Stock car races - Win a series of new Stock Car Races to earn unique custom Muscle Cars adorned with logos from some of the companies that made this country great.

You will only be able to transfer your character once. After transferring your character to PS4, Xbox One or PC, you can continue playing with him/her on your PS3 or Xbox 360 but the progress you make while playing is not shared to the character you transferred to your new version.

GTA 5 May be released November 4th for PS4 users
Exciting information!! - PS4 users are in for a surprise according to a report on GamePlane.de, they're claiming there is an early PS4 GTA 5 release planned November the 4th, (the same release date for Call of duty - advanced warfare) which could deliver the game 2 weeks ahead of the original GTA 5 release of November the 18th. Sony and Rockstar have a great relationship, so this wouldn't be too much of a surprise.
Playstation Universe (http://www.psu.com/news/24856/null) who revealed the huge GTA 5 download size of 50Gb, also includes details about a potential early GTA 5 release for the PS4.
GamePlane.de states that GTA 5 was available to pre-order digitally from the PlayStation Store on October the 2nd for a brief time. However, it then disappeared from the store, but is still viewable in the download queue. However, A quick look on the download queue confirms that the launch date for GTA V on PS4 is now listed as November 4, 2014---a full two weeks before it was originally intended to go sale.
An early PS4 GTA 5 release date would make many gamers happy, but it is a possibility that its simply an error and accidentally went live. Pages for products like this go live early sometimes and they are left with old or placeholder information.
Current games like Destiny and Call of duty offer a free trade up option for users coming from PS3 to PS4 or Xbox 360 to Xbox One there is not yet any information about any trading up deals for GTA 5 on PS4 and Xbox One. However, A Ps4 and Xbox one deal chopped 50% off of the price last week, but it is no longer available. Hopefully when we approach the release date there will be an announcement for a discounted option for upgrading.

GtaOnline update 1.17 now live for download !
Also part of today’s automatic update, they’ve now globally synchronized the Job voting screens, allowing them to merge sessions where players have voted on the same Job. This, combined with the on-call matchmaking introduced in a previous update allows players to find the Jobs they like more easily, and to stay with as many like-minded players as possible. There are lots of additional changes and tweaks to GTA Online. These include the ability to now go on-call for activities like Arm-Wrestling, Darts or Golf or to quick match with your friends for those activities using the option in your phone, as well as an increase in the maximum bet limit from GTA$2,500 to GTA$10,000.
There is 10 new LTS's;
Alta (Rank 16, 2-8 Players)
Less violent than the average apartment building residents' committee meeting, this cramped LTS pits two wings of a building against each other. Try to stay on the rooftops, and look for long-ranged attacks across the courtyard and close-quarters clashes on the footbridge.
Del Perro Freeway (Rank 23, 2-16 Players)
Draw a line in the sand with this Del Perro Beach LTS. Teams start at either end of the beachfront houses. They can go at each other directly or take the pedestrian bridges across the WH to pick up weapons. Dr. Friedlander isn't running his conflict resolution seminar this week.
Grand Banks (Rank 9, 3-12 Players)
As good a place as any to make a stand, three groups take the third way at the Grand Banks Steel foundry. Fight on the rooftops, in the tunnels, and along the gangways to be the only team that doesn't get to fulfil their death wish.
Hawick (Rank 16, 2-16 Players)
Two teams snipe each other from rooftops or get down and dirty in the alleys with shotguns until there's only one of them left. Hawick hasn't seen this many unfortunate accidents since speedballs were cool in the 80s.
Mount Josiah (Rank 29, 2-16 players)
When the dust settles, and the rivers stop running with blood, who'll be left on top of the second highest mountain in Southern San Andreas? Two teams fight to be king of the hill on the open, almost coverless slopes of Mount Josiah.
N.O.O.S.E. (Rank 9, 2-8 Players)
Something's happening behind the mysterious chain link fences, and non-descript 'government facility' signs off the Palomino Freeway. Two teams have taken time off from spying on personal communications to fight for supremacy on the rooftops, walkways, and parking lots of the N.O.O.S.E. facility. Look up for the best weapons.
Paleto Bay - Tanks (Rank 29, 2-16 Players)
Some places get all the luck. Two teams face off with tanks and explosives and don't mind if they turn the whole town to rubble. Who'll be left standing in what's left of Paleto Bay?
Skyscraper (Rank 36, 2-16 Players)
There's no escape from Los Santos. One team tries to hold out at the top of a skyscraper construction site armed only with sniper rifles and heavy weapons. The other team launches a four pronged assault in Buzzard attack helicopters.
Storm Drain (Rank 23, 2-16 Players)
Gang warfare's gotten really out of hand as two teams come at each other with tanks, motorbikes, and explosives in the concrete channel of the LS River. Try to stay in the storm drain, and don't worry about flash flooding, there's a drought in San Andreas after all.
Tataviam Truckstop (Rank 16, 2-8 Players)
Lonely truckers and enterprising hitchhikers are in for a scare as this pit stop on the Palomino sees its share of the action. Small scale LTS that'll make good use of the Heavy Shotgun.
