Now that Grand Theft Auto IV officially owns the entertainment world, CNET News.com reporter Daniel Terdiman looks at whether the one-day record of $315 million and the one-week record of $500 million in sales can be broken anytime soon.
Also on today's podcast, News Corp. says it's not in any talks to acquire or partner with Yahoo; defunct TorrentSpy says the $111 million judgment it's been ordered to pay to top Hollywood studios is nothing more than a "publicity stunt"; Congress wants to card kids looking to buy M- and AO-rated video games; and the RIAA says DRM is not dead.
