Everybody wants to take part and have a roll in the GTA IV madness, as I hear that Liberty City locals will enjoy the ability to navigate their way through the massive number of “points of interest”, interspersed across the town, with Google Maps. The service provides online social game mapping, allowing players to share their discovery points (like restaurants, clubs, bars, bowling, ATM, gun shops or Internet Cafe) with their friends, by simply adding markers on the map and pointing the exact location of the place. I wonder if someone has time to read this thing, as I find many of my friends busy all day, playing the game, burning the roads.

Remember the Xbox 360 limited-edition version, bundled with Grand Theft Auto IV? Turns out Sony has the same thing, as a 40GB PS3 console, packed with the desired game, has popped up in a Swedish retailer’s website, offering a nice designed GTA IV case along with all the required accessories. Price is extremely high, since the Scandinavian market is very expensive, but even though, 4,499 SEK ($755) won’t deter fanatic gamers from purchasing it. No details when this special edition is set to be released in the US, but be sure it will, for a much cheaper price.

As mentioned before, the expectation for the new GTA IV, turns me into an impatient critter, and the following possible PS3 map images, leaked just few hours ago, only increase the intolerance. The pictures include the next Liberty City itself, descriptions of various scene locations, the subway map and more. All in all, I fairly can say these images resemble to New York City one after the other, and although there is no official authenticity confirmation, I’m surely convinced they are real and not just a mockup.
