Grand Theft Auto Xbox Bundle Confirmed

Thanks to several readers for pointing out the Take Two/Rockstar press release announcing a GTA3/GTA:Vice City 'double pack', due on November 4th for Xbox, and October 22nd for PlayStation 2, ending a myriad of rumors regarding when the massively popular title would appear on Microsoft's console. In related news, Take Two also announced positive financial results and the acquisition of struggling publisher TDK Mediactive for $22.7 million, largely for their "portfolio of mass-market titles based on popular licensed brands."

Regarding the Sony-Rockstar Games deal... by MMaestro · 2003-09-03 13:04 · Score: 0, Offtopic

I have no evidence to show (feel free to contribute) but I believe the deal between the two ended after GTA:VC, which makes logically sense since they've been porting their games like crazy after the GTA:VC release.
So far they've ported GTA3, GTA:VC, Midnight Club 2 and State of Emergency to the PC, GTA3 and GTA:VC, Midnight Club 2 to the XBox and Smuggler's Run:Warzones to the Gamecube. I don't know about you guys, but that sounds like a lot of games to be ported considering their coming from a developer who uses to make one system exclusive games.
