WHO-HOOOOO!!! last night i picket up this month's OXM, and they confiremed that not only is GTA III coming to Xbox, but included with it is VICE CITY!!!!!!!!! THERE IS A GOD!!! and you can use the custom soundtrack feature when your in a car, as well as better graphics, lighting, bump mapping, etc. the only thing i would of asked for more would be an online version, or @ least be able to get mods of Live, and get new skins, missions, cars, weapons, etc. but either way... hey, it's something to snack on untill Halo 2 when it gets pushed back again

Yeah gamestop has it too- offered with free shipping. Do any of you guys know about any good previews of the Xbox version? I'm trying to see what (if any) improvements they've made to the game. I've seen what they've done graphically via screenshots and all, but I'm curious to know about loading times and the like. Thanks for the assist!

Several loading times have been significantly shortned, draw distance is lengthened (so you can actually use the sniper rifle from far away), game rememebers where you have left a vehicle or several, dont know the exact number...so if you leave an ambulance somewhere for a while, it will be there until you jack a few more vehicles.

That was one thing annoying about GTA. Stuff just disappearing.

Like a person would walk past you, if you waited just a few seconds then turn around. That person was gone, no where to be found.

And in Vice City, I remember I parked a car outside the hotel and caused a traffic jam. Went inside, and came out, and it was all gone :(

I remember playing that game on PS2 and wishing that Xbox would get it. Now we will have it soon.

People here have been largely negative about GTA and GTA VC coming to the XBox. Sort of the "Who cares, it's an old game now. I've played it on my PC and on PS2" type comments.

I think it's a huge victory for the Xbox platform. All we need now is the Resident Evil series.

My initial reaction was very much a yawn, but the fact that the two will come together makes it very appetizing. I loaded up GTA III the other day and it really is a fun game. I will probably buy the combo pack for Xbox.

I don't know how much of a victory it is for Xbox, but hopefully I'll be proven wrong and it will sell another million copies. I think the real victory is coming with the left jab of Fable and Halo 2 uppercut next year.

Its called PC. xbox, try as it may, will never realize its potential with LIVE!, and will do nothing with it except make an internet browser, which people, anyone who has a broadband connection, already has.

I went over to my friend's yesterday and played it on ps2, man it gets crazy with the riots cheat, I can't imagine if we gave then weapons too. They better make the codes easy to enter for the 'Box.

I thought that it was released some time this month for ps2, but I'm prob. wrong. Sorry I was unclear, it was the original GTA VC game that we were playing.

It's out for PS2 and it's $30 at Best Buy. I doubt we'll get a sale on ours.

I have to say, this game is looking good for xbox. Just got back from Best Buy, and its freakin awesome. Custom soundtracks are back, people, dont fret! The graphics are pretty damn good, but I still say PC is #1 on this game. Hopefully GTA 4: Sin City (Vegas, baby!) will come out for xbox right off the bat...

that would be nice if it did. I think that it sucks that it is 50 for us but only 30 for ps2, but then again they did fix up the graphics and add custom soundtracks for us, so I guess it evens out, but I don't think that they should have waited so long, I mean didn't it come out almost a year ago??

Anyone know when GTA:4 is gonna come out? Don't care for what system, just interested in knowing when I'll be seeing it.
