" This week, Rockstar has finally started to deliver its promised stimulus finding to GTA Online players as compensation for launch issues. Half a million dollars might sound like a lot of money, and it&amp;#039;s true that it would take a long time to earn such a large sum of cash by holding up convenience stores, duking it out in death matches and racing muscle cars. Even so, the money can be spent in a matter of seconds. With this in mind, Digital Spy looks at some of the best ways for GTA Online players to splash their cash. Property Ladder  Perhaps the most obvious, not to mention smartest thing to do with all of that cash is to invest in a safe house. At $400,000, the luxury Eclipse Towers Apartment 31 can be yours with money to spare, and it even comes with a 10-car garage.  Alternatively, if you want to spread your cash a little thinner, you could spend $217,000 on an apartment on Altra Street, just by the financial district, and still have enough money to pick up lots of other little treats. If you prefer to steer clear of Los Santos altogether, be sure to at least pick up a garage for all of your cars in Blaine County, perhaps the one hidden away by the wind turbines.      Pimp my Ride  Speaking of cars, with $500,000 in cash, there&amp;#039;s only one garage to visit, and it isn&amp;#039;t Southern San Andreas Super Autos. If you want the finest automobiles, then you should really think about looking up the Legendary Motorsport online store.  You won&amp;#039;t be able to afford all of the luxury vehicles, but for $440,000 you can purchase the speedy Infernus, while $490,000 unlocks the zippy Monroe. Alternatively, for something a little more sophisticated, why not pick up the Super Diamond for a quarter of a million?  With money to spare, you can even take it to Los Santos Customs and fit it with new rims, lights, armour and turbochargers. Just don&amp;#039;t forget to insure it when you do.      Land and Sea  Cars are pretty easy to come by in GTA, so it might be wiser to invest in alternative forms of transport. Half a million dollars will safely buy you boats and planes, which means that you can dominate the online community by both land and sea - aerial travel is particularly useful for getaways.  With our first quarter of a million instalment we&amp;#039;d opt for the plucky Mallard plane, followed by the Squalo speedboat with the second cash bonus, as well as the Seashark jet-ski and maybe even a $10,000 Endurex race bike just for the hell of it. With this combination you can forget about regular triathlons, and opt instead to race bikes, speedboats and planes across GTA Online&amp;#039;s gargantuan map.      The Ultimate Shopping Spree  Potentially more costly than buying boats, planes, cars and homes, one of the coolest ways to blow all of that cash would be to embark on the ultimate shopping spree. First up we&amp;#039;d recommend hitting all of the high-end clothes shops in Los Santos and Blaine County and buying every combination of clothing imaginable, from sharp suits, shades and shoes to designer tees, shorts and sandals. Our next stop would be Ammunation, picking up all of the best weapons (level permitting), armour, ammo and hunting gear - maybe even getting in some target practice out back - before hitting Vespucci Movie Masks for some disguises. With a bucketload of weapons and ammo, an extensive wardrobe and lots of disguises, it&amp;#039;s time for a good old-fashioned GTA Online crime wave, potentially pausing to hit the tattoo parlours to get some commemorative ink for every rival we waste.
