And maybe GT4, and any other games that are exclusively PS2?

Currently I think it's a ridiculous idea, but I really do want to play San Andreas and I don't want to have to wait a year or whatever to play it on my XBOX. My PC is ancient, and I do plan to update it to the max, but don't have that kind of money at the moment.

Your taunts of 'Grand Theft Auto games are crap' will fall on deaf ears - I'm a major fan of the series.

Your thoughts, or if you have any information at all about an xbox release that would be great.

Oh, and when is Halo 2 out?

It isn't out on PC until June/July so Xbox will most likely be September/October by which time no doubt another GTA will be near PS2 realease..

I think £100 is more than well spent, on a US one that is.

Over the next couple of months:

Killzone
Metal Gear 3
Gran Turismo 4
Ratchet and Clank: Up your Arsenal (looks like the best platformer of this generation)
Xenosaga 2
Devil May Cry 3
Tekken 5
Ace Combat 5
Smackdown vs. Raw
Jak 3

One thing in common, they are all exclusive.

Judging by the fact that the official Xbox magazine prints San Andreas screenshots and also the way that IGN every now and then print San Andreas news in the Xbox section, I'd say we'll be getting it sometime next year.

God knows there's no way in hell I'll be paying out for a PS2 just to play one game, I'd really like to play it though at some point.

You people who are, are completly nuts.

£100 to play one game?

Madness.

The Xbox version will be out when the next GTA is announced. This is what happened with Vice City. At first Sony had a contract with Rockstar that Vice City would be exclusive, but when San Andreas was announced Rockstar wanted to release it on both ps2 and Xbox, so Sony made a new contract so that Vice City would be released for Xbox, but in exchange San Andreas would be ps2 exclusive, so when a new GTA is announced , the same would probably happen. I read that in PSM2. Could be wrong though...
