May 21, 2002 - Grand Theft Auto 3 and all future titles in the GTA franchise will be exclusive to PlayStation 2 until October 2004, SCEA announced today at its E3 press conference. The hugely popular "thug simulator," developed by DMA Design for Rockstar Games, was the best-selling game title across all platforms last year, and earned IGN's PS2 Game of the Year award amid dozens of other accolades. This announcement means it's curtains for the planned Xbox version of GTA3, which was to be released later this year.
"Given the worldwide acceptance of PlayStation 2, it's natural for Take-Two to partner with Sony Computer Entertainment America and Sony Computer Entertainment Europe in its respective markets," said Kelly Sumner, CEO of Take-Two Interactive (Rockstar's parent company). "We want our best-selling franchise to reach the greatest number of consumers. The penetration of PlayStation 2 globally, combined with the pervasive nature and power of the PlayStation brand, will help us achieve this objective.
The fact that the PlayStation 2 will be the only home entertainment system on which one can enjoy Grand Theft Auto titles is a great statement for the platform overall."

"HA-HA"
However, it looks like the PC is considered as outside the "exclusive" moniker, as it is not a console.
Thanks to Wookiee for this story, because he's too much of a pansy to post it here.

I had a brief go on GTA3 on a mates PS2 when it first came out and i wasn't that impressed. I just kept getting p!ssed off that my car caught fire what seemed like every 5 seconds!
However, when i bought the game myself and sat down and played it and really got into it, i recognised the game for what it truly is: A F**KING MASTERPIECE!

What? because after reading all your story's about GTA3 and eventually getting to play it a month ago and not really thinking it was as good as everyone hyped it up to be i'm biased?
I'm sooo sorry but I was expecting something a bit more, maybe I need to spend more time with the game but I really wasn't that impressed with it. I'm sorry for having my own opinion I will keep my mouth shut in future.

Yes, and successfully proved to the world that you are indeed a biased nobhead.
Never expected it on Cube anyway though it's not gonna make me run out and buy a PS2 for one *cough* over rated *cough* game.
Did I type that out loud?

Well, I was gonna... but after I posted in the PS2 forum, I had to do some work (for I was at work at the time), and then kinda forgot.
Blame work. Damned inconsiderate of them to expect me to do some work in the middle of a posting session. I should sue them.

Ah, but you spent around £300 on an X-Box too, which gives me an advantage. {:)
