I am still trying to understand why anyone would bother with GTA as a whole, but what you learn is that different people have different preferences.

I never played GTA ever. Never Mt style of game. Not a fan of sandbox. But on a phone where I'm not paying $60 for it and can hop in, kill a few hookers, then get on eith my day... I can see it
 
both are good for nothing. True graphical test can be tested via gta.

Actually WP Bench is a very reliable benchmarking app that scales properly with hardware and software improvements.

There's a reason why people at MS still use it for testing their code before release...
 
It got released for Android a bit early, but they fixed the issues soon after the release.
 
I'm also 40. Actually 42. I'm surprised I can still walk without a cane. I'm not allowed to play games, I'm too old. My fingers can't keep up. Life is hell at this age. The things I have seen, the places I have been.

My kind of guy! That sounds like a solid plan, and I plan on doing exactly this.
 
Okay the 22nd is almost over here (EST, 23.30) so I'm giving up hope for today. Hopefully tomorrow as an early Christmas present when I wake up.

Twas the night before GTA... We wish :)
 
I would like to think release is imminent, yet I remember the Halo disaster where some wp8 users had to wait an extra month...and that was ms OWN title/product !
 
I'm guessing that the holiday period is causing delays with the cert process? I just wish it would launch on the store already. Does anyone know what time items usually get posted on the store? Is it early in the morning like the store on the Xbox 360 or do apps get added throughout the day?

That's different. Halo was exclusive to Verizon customers for a month, so it was planned. I doubt it's part of the plan to make us wait this long for GTA:SA.

Edit:

I just tweeted Major Nelson to see if he knows anything about the release, hopefully he replies back soon.

The fact rockstar where sure it was releasing last week proves release date is out of their hands.
When ms will finally release gta is anyone's guess but the concern is developers will become tired of the way ms has little regard for them and turn away from windows phone development...for example what happened to the Gameloft game's we where promised for 2013 (total conquest,etc)...I hope things improve,being the last in line for everything is not much fun.
