"Do I buy a PS2 just for San Andreas?"

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?

Yeah ALL YOU X-BOX LOVERS like it now don't you! Ha.

Was that supposed to be a taunt ?

Just play Vice City with a West Coast sountrack 5 times through and that's pretty much San Andreas for you.

Failing tht wait for it to get a release on Xbox next year. It's only GTA, it's not like it's gonna do much new.

Order currently being processed from videogameplus.ca - it doesn't really get THAT much better than GTA.

San Andreas looks even sweet than Vice City.

I like GTA, but I don't think it touches games like Halo and its soon to arrive sequel.

My local game is opening for an hour at midnight, I'll drive down and pick it up, got nothing else to do!

I agree, Vice City's city was poor compared to the first, felt very compact and limited.

Bloody Hell...it got 9.9 (Yes I sense a bribe here)on IGN and 9.6 on Gamespot. Sounds good enough to tide me over until Halo 2 in just over 2 weeks.

Just read both reviews and it sounds absolutely funking brilliant. My copy was shipped yesterday so I should hopefully have it maybe late Wednesday early Thursday.

There goes the weekend!
