We are getting "Vice City" instead :P

"July 15, 2003 - Sources report that Rockstar's mega-money maker Grand Theft Auto: Vice City will be coming to the Xbox, possibly as soon as this holiday season.
As many insiders know, the Grand Theft Auto series is supposed to be PlayStation 2 console exclusive, however sources reveal that Rockstar is circumventing the agreement by stripping the Xbox version of the title Grand Theft Auto, and simply repackaging the game as Vice City.
Back in May, Take Two's CEO Jeffrey Lapin spoke about a major Rockstar title in development for the Xbox during the company's quarterly conference call with analysts. "We said that there will be an Xbox SKU from Rockstar in the first quarter of the fiscal year 2004 [Nov. to Jan.]," Lapin said, "but we're not going to comment on what it is at this point." It now looks like Vice City is that game.
Vice City's gameplay will be identical to the PC version that recently shipped, and might also include additional features like custom soundtracks and downloadable content."
Clever stuff.

you've all lost your minds, vice city, although already a bit dated, was great.
The only reason I continued to play Vice City on the PC for about 8 days was because I could play my own music in it.
Then when I got bored of seeing how long I could evade the cops I uninstalled it.

The PC one has customisable soundtracks.
Good for sales but apart from that I couldn't give a damn. Boring, repetitive gameplay marred by the fact that you have to listen to the radio stations that are already on there. I know they are "thinking" about cutom soundtracks but without the inclusion of them they can go whistle and if they don't take advantage of LIVE as well then whats the point?!
