GTA is not my territory, buuuuuut....

Can this still be called a "mod", when Gamespot has reported it to be hidden in the PS2 version as well? 

[SCerviche]

its not really a mod at all. The person who found the code on the pc verson only made the code work. he didnt include any sprites, sounds or anything. its already there on the disc, so yea you can do the same thing on the xbox/ps2 verson.

and to people who say its to violent, i'm just gonna sit back and laugh and enjoy playing GTA: SA

It flips a single bit. It changes a 0 to a 1. It really isn't a mod. (Although I still stand by my assertion that since it requires third party tools to access, it shouldn't be included in the ESRB's evaluation of the game)

ive played all the GTA's for the psx and ps2.. its been a great series and ive never wanted to get a rocket launcher and blow up some cars..

Since I deal with video games at the store I work at, this is the sum of the problem.

Due to content deemed equal to pornography, us stores took the games off the shelves, like, since when have you found porno in your local dept or toy store.


I know I've had my share of rejecting sales of GTA:SA to kids when they try to buy it, or even getting their parents to buy it, we warn them as well.


And dealing with a bit of Psyc and Sociology, the main problem with teens (and to a growing extent, older children) is that partents have less involvement in the raising of their children in comparison to the children's actual peers and ..... Television and the media.

The problem with what the ESRB did was now people are going to be searching for ROMS of the game, which are free, and now will be easier to get than the game.  So, before when we only let people that were 18 or older rent the game where I work, 12 to 13-year-olds are going to be able to get their hands on it for FREE!!!  Kind of messed up, I know.

Basically, the ESRB just made things worse by getting involved.
