When will the new "GTA:Vice City" commercials air? - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

Now that the big gaming season of Fall has arrived with the likes of Onimusha 2, Star Fox Adventures, TDOF, and others, when will the commercials for the new game air? It's like "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" (little ad play, surprise hit at the box office), but it's a game, for crying out loud.

The first two GTA Games had little air time, but the third changed that. With commericals that looked like movie previews played with classical music, the game went on to become a best-selling PS2 title, and it's still hanging in there.

About the only Rockstar game commercial they're airing is Midnight Club: Greatest Hits, with a little title at the end saying: "Coming SOon: Midnight Club II". Out of all the Rockstar games, GTAIII is still the best.

The game doesnt come out until October 29th, I would guess they are going to start airing commercials in early Oct. Anyway, the awareness is already through the roof, I have heard they already have 4 million preorders and the Supr Software near my house has already cutoff all preorders. I think this could well be one of the biggest games ever.
