On average, a median yield spread for any large company is about 15%-18%, net profits (after everything is paid, including taxes). As for Rockstar, off the rip they had to lay down about $250-$300M, and that's the gross, not net. So, bottom line is the company probably netted around $127M so far and I bet their stock prices are up huge (which is where the real money is made- not in the product itself, but expectations in the markets that bring new investors to the table)., as well as the higher dividends paid to shareholders. Good day, DrDetroit

Love it, although I'm still getting use to the controllers....never had a console, so the controls are goofy to me. Pretty damn cool though. I agree about the handling, nothing like GTAIV...more arcade like in feel...but cool none-the-less. DrDetroit

That is correct....I'm going to pickup a PS3 console today for GTAV, then I will pickup the PC version when it comes out. This is the business model, and it works. DrDetroit

Holy cow! Are you guys sure that's not Photoshopped or something? Those screens look like real images/pics...no jaggies, color and clarity perfect, damn! DrDetroit

Ha! Loved that show to death...was one of a kind. Wish they'd syndicate it again so the series would air in it's entirety. Would also be cool to see Skully and Mulder ped walking around LC as an Easter Egg. Maybe Los Santos ;-) X-Files...ahhh the good ole' days. Sorry about going OT. DrDetroit

Apparently Indonesia. DrDetroit

All kinds of weird shit goin' on in LC..what's new! Check out a few GTAIV myth sites, there are all kinds of easter egg and game myths out there, from UFOs to Ghosts and the infamous Ratman. Also a myth is Eddie whats-his-face, the serial killers, crash pad. Whom, coincidentally, you fight in round-2 of the fighting matches. I forget them all, there are many. As Mulder's UFO poster states: "I Want To Believe" DrDetroit

Going to grab the PS3/GTAV bundle tomorrow night ($269). Can't wait to check it out. I told my girl that the plan is to stay in the entire weekend...no dinner out, no bar, club, restaurant...nothing. Got a weird look.... DrDetroit

There is a ped in Middle Park that looks exactly like Tommy, wearing a Hawaiian shirt. A guy even got a vid of Tommy walking down the sidewalk (check google)...look just like him, maybe a tad fatter....who knows for sure. Peeps really claim Lola is walking the streets of Times Square between midnight and 4am, with a lolli pop...true or not, who knows. Never seen anything other than the Heart of Liberty city in the Statue of Happiness. DrDetroit

There is a site related to the GTAIV myths, I think it's GTAmyths.com (google). There are numerous myths and easter eggs related to GTAIV, whether they are true or not, it's up to you to find out. Try looking for the "Ratman" mythical ped, also Lola is roaming around LC (I think that's her name...chick with the lollie pop), Tommy is too...if you look you may see them. DrDetroit

You're in the wrong forums bud...try ARMAII. Beat cops would not be fighting a foreign enemy...not as a cop anyhow. Gotta be like 10-years old to come up with something like the OP suggested. DrDetroit

The reason folks are skeptical about the PC version coming out is because RDR was never released for the PC platform, which was a huge disappointment for me, really wanted to check that game out. Other than that, probably no other reason to think the PC version will not be available, in due time. With that said, I'm really trying hard not to go out and buy an XboX tonight and warm it up with a game of RDR, until Tuesday when GTAV comes out. Really trying very hard to control my urges....not sure if I'm gonna be able to hold out much longer. DrDetroit

Harper is correct. The game will be on PC, every iteration has since the inception of the GTA series, which was born from the PC platform to begin with. DrDetroit

Now that's my idea of Golf! DrDetroit

Only mod your noose, nstockade, polpatriot and fbi with ELS cars. Those slots do not spawn unless you request noose. If you mod police-police4 with ELS, it will cause issue unless you have an uber machine, and even then there may be issues. The police-police4 slots always spawn constantly and with the high poly counts of the ELS cars, on top of the fact that ELS reproduces the model every few seconds (door glitch), so will strain your system and probably crash. Also when modding cars, only install one car at a time. Then run the game for awhile, because some cars are just f'ed up and will crash your game. I have a few cars I'd love to use, but they crash my game every time (like one of the ELS Vapid Cruisers crashes my game every time I try to use it). EDIT: ELSv7 is very stable and should not cause issue. Good luck, DrDetroit

That is yet another reason why you gotta be very diligent when buying one of those things. They get the crap beat out of 'em, as evidenced in the vid. The British cop getting body slammed by his own car was pretty wild. The crazy thing is, that cop jumped right back on his feet and pursued the hit/run guy on foot! Without missing a step! Damn!! DrDetroit

With EFLC it's police3 most of the time. If you drive a noose, polpatriot or nstockade or FBI, they will not take your car (usually). Seems they will take the prisoner to the nearest police-police4 cars for the most part. A few times they jump in my Tahoe (polpatriot) but very rare. DrDetroit

Wow bro, that is one well done video; very touching....very sad. Who'd have thought those two words used with a GTAIV vid. Thanks for posting the work. DrDetroit

When I show up at your families memorial..maybe a mother or fathers, and announce..."so what the big deal!! it's been 12-years, come on and get over itl! He's dead and your mom probably did it" Tell me then it's just an opinion you asshole. Think before you speak if you don't want to get slapped around like a bitch. DrDetroit

Yes, it's not something anybody here will soon forget. The attack ruined thousands of lives, not just those killed, but their family, children who will never see their parent(s), friends, relatives...the ripple effect goes on and on through the lives of thousands more that have to live with the loss to this day. It certainly does not seem like 12-years ago, seems like yesterday to me. So you jackasses that think we should forget about it....FYOU in the ASS fuckers!!! Tell me that when you lose your peeps, sons and daughters, mothers and fathers, in some insane murder that takes out thousands of your peeps. Some of you make me sick and violent. DrDetroit
