What is the Social Club?

"What is the Social Club? Well, it works like Bungie.net does for the Halo series. It's a website that offers GTA IV players around the world the chance to check stats from their games and how they compare to others around the world and it's open to anyone with either an Xbox Live Gamertag or a PlayStation Network ID."—GamesRadarGames Radar: Rockstar announces online Social Club service (March 27, 2008)
