Rockstar Social Club pre-registration starts April 17 photo

Rockstar's Web site for the forthcoming "Rockstar Social Club" has been updated to indicate that pre-registration will begin this Thursday, April 17.

The only social club I've ever wanted to be a part of was the Timex Social Club. The seven man 1980s rap group may have only had one hit single -- 1986's "Rumors" -- but boy, was it a good one.

But this Rockstar Social Club to coincide with the release of Grand Theft Auto IV intrigues me. Online leaderboards (for single and multiplayer), a virtual police blotter, wine, cheese ... what doesn't this social club have? Well, the answer is a catchy single like "Rumors," of course. But that's not going to stop me from signing up later in the week ... or from asking our readers to come up with a catchy pop single for the Rockstar Social Club. 

To be clear -- no, this isn't a contest. I just want to put you guys to work.

[Thanks, bam2003]

Dammit, Jdub beat me to it. Anyway, blah blah being a non-conformist is neat, etc. etc.

I'm still debating if I should let my kids starve or pick-up this game.

This is big news.

Yeah, so with GTA IV not being Crackdown, expect major disappointment. Bigger than what the ending of MGS4 will be.

I think you are a firestarter and you secretly have 2 copies of GTAIV reserved.

Umm, no. I don't want it. I don't need it. I don't want stuff shoved in my face. Don't convert me, just accept me.

Its a good thing that was confirmed, that was what was keeping me from preordering.

Oh, so now if you like *any* popular franchise, you're a mindless sheep? Got it.

Good to know I haven't enjoyed EVERY game in the GTA series (including the original) because they were good games, but because I'm baa-ing to the beat of a peer pressure drummer.

Nick is now the coolest person on this site for the Timex Social Club reference.

did you hear the one about susan?
some say she's much too loose
that came straight from a guy
who claims he's tastin' her juice

Lyrics are epic.

@nightdehumidifier -

Bill Vaughan wrote "If there is anything the nonconformist hates worse than a conformist, it's another nonconformist who doesn't conform to the prevailing standard of nonconformity."

While your sophomore english teacher told you that critical and original thought and critique is integral to your develpoment as an educated person, it's still acceptable to like something that is generally accepted by the masses. Let us know when you get out of high school and can do some real thinking for yourself.
