Okay, so do you want the good news or the bad? The good news is that Rockstar Games has reportedly announced Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for PC during Q3 next year. As for the downside, it appears that the publisher currently has no plans to bring the much lauded crime epic to the Xbox.
Take-Two's financial report, released yesterday, revealed that "additional products planned for fiscal 2005 from Rockstar Games include Grand Theft Auto for PC in the third quarter." However, there was absolutely no mention of an Xbox incarnation, which is bound to worry hordes of ardent followers of Microsoft's black box.
Indeed, when we visited Rockstar's London H.Q. recently, a spokesperson told us that it was unaware of any "other versions currently in development as all energies were being channelled into the PS2 game" - a statement which probably partly explains why the PC port is pencilled in for such a late release.
Still, we have to admit, it does seem strange that Rockstar is planning a PC version, and not an Xbox one. Rockstar UK issued a "no comment" as we went to press, but no doubt we shall bring you more on this soon.
As for the PS2 version, reports are stating that the game will be delayed by one week and will now release on October 29.

If you think back to after Vice City on PS2 was released (or around that time), you'll remember that Rockstar actually confirmed that there was NOT going to be an Xbox version of GTA. We all know what happened then...
I have no doubt in my mind that San Andreas will appear on Xbox. Even if Rockstar say otherwise, which -may I remind you- they have not.

Meh, it's still coming to PC. Later than expected but never the less.
