No sooner has the great Grand Theft Auto 4 piracy scandal

proven via a photograph of a purchase receipt on a
Playstation forum.

According to Tiga a national trade association representing games developers in the UK and Europe the recent budget is a missed opportunity to help games developers in the UK.

A retail date is yet to be announced.
