Id be VERY surprised if there wasnt one...

PC owners will just have to wait a few months (after the Christmas rush probably?) before they can get their grubby mitts on them?

I don't see what the problem is anyway, Vice City had been confirmed for the PC, so it will be available for PC gamers, it's just they'll probably have to wait a little longer than PS2 owners.

Anyway, Mafia is out soon, and six months before the PS2 version, and from what I've seen it looks every bit as good as GTA3, so not all is lost.

There's nothing at all to say that it won't be out on PC as far as I'm aware. Rockstar have signed a GTA series exclusivity deal with Sony until 2004, but as far as I know, that doesn't affect the PC at all - only other console formats.

The deal was signed before GTA3 came out on PC, and that still arrived - but a few months later, because they agreed a six-month (or there abouts) total exclusivity deal too. The same may happen with Vice City, but I think a PC version is pretty inevitable.

I don't actually have one, but I know they do exist. I had one for PS1, and they work fine, just buy a controller for your PC with all the controls a PS2 pad has (now why are such things available eh?), and all the controls are at your fingertips.

However, it's generally recommended that you keep an image file of the DVD on your hard drive for them to work properly, so you'd best have a fair amount of space free.

And I can't play this weekend, as I'm off to wales to see in person how my family has inexplicably fallen apart in my absence.

Today children, I'm going to download a PS2 emulator for my PC, not one that runs illegal ROMs, but one that allows me to play PS2 DVDs in my PCs DVD player.

With this completed, I can play any PS2 game on my PC.

Magic.

Not completely legal, but magic nonetheless.

whta kind of a question is wo else wants it on the PC? everyone of course. Rockstar have sold their soul to sony and betrayed thei PC roots. If the games weren't so good i'd boycott them!
