Well, Grand Theft Auto V came out last night.

The highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto V was released at midnight yesterday, and to no surprise has managed to break the record for highest sales in 24 hours. Distributors Take-Two Interactive have announced that the game has managed to achieve a staggering $800m (�490m) worth of sales within the first day, and is certainly going to break the forecasted $1 billion within the week.

The record was previous held by Activision's Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 which made $500m within 24 hours in 2012. The game also holds the title for the quickest entertainment product to achieve $1 billion in sales as they hit the mark by day 15. GTAV is looking to over take this by a considerable amount as it has already been confirmed as the biggest entertainment launch in the UK alone by selling 1.57 million copies on day one.

I'm not one against violent video games any more than my folks were against us kids playing cops and robbers or cowboys and indians with our toy pistols and rifles, but this is one game franchise the kids know I don't allow in the house. Jmho.

Heck, have you ever played it?

Don't judge a book by its cover, or by what the liberal media preaches.

Got to play an earlier one.. encouraging a thug lifestyle was the best thing I could say about it. I'm a bit of a stickler that if it's going to be a violent game, you'd better be playing the good guys.

So who'd you get to play the robbers when you were a kid playing cops and robbers?

The robbers always lost. As did the indians. We were sooooo un-PC.
