Yes.

None that I know of.

ill be able to use my save games with the genuine ver right?
Yes indeed. All you need to do is to create a GFW (Games for Windows) a/c & you'll be good to go.

thanks guys.
@Ethan
i blv that you own one.do you get any frequent crashes or errors?
because i read at many places that many users ended up downloading fakes cause the genuine ones were giving errors.

^All I have is the review copy handed to me by my friend. That hasn't coughed up with any error till now. A lot of my friends have got the legal copy & have experienced no issues till now. BTW when you say the original DVD has errors, do you mean installation errors or in-game issues technical issues?

The crashes & error problems are not related to the legit copy of the game. The game itself has certain patching which needs to be done & tweaks which needs to be applied. Also make sure your graphic drivers & .NET Framework & Windows updates are in place.

In all my total experience with the game, it's been flawless. It only crashed on me once when I tried to change the track on the Independence FM (station to your custom music). Apart from that not many issues.

I have the original GTA4 DVD bought from Landmark for Rs. 499. As Ethan_Hunt said, it is working flawlessly for me. Not even a single crash happened for me. No errors related to the DVDs either.

i bought a legal copy of GTA IV from lamington road(mumbai).
it had some CRC error, i just ignored it and the game was installed.....
by the way for India, do we get GTA IV DVD's in paper pockets inside the main hard cardboard case????

Yea.. Thats how I got it. :( you really cant expect a jewel case for 500/- .. ;)

IMHO,
its better to get original games in paper packs @ low cost than jewel case @ high cost.
I can easily buy a jewel case @ 20-25/- from local market. :D
