If you see a website offering a direct download of a 700MB file called "GTA_V_Legacy_PS2.iso," do not waste your bandwidth. You will either end up with a virus or a broken mod of CJ riding a bike through a poorly textured Los Santos.

But does this file actually exist? Or is it the Holy Grail of lost game builds?
