DVD editions coming out WEEKS AFTER LAUNCH is what shits me. They MADE DVD versions: they tested them, and shipped them. They just didn't SELL them till AFTER I've bought their bullshit 6CD set. Grrrr.

Aly: database. I've got hundreds of those bloody keys, because I always lose slips or manuals or whatever its on.

I already have a database, and I already have 6 papers printed up AND two of the fucking keys were copied down wrong.

More news:

The official PC and XBox sites have launched, IGN has some new screens, and GTAGaming has a nice (and massive!) exclusive screenshot

Also, the specs from the official site are the same as the ones I posted in the OP, but they also state that only Win2k SP1 or WinXP (Both with DX9) are supported. They also recommend a GeForce 6 series video card and an Audigy 2 sound card. Finally, the official site also hints at official mod support. Could this mean some official tools for the first time?
どうして?お前が夜に自身お触れるから。
Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shape-shifting Master of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil,
but a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow
was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! Now, the fool
seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Aku...

Hey, DPDP, I finally got a response to that email I sent, regarding co-op objectives:
Hey Matt,

Thanks for the email. The co-operative missions in the PS2 version of
San Andreas were not required to attain 100% completion status, so their
absence from the PC version should not effect your ability to reach that
milestone.

Hope this helps,
Rockstar Games
This, of course, also absolutely confirms that there is no co-op.

Actually I've read that they are still trying to figure out how to implement it (if it is possible before release) and apparently - dum DE DUM! - GTA:SA will ship with full modders tool-kits and be mod-friendly on PC! WOOOOO!
