Those of you who were horribly offended by the "Hot Coffee" secret sex scenes within Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas are entitled to a cash payout that will basically allow you to buy ... well, a cup of a hot coffee.

The 2005 Windows release of GTA:SA included a mod that allowed players to enter the main character's bedroom and control his actions while he had sex with his various girlfriends. Initially, there was no nudity involved, but crafty programmers soon figured out how to disrobe the women.

The controversy prompted a July 2005 class-action lawsuit from an 85-year-old grandmother who purchased the video game for her 14-year-old grandson. The parties reached a settlement agreement in November 2007 that provides payouts between $5 and $35.

A settlement Web site has been set up, which provides details on what sort of payout those who were shocked (shocked!) by the game can expect. If you were among the lucky ones to purchase GTA:SA before July 2005, get ready for your payday after the jump:
