Grand Theft Auto San Andreas is widely considered by many to be the greatest title in the games hugely successful history, and some attribute that to the hugely successful community ran mod and server list, San Andreas Multiplayer.
The team over at GTA Network today announced that Closed Beta client files have been handed out to select server developers, bringing the open release to just weeks away.

GTA Network promises to be the SA-MP of this generation with privately owned servers featuring custom scripts allowing for almost endless possibilities.
