100% of the game. The first ten people to be identified on the Social Club as reaching 100% will be sent an ultra-rare commemorative 'key to the city' to mark their accomplishment. In the future, the 100% Club will then carry a historical leaderboard showing rankings of who has completed 100% of a game in the shortest span of playing hours.

# The Hall of Fame -- This area will dynamically recognize those singularly elite players who have reached the top of the hill on various statistical leaderboards, and will also contain a personal awards display of special in-game landmarks and successes in Social Club competitions.

# The Liberty City Marathon -- A ranking of special physical milestones achieved in the game - from the amount of miles walked, driven, or swam - to the number of bullets fired and stunt-jumps jumped. There will be additional special marathon-based competitions in the future from this area as well.

The Rockstar Social Club doesn’t stop there. With special competitions, leaderboards and challenges rolling out regularly in the weeks and months following the game’s release, this is just the beginning of an on-going Liberty City experience and is a small taste of what’s to come from Rockstar Games for GTA IV and beyond…

But that's still not everything Social Club has to offer. Rockstar Games starts a new partnership with Amazon. As you might know, Amazon.com sells MP3 files without any copy protection on their site. So if you like a song you are listening to in GTA IV, it's very easy to buy it on Amazon. Just call ZIT-555-0100 with your ingame cellphone and if you are registred at Social Club, you get a message with a link to your personally chosen playlist at Amazon. Now you can buy these songs for about 89 to 99 cents per song! An interesting new way of selling music. What do you think about it? Will you buy music in GTA IV?

das mit dem Club hört sich gut an.
die frage is nur machen sie es au für den PC, weil man da ja so viel bescheißen kann, dann sind die ergebnisse verfälscht.

und mit der Musik is mir völlig egal, kich höre seid GTA3 eh nur meine eigene MP3´s.

Aber habt ihr jetzt mal irgendwelche Offizielen Infos voner PC-Version gehört???
weil wenn se das nit machen, renn ich denen die Bude ein, und noch ein paar Million Leute!!!
