TAKE-TWO DISPELLS XBOX GTA3 IN MAY RUMOUR
Rumours on the 'net are rife about the hit PS2 game coming to Microsoft's console in May, but do they hold water? They're leaking like a stuck pig, according to publisher Take-Two
13:53 Sure as eggs are eggs, PS2 owners must be sniggering to themselves in the dark recesses of their bedroom corners when they hear the euphoric cries from owners of other next gen machines about the arrival of GTA 3 on their chosen console. The crime-based smash has been out on Sony's box since October 2001, and the nearest sniff any other hardware has had is the news that it will be out on PC in either April or May this year.
Rumours about the imminent arrival of an Xbox version have stemmed from the fact that e-commerce site Amazon.co.uk is allowing you to pre-order Grand Theft Auto 3 for its arrival in May 2002. On Xbox. Apparently. However, according to Take-Two, an Xbox version doesn't currently exist in any official form.
"GTA 3 was a massive hit on PlayStation 2, and it seems that people are simply expecting it to appear on other next-generation platforms," a spokesperson for the publisher told us today. "At the moment we're concentrating on the PC version of Grand Theft Auto 3, which we're aiming to have out in April or May this year." So how about the rumoured Xbox version? "There's simply nothing to talk about at this time," the spokesperson said.
While this doesn't necessarily mean that GTA 3 won't be coming to Xbox at some point, it looks as though Amazon.co.uk's date of 31st May 2002 could be a tad optimistic.

Oops! Looks like those PS2 sales may have been premature, then.
So glad I didn't sell mine. :-)
What about State of Emergency, then? That's by the same company.
