The leaking of the game, which makes its (legal) PAL debut in just nine days time, isn't quite a disaster for developer Rockstar on the same scale as the Halo 2 leak was for Bungie, largely because the game is so close to its official release (at the time of the Halo 2 leak, there was still 26 days to go before the game launched). And with an illegally modded PlayStation 2 required to play the downloadable version, it's difficult to see a serious dent being made in the game's commercial performance.
Nevertheless, it will come as little comfort to Rockstar that the game has been sneaked out in such a fashion, and is likely to raise fresh concerns amongst publishers over such high-profile leaks in the future.
As always, more as it breaks.
