According to Kotaku, 6.3 GB file of the PAL version of Grand Theft Auto IV for the Xbox 360 was ripped and leaked to various sites at 11:50 am EST today. "An NTSC version is expected within the next 48 hours," reports Kotaku.

Additionally, the complete intro sequence of the game was leaked and quickly pulled from YouTube and similar video sites today.

This isn't the first time a Grand Theft Auto game has been pirated online. In 2004, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was leaked a week before its release as well, confirming the passionate following and high interest for the franchise.

The PS3 hasn't been hacked to that degree yet. Small hacks here and there but Bluray along with other snafus are making the PS3 a bit testy when it comes to hacking. Hell, I wished someone would hack the PS3 in an effective manner. I would explore those options.
