Rumors and hints have been floating around Take Two/Rockstar
and their Grand Theft Auto series, largely involving porting
GTA3 and Vice
City ot the Xbox. Now that the proverbial cat is out of
the bag, we have a better idea of what Take Two has been planning.
As stated in the following Press
Release from Take Two, the two pack will be available
for the PS2 In October, while the Xbox version will be available
in November. It is doubtful that the PS2 version will see
much in the way of improvements, but the Xbox version is rumored
to see graphical enhancements (most likely from the PC version).
