A: GTA4 will be out on the PC. Just after it comes out on the 360 and PS3 firstand
B: Sky are alright but they cunt you over on the following:
- Your sky box must be plugged into the phone line at all times. Unplug it in the first 12 months and they get seriously arsey about it.
- Their broadband covers less area than NTL's cable does.
- It's free, and customer service-wise you get what you pay for.
- You still have to pay BT line rental.
- By giving you a 'free' sky box and equipment they can charge you for call outs and the like, whereas NTL rent you the cable box as part of your fee.
I'm not anti-sky, I have sky plus and another box in my room, but if either fuck up I'll have to leave as I can't afford to replace them.

Yes, I have heard that Sky charge you a callout fee, whereas I know NTL do it free.NTL replaced my box 2 days ago because it kept freezing randomly (the picture was fine but the box and remote wouldn't work). This new one not only has the same problem, but is also emitting a nasty buzz which I can only put down to a wiring problem. Their answer? "Leave it a few days and it might fix itself". Well, that or I'll burn to death in an electrical fire...
