here is some more new info
(ill post it here coz its not worth another gta:vsc thread lol)

A few hours ago news popped out about a Vice City Stories preview in the Official PlayStation 2 Magazine (UK). Screenshots with ugly watermarks surfaced on one website, but we now have them - in higher resolution too! The screenshots can be seen below - with the first two being brand new. Be sure to read the details from the article after the jump.

• The Phoenix and Stinger makes a return to Vice City.
• Vic and Lance have grown up poor, and you start off in a trailer park - that's brand new to Vice City.
• There's a whole new cast of characters.
• Not only is the city bigger, it's more detailed.
• Buildings look cleaner, signs are at a much higher resolution, and the palm trees look better.
• Brand new pedestrians, and groups of the same type appear less together.
• Missions are much more varied than previous GTA's.
• Water effects have been improved, with a ''choppy-looking surface'' and weather affecting vehicle handling and swimming.
• Helicopters control smoothly
• Rockstar Leeds has been listening to YOUR thoughts on Liberty City Stories, like controlling issues, swimming and flying etc.
• As you probably know, the biker gang makes a return to Vice City. But, according to this article Big Mitch Baker will be the leader again. So expect to see him in the game!
• In one screenshot we see a silenced SMG.

Something I didn't notice before that can be and seen in some screenshots, is that Vic has a tattoo on his right arm. He is after all a US Marine, so chances are he has this from the beginning of the game. We'll have to wait for more info in the coming weeks to see if there's any word on vehicle or character customization.

iso's aren't illigal first off all iso is a format that contains a disk image it is used for other things also then psp. you can always make a back up from your own game in iso format and use it later for PERSONAL use. Sony can mayby say they own the umd format but that doesen't makes it illigal to make back-up as you have a personal use licence for your umd so keep that in mind. Mayby the laws in us are diffrend but that's wath i know for most country's in europe.

when you buy a game you buy a liscence to 1 copy of it. so called "back ups" are still illegal unless you pay £40 for them!!!!!

that's bulshit as long your using it for personal use you can make as much copies you want when yiu give that iso to a friend then it's illigal.

EDIT: then would istalling windows be illigall to as your making a copy from the cdrom to your hard drive.

i dont know about the windows but i have read somewhere that you pay for 1 licence of the game. ill bet if you go to sony HQ playing a ripped iso from a umd you have, and you say to the sony worker guy "hey look im playing a backed up UMD" he would tell you off and sent you to the dungeons

Microsoft have guide on there website on how to slipstream installation CDs. Im not 100% sure on the law but most ppl say you can make a backup copy for your own use. Its sort of gray area. DVDs say that you arent permitted to lend them to ppl but everyone still does. So long as you arent sellin the backup/copies or giving them away for free the copyrights holder probably wont give a sh*t.
