GTA3 and Vice city double pack will be released for the PS2 in North America on October 22 2003, with the xbox double pack being released on November 4, 2003. FFS, WHERES THE GAMECUBE VERSION? ;__;
There goes any chance Nintendo had of possibly scoring decent sales this holiday season. -___-

even with the pack releasing i dont think it will sell as much since most people that want the game already have it in one way or another (ps2 or pc)- but i think nintendo will have a great christmas sales time- due mostly to mario kart- that game usually sells pretty good, but we will see come holiday season

This is a glaring example of Nintendo's biggest weakness--the western audience's perception of the GameCube. The fact that it's now the only console that does not have a GTA or any other R* game in the works further gives the impression that either Nintendo has been forsaken by western developers or that they no longer give a damn about America and Europe. NCL is seemingly getting its act together in Japan, but it is being flung to the side in pretty much every other important market.

Too many times do I see people saying Nintendo doesn't need GTA because it's crap. It's things like that that really piss me off.

or that very few people are going to get GTA, when its old, and most have probly played it on PC and/or PS2 already.
So I see 3 possible scenarios, 2 good, one bad, bad being that both True crimes and GTA sells really well on Xbox, good ones being that R* gets pissed at MS due to low sales, other is taht Activision gets pissed do to low sales of TC. Fingers crossed.

I doubt anyone would give a damn about GTA3 today. Who wants it has it and who doesn't probably hates it anyway. But then there are many people who think their console and games are important for their image...

Wow I never thought about that / remember that True Crime comes out a day later. Good observation. You could also think that Sony made Rockstar release their Xbox GTA3/VC combo pack so close to screw Xbox True Crime number or Xbox GTA combo numbers to make Sony look better. I mean why would the Sony release be in OCt and the Xbox release right near True Crime. Of course it could just be a coincidence.

And makr my words- this GTA double pack WILL sell well, on both the XBox and PS2. Common sense does not apply to situations like these.

Agreed. I can't believe they're only giving gamers the choice of rap music in the game. A genre I personally can't stand. One of things that made GTAIII so fun was the hilarious radio stations and all the different styles of music. =/
NO, YOU'RE IN LA! YOU MUST LISTEN TO RAPPER'S BABBLE ON ABOUT GETTIN' WIT THEIR WOMAN AND SWEARING ALOT. IT IS THE LAW.

Ahahaha, when that first popped up in Vice City, I instantly thought of Freddy Got Fingered.

I seriously doubt the Gamecube is getting the GTA double pack at all. Rockstar got out of it's Sony's exclusivity agreement and could EASILY make the double pack available to GC owners. It didn't. Rockstar has been planning on dumping the exclusivity agreement since the beginning of the year and could have easily had the Gamecube in its plans.

I think you're wrong. Xbox owners, like myself, have been waiting a long, long time for either of these titles to come out for xbox. now BOTH of them are for the price of one game. I went out and bought it the first weekend it was available and I now a bunch of xbox owners that are doing the same. I predict huge sales for this double pack title this holiday. Go XBOX!!!!!!!!!!!
The funny part is, this isn't going to help XBox one bit. The package isn't going to sell XBox's, which is what XBox needs. It might sell a few here and there, but it isn't going to move units like it did on the PS2. I'm sure it will sell very well to current XBox owners, though.

Why would someone buy it for that game? It's like claiming Madden is a system seller for gamecube.
It defies logic, I know, but GTA definitely sold PS2s.

More as in, well I wanted that game, but already was going to buy an xbox. With Manhunt coming out, if anything rockstar is trying to maintain their ps2 userbase, not push them away.

"BREAKING NEWS- GCN ISN'T KIDDY!!!"
They should quit worrying about porting GTA3 and VC to a so-called "kid's toy"
